My Fashion Stylist Portfolio Got Destroyed By Irma, But I Could Never Imagine That The Hurricane Would Create Unique Noir Photos
I used to be a fashion stylist in New York City and worked on lots of beautiful editorials many of which were already pretty avant-garde and some were a bit dark.
At some point in my life, everything stopped making sense, my whole life stopped making sense and I started looking for the meaning. At that time, I met my husband in a meditation center. We decided to move to Florida and start one of a kind edible meditation garden there as he is an advanced meditator and I'm a master gardener.
And that's how my portfolio ended up in a storage shed. When Hurricane Irma hit, I was alone at home as my husband was traveling. It was very overwhelming for me. The only thing that saved us from flooding was the fact that our house is on stilts, however, storage was flooded big time.
I didn't unpack the storage trunks for a while, there were lots of other things to worry about, fallen trees and dying flooded young plants, and I didn't notice there was a crack in the case where my portfolio was stored. I also lost my entire collection of designer clothes from NY times but it was some kind of good riddance since I was too attached to it.
Since I didn't need my portfolio on a daily basis, it sat there, wet, for a couple of months creating these amazing patterns.

I love the texture and tones in this piece. It's truly beautiful in a haunting way.
That's the beauty of non-digital photos. Life happens to them as well, and as for all of us sometimes even the worst thing can give some pretty amazing result in the end..
The message of this t-shirt is actually "I don't want to talk to you if you're a hater", but surely everyone can interpret it the way they like.
Your photos were awesome before, but I am in LOVE with them now! Happy little accidents, hey?
I would still submit them, they were beautiful before, but nature has enhanced them even more! Maybe change the brief if the original doesn't fit now, because these photos deserve to be seen in their full glory.
It is sad that the original photo’s were damaged but they look relly beautiful still. Bravo
I recognize some of those photos. The damage is actually interesting, though.
I would love to own one or two of your photos. Could you photgraph the photos and make prints for sale_
Curious Cat, of course my images exist in digital form. My physical portfolio got damaged but the originals are still intact:)
cool pics.. just wonder why you didnt back all the photos up to the cloud?
Really love these photos. Can you email me at alex@mediadrumworld.com please? Thank you!
