This was the first sight that struck me as something that would look really spectacular in B&W. During Wicker Park Fest I walked by this young woman sitting in the street with her friend. I only took this one photo in passing as I didn’t want to startle her or allude to my presence as a photographer. I literally held up my camera and snapped the picture as I was moving.
I like the way her limbs are folded around each other and the way she’s holding her body. I think it creates really interesting dynamic energy and a sense of movement within the frame. I’m quite thrilled with the composition of the image.

Several months ago J Brand Jeans approached me about working with them to promote their new social media website, JWorld. I was more than happy to collaborate, as the jeans are beloved by fashion icons like January Jones and Anna Wintour. Most recently her royal highness the Duchess of Cambridge Catherine Middleton made waves in the media for her choice of the J Brand 811 mid-rise skinny leg during her recent North American tour. I still feel quite honored that J Brand hand-selected me to help promote their new initiative.
I was given quite a lot of freedom in creating my photos. The only requirement was that I produce street-style images of individuals in J Brand jeans. With the agency’s approval, I went above and beyond the guidelines by shooting at Chicago landmarks including the Bean (Millennium Park’s Cloud Gate), the Daley Plaza Picasso statue, and Wrigley Field.
J Brand Jeans was the first of many fashion companies to collaborate with Amy Creyer to communicate their brand to the Chicago market. To view her entire 15 image portfolio for the project, as well as additional advertising campaigns, click here to visit AmyCreyer.com
Natasha’s skull-patterned dress reminded me heavily of the AllSaints aesthetic. However, AllSaints’ skull emblazoned pieces are a lot more wearable and accessible. I would totally wear Natasha’s dress because I love skulls but it takes a big personality to make something like this work. The bright red flower in her hair tops off the entire look with the perfect feminine touch.
