Catalogue Essay
‘I was commissioned to shoot this portrait of Alexander for American Vogue. I expected him to come in wearing what he usually wore – a T-shirt or something more casual. I was surprised to see him in a formal suit. This picture did not run until after he passed away in 2010. After looking at my 8x10 Polaroids, I discovered one Polaroid that was stuck to another; a haunting ghost image appeared on the back of the one that had adhered to the original. Plus, another image of Alexander on the other side.’
