I took this shot of Brittany on the balcony of our room at the Chelsea Hotel during a recent trip to NYC. It was a great place to go to get creatively inspired. After spending a day at the MoMA and the International Center for Photography, I couldn't help but take a few shots of her at the end of a day. I actually lit her with a bunch of hotel room lamps stacked on a table inside the window with their shades removed. (I didn't bring any lighting equipment with me and it was too impatient to wait another day to rent any) The Hotel staff where so accommodating by turning on the hotel sign an hour early for us. We only had a window of about 15 minutes where the sky was perfect and this shot was one of my favorites out of the bunch.
