Col3trane
by Richard Gerst
I do not consider myself a fashion photographer.
I consider myself a portrait and fine art photographer.
But recently I was given an assignment to shoot the singer Col3trane for Vogue Italia at Vogue.it with my buddy Stefano Guerrini styling, and I took it.
I love great talent and design.
Col3trane is talented.
KidSuper, AKNVAS, TEDDY VON RANSON, Victor Li and Jehu-Cal are talented.
But it was my loyalty combined with Stefano’s talent that pulled me in. We have worked together for a decade now- initially I shot for his online site at GQ Italia, pushing limits with social commentary- and eventually for print assignments in Europe.
So when this opportunity came along, I took a weekend to prepare and a weeknight to shoot, and stepped up.
Fun.
