I spent the day yesterday at the Scope Art Show helping out artist Cara Philips.  In conjunction with the exhibition of her Ultraviolet Beauties at the show, she  set up a studio and offered collectors the chance to get a commissioned Ultraviolet portrait. Cara with her own UV self portrait

The set

I had worked with Cara on her previous UV shoot when we were out in Union Square. It was fascinating to see the stark contrast between that shoot (in the streets, shooting random passersby, free) versus yesterdays shoot (contemporary art world’s invitation only high society, commissioned) Yet, even though the shooting atmospheres couldn’t have been more polar, once shot, the images became unified into her singular body of work and they are all simply stunning!

Here’s some other gems I came across at the show. If you have some time this weekend, go check it out for yourself. Also- the fashion and people watching alone are worth it!

I didn’t see who was the artist who did this (sorry!), but I thought it was really cool. It’s one of the first things you see when you walk in.
