Gina Velour, Chicago 1997
Marne Lucas (AKA Gina Velour) and I headed out to Chicago’s financial district on Lasalle Street around 7am on a Sunday morning to get this shot. Normally that street is bustling with people, cars, and buses. This is one of the only shots I’ve ever done where I preconceived the image prior to shooting. Most of my work is improvised on location.
