New York.

The city where creatives flock seeking, inspiration, expression, entertainment, reflection, or to simply to be amongst like-minded souls.

Iconic in its appearance and timeless aesthetic, the ultimate bucket list location for photographers, filmmakers, designers, models, architects, foodies… I could go on.

This would be my third visit to New York City but my first creative endeavour.

I approached Finnish singer-songwriter Iris Koko to collaborate on what I hoped would be mutually beneficial concept.

To my delight I was met with great enthusiasm.

I first met Iris in 2012 when she was a student studying in Glasgow. Now based in NYC, she has fashioned a successful career through her music and art.

To reconnect 10 years on, share our experiences, and produce a piece this work together was a rewarding experience for us both.
