Thank you again Curt for allowing me to excavate OG Studios’ property for the day and photograph alongside yourself in documenting FSNYC’s growth and development as an enterprise and social movement. I’m sure I’ll be seeing many of the people I met this weekend fairly soon, possibly in the same space.Ĭheck out FSNYC’s latest collection on their site, and also be sure to follow them on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. She is on the show today telling us stories from the days of studio 54 and more much.

I only went to one in Forte Greene, watching her being photographed by this amazing female photographer named Sioux. Nikki is an entrepreneur, socialite, and extraordinary party giver. Later after the shoot was finished, I tagged along with my self-proclaimed mentor Trae to her other appointments in Brooklyn and Manhattan. The chemistry, whether synthetic or organic, that I witnessed being developed between Trae and Sam was surely something I admire most about visual art – to watch your vision literally manifest itself in the creative direction of both yourself and the subjects in a scene. Male model Sam walked in not too long after the beginning of the shoot, and because I hadn’t done studio work in almost 4 years, I thought I could practice on someone, I took a quick headshot of him before Curt resumed the set again. Silently referring to her as Badu in my head every time we conversed, I watched from a respectable distance of other black visual artists do exactly what they loved, supported by those who loved what they did as much as they loved themselves, and treated each other with the love they both deserved. Yoga Sociale is a social space where yoga is used to increase our sense of self, sense of others, sense of connection and sense of community. Yoga Sociale was born from the idea of creating a space to allow participation in cultural and holistic wellness activities.

I couldn’t stop laughing from how obvious this all was – where else could have Curt shot his clothing line’s newest collection? Knowing he had thrown his last birthday party in the studio, the joke finally settled and I began working like I had been friends with these people for months rather than associates in weeks.įirst, I met Trae, the soulful female model from Jersey City, and automatic fell in love with her spirit and creativity.Being a filmmaker and overall visual composer, I knew from her composed demeanor that she must have had some theater background, later finding out she graduated in 2010 from the New School of Research with a degree in acting.

And low and behold, after FSNYC owner Curtis Bryant opened the door and showed me around inside the space, I went into the other room and finally met the owners – Charley and Jullian of OG Studios.
