Inspired by David Hockeny's Pearl Blossom Highway, this is one of a new series of montages I've been shooting here in the studio.

Since we moved into the new studio I’ve been exploring and really enjoying the new space. Right away I started a new personal project making portraits of freckled people. That series is now online here. Since I had cool people coming to the studio to sit for me I figured I could try something even more experimental then the freckles project. This series, which was inspired by David Hockeny’s Pearl Blossom Highway allows me to explore each subject through a series of detail images, this one of Ria Murphy is comprised of 69 individual photographs. I used an old Apple Box which I inherited when I moved into the studio as a unifying element in the series, it and the space itself are the only consistencies in these montages. Because of the nature of this project, you can’t tell if you have something good until you assemble all the parts, it has some of the magic and surprise that we all used to love with film.
