"Down in DUMBO"
DUMBO Brooklyn is currently in disarray, undergoing tons of construction and renovation. The streets are bleak, tractor lined and dust-filled.
This inspired me to shoot an ironic twist on this location with tons of "fun" props and colors. Meanwhile, this girl ends up lost, confused, and out of luck. It describes my style and personality pretty well. Full of contradictions.

Special Thanks to the men at Old Fulton St Garage.

Kristine: Gleason's Gym, DUMBO.

Location: Gleason's Boxing Gym, Brooklyn
Photographer: Kristine Guzman

So, the purpose of this assignment was to photograph fashion in Dumbo. In my defense, there are many different definitions of the word. Style is represented in ways other than clothing or the material products we drape our appearances with. Fashion can be viewed as a trend within a culture, a behavior that is admired, and a lifestyle that is lived. With my project, I deferred away from the common theme associated with the word, and chose a different approach.

The concept of boxing is rather interesting when you really sit down and dissect it. The practice involves training and nurturing the body, only to risk the body. One may wonder what drives a person to fight for the sake of sport. Is it to satisfy the ego, is it to release anger? Well, I have tried kickboxing (to the best of my ability) and my ego does not need the satisfaction of causing physical damage to another human being, nor am I an angry person. I'm actually pretty calm. However, boxing does provide a sudden jolt of energy, a rush, and a release.. And it will leave every muscle your own sore.

Fashion in all cases is to be admired and is sometimes impractical. Boxers live a lifestyle where they are not judged by their appearance, clothes, equipment, not even by their size. Raw skill, endurance, speed and strength define the athlete and the combination of these characteristics create the image of a true champion. 

Below are some of the images from my shoot last Friday. My friend Jamuel Vaz was one of my models. I met the other man the day before the shoot when I scouted with Charles and he agreed to be my second subject. I also photographed some of the boxers who regularly practice there. This was my first time shooting mainly film for a real shoot in a long time. I also shot digital, and will post more images soon. I have images of my two subjects boxing which were shot digitally because the ring was bouncy and I didn't want to drop the Hasselblad, and because it was hard to quickly frame and focus with that camera when they were moving around so fast -- I had them fight for real in order to get more realistic looking images (Sorry to my friend who isn't a trained boxer).

So, here...

Last Call for NYC book images



Tuesday is the last day NYC book project shoot images (from 4/9) will be collected. 

There's been a week extension for everyone, but there's still some people who are missing submissions. You can get them to Kelsey, Andrew, Karissa, Julie or myself. The book needs time for it to be sent out for publication, so if we don't have your images you won't be included in the final print.

Thanks guys,
Kristine and Julie

MAGAZINE PROJECT DEADLINE ERROR

HEY GUYS-

I'm a complete moron. I originally posted that the submissions for both the fashion and food & wine magazine were due on Monday, May 19th. I really meant Monday, APRIL 19th. Unfortunately, Mag Cloud, who will be publishing our magazine, has a long turn around time, so to get a printed magazine to us by final critique, we would need to submit the content by next week. It's totally my mistake, so please just do the best you can to get it to me as soon as possible. And remember, I only need your images and content, you DO NOT have to lay it out. Our group will do that part. Again, I am so sorry for the error.

Thank you
-Kerry

HELP! NEED MAGAZINE SUBMISSIONS ASAP!

Hey Everyone,

PLEASE email your magazine submissions. The deadline was yesterday. We won't have a printed magazine by the end of the semester unless I get this submitted to the publisher by the end of this week, and my group needs time to lay it all out. Trust me, I know you're all crazy busy with all these different projects, but the magazine publisher takes 2 weeks just to send me a proof! Thank you. I'll be anxiously awaiting your submissions.

Please email submissions to:
kerrydavidson@me.com
Feel free to contact me at 917.445.4547 if you have any questions.
Thank you!
