Lately.
After what it seems like forever, I recruited the (amazing) help of Eddie + Matt and sat down (for what seemed like 29 hours straight) and finished my website. www.ysaperez.com Other things: I turned 24. I shot for AnOther Magazine recently (whom I was wishing to work with for a while !). I shot LIAM [...]
56 days later.
I’ve accepted the fact that my updates are infrequent and so, 56 days later after my last post about Miami, these are things that have happened since then. It is summer time, sort of, if it ever stops raining in New York. This month is officially one year at GQ, one year of traveling to [...]
MIA
A week or so ago I was in Miami and oh yes, it was the shit. I left the 23rd from Times Square as it was sleeting and couldn’t wait to get the hell out of New York. Although I was stuck in the middle of two people (Delta, it’s 2011 get your shit together [...]
Brooklyn Magazine.
I’m extremely happy to introduce Brooklyn Magazine. My friend Crystal Gwyn and her team over at the L Magazine launched this monthly quarterly yesterday and I’d really like to share their hard work, and mine, as I was fortunate enough to be involved with two stories in the inaugural issue. Crystal and I worked together [...]
Point & Shoot — literally.
When I was in London staying with Tom I played with his Contax T2 and really fell in love with it. It’s so light, but has such good control with it’s manual functions. I really love the beauty of film but I do not like the weight of cameras anymore. I didn’t care in school, [...]
I don’t know where to start.
These pictures are from whatever I’ve been doing in the last month. I shot the band The Duke Spirit two weeks ago, went really well. The chick Leila was very sweet, and god knows I love british people (I have Peep Show on loop at my house.) I’m still on the grind here in Times [...]
Work + Play.
It’s been a little over a month since I’ve been back from London, which was around the last time I posted unfortunately. I shot a couple within the absence, both film and digital and it felt good. I know a lot of you who shoot constantly probably couldn’t fathom not having a camera with you, [...]
I’m bad at this.
Which is a shame because I’m pretty good at the internet, but this here — I’m somewhat bad with keeping up. I think I know what it is. I don’t shoot as much as I’d like to so I feel like I have nothing to say if I don’t have photographs to accompany them. I [...]
Andrew Garfield
My shoot with Andrew just came out this month in NYLON, which I mentioned a little while ago in this post. There’s a lot of buzz in my office, many have seen The Social Network and think he’s going to do big things, which I think so as well. I’m happy I was able to [...]
My first NY Fashion week.
I’ve never lived in New York for Fashion Week nor had the credibility to really experience it let alone attend. I shot for the Sundance Channel for their launch of Full Frontal Fashion. However, Roxanne Lowit pretty much was the hero of the day. Eric and I are in the rain outside Lincoln Center Sunday [...]
