The October issue of Modern Painters magazine features a selection of images I shot of artist Adam Pendleton at his upstate New York studio. Forthcoming in the exhibition catalogue for his show I’ll Be Your, currently up at Pace London.

SHABD SS12 Lookbook.
I’m very excited to have collaborated with my friend Shabd on her SS12 lookbook, inspired by my project from the Studio Museum residency and featuring still lifes from her studio and working process. Here are a few shots I liked, more coming soon!
DIS Magazine, the labor issue.
I shot a portfolio of gallery front desks in Chelsea last week for DIS Magazine’s labor issue. See it online here.
NOMIA outtake.
An outtake from the look book shoot I did for Yara Flinn’s line NOMIA. Model: Bianca Luz / Supreme.
DIS: What to wear to bed.
I did a fun shoot for my friends’ online magazine DIS. Here are a few outtakes below, but follow the link to the real thing. And if you haven’t been following DIS yet – DO IT!
Arcade44
I made a short video project for Arcade44, with my friends Darren Kinoshita on styling and Edward Kim at House Casting. It went up a few weeks ago but I’m just getting to putting it up here. To see the video go to Arcade44 here.
Outtakes of Slava.
The other day I shot some portraits of Slava to accompany a forthcoming interview in OAK NYC’s OAKAZINE and really loved these outtakes. It’s been a while since I’ve posted photos on here so here we go!
Thinking about the near future, I’m really wanting to get into regularly contributing portraits to magazines in print and on the web. Some other upcoming things are some photos I did for Mirror Mirror’s forthcoming album, a video editorial for the new web magazine Arcade44 and tomorrow I’m doing a portrait of Croatian choreographer and performer Matija Ferlin for CURRENCY magazine.
Playing around.
Nick and Matt and I decided to get together and put together a shoot, for fun, and also to use to prospect more opportunities. Nick and I did the recent spring project that Line – A Journal published in March, and Matt’s an old friend who does photo production, and I did a portrait of him back in 2005. He and his boyfriend let us use their loft in Tribeca to shoot and it’s always better to shoot in a warm home space. My friend Ed cast two really great guys – Juan and Max – and they were so much fun to work with. Kelsy Osterman was super great with hair.
We decided on doing an editorial for OAK to keep it simple and flexible, and after we finish editing there’ll be more to see!
Line – a journal
My friend Nicholas Whitehouse and I collaborated on a springy fashion-portrait project that’s online now in the 2nd issue of Line – a journal. We got together a bunch of friends and shot them in TM Davy’s studio and had a great time playing dress up. Very simple!
ZOOT magazine.
I shot some portraits of the band The Poselles, menswear designer Robert Geller, model/designer David Lindwall, design duo Pleasure Principle, and designer Kenneth Courtney for the Portuguese magazine ZOOT, out now!
MUSE Magazine with Item Idem and Haidee Findlay-Levin.
I just picked up my copy of MUSE Magazine, the current issue is dedicated to model/muse Natasha Poly. I did a contribution in collaboration with the genius Item Idem in drag as his “idol” Poly, amazing stylist Haidee Findlay-Levin and hair/make-up by Blair Jaffer. In the accompanying text on p.113 Calvin Klein misspelled my name, but I think Mpagy reads pretty great!
For those in Paris, Colette will be having a special Natasha Poly event beginning this Friday the 18th.
Claudia Rosa Lukas on Interview Magazine online.
Claudia Rosa Lukas has a nice feature up on Interview online, with some of the lookbook photos I did of her previous collection in Vienna. See it here.
