CITY KIDS is a black-and-white photo series that reimagines everyday urban life through the lens of editorial fashion. Styled in unconventional office clothing, the models become part of the environments I pass through daily; stoops, alleyways, rooftops, warehouses. Spaces I once overlooked simply because of how familiar they’ve become.
This series is about reclaiming visual attention. By pairing stylized, elevated fashion with the grit and routine of the city (whether that be NY or LA). City Kids invites a second look at the ordinary. It’s a meditation on repetition and reinvention, on how beauty emerges when you shift the context, when you frame what’s been forgotten. It’s about seeing the poetry in your own neighborhood, and remembering that art doesn’t need a new place, it just needs a new gaze.
