Hot in the City was originally published in Lovebite Magazine in London. Produced in New York City, I was working with a new team of stylist, make-up artist and wanted to present different views using the backdrop of New York.
As a producer, I am looking for stories that weave and cross themes and subjects with styling that sometimes echos, and sometimes clashes with the themes.I had wanted to emphasize the constant drive of a city at work. And when the stylist suggested swimwear for a shoot at a beach, I thought the city would create better contrast.
Shooting for a summer release, we wanted to bring beachwear into a different setting than a beach, and emphasize the curves of the human form against the hard structures of buildings.
