Interview with photographer Darren Keith: Part 1
In part 1 of the post, I thought I would start with some overall questions about Darren’s history and his personal interpretation of the fashion/beauty industry. In part 2 I will ask him more technical questions, and invite Darren to share with us a “behind-the-scenes” of one his shoots.

One of the great many advantages, of having my photo studio in the Chelsea Arts Building for the past three years, was being surrounded by so many top creative professionals. In addition to the benefits that come from being surrounded by good people, I also became more familiar with the work of one of my studio ‘neighbors,’ fashion photographer, Darren Keith. Darren moved across the hall from my studio in 2010 and over time, as we got to know one another, we became friends and I discovered what a wealth of information Darren is (hence this blog post).

Thanks to PhotoShelter for thier recent webinar interview with Forbes Magazine Senior Photo Editor Michele Hadlow. Her fantastic interview inspired this blog post. I highly recommend checking it out: Listen to the Interview
After listening to this most insightful interview with Michele Hadlow, I decided to share my own experience shooting for Forbes and working with Michele.
Here is a recent article, which was published in St. Louis Town & Style Magazine’s April 2012 issue. I had a great interview with the writer, Lauren Madras, who I feel truly understood a lot about my approach to photography and the rationale behind my business ethics.
This video from a recent shoot I did with Artist Jason Hackenwerth for the New York Times Magazine.

Harlem Stories: By By Wonderful Machine
Wednesday July 27th, 2011
Sean Gilligan lives in Harlem. One day, while walking along his street, he met an old neighbor named Peanut. Peanut began telling Sean about their block and the history held within. Sean learned how Peanut had once been a great dancer and about their neighbor Poncho, a legendary conga player who’d once played for Fidel Castro during his historic visit with Malcolm X. Enthralled by these stories, Sean soaked in as much in as he could. Then, last winter Peanut passed away, and Sean realized how many stories he’d taken with him. At that moment, Sean became committed to gathering and sharing the stories of his fellow Harlem residents.
