EL PAIS SEMANAL
Valerie Steele at The Museum of the FIT, NY

 

Sometimes a portrait session becomes more than a shoot — it turns into a conversation about passion, art,
and the city itself.

 

I photographed Valerie Steele, the brilliant curator and director of The Museum at FIT, for my absolutely favorite Spanish weekly magazine, El País Semanal. A true New Yorker — sharp, warm, and endlessly curious.

Her exhibition "Dress, Dreams & Desire" explores fashion, fantasy, and the subconscious — and it was such a privilege to capture her, glasses and all, in her own world, surrounded by the ideas that have shaped decades of fashion history.

The shoot was orchestrated by Carmen Guri for El País Semanal.
