Respect the Shooter: Jason Eric Hardwick

“Jonathan is my favorite male models to work with. He’s super chill and he understands you don’t have to try so hard all of the time to look good in a photograph. We were at a home in Midtown Manhattan that was owned by a prop stylist, so we had lots of great pieces to use for the set. For this shot, I wanted it to look like this is where he ended up from the night before and so he’s draped over this couch and has a look of being weightless, with three cigarette butts in his mouth making you wander what exactly was going on.”
