The Weekend Rec.

Sometimes the 'algorithm aligns' and a nagging mystery is solved. I saw that recent Vanity Fair political photoshoot and my eyebrow raised… a lot.

Fueled by my insomnia and the YouTube algorithm, I found this great explainer from photographer Yvonne Hanson. It’s both entertaining and educational—watch it while you can.

She breaks down how these deeply intimate portraits by Christopher Anderson make bold statements about their subjects and, given the subject material, how they ever got published for a mainstream audience. It’s an insightful, fascinating, and worth your time look into this instant-classic set of portraits.

Support the Artist: Definitely check out Yvonne’s print shop. She has some masterful works that will undoubtedly elevate your space. Plus, the price ranges are for everyone. No excuses. 😆

Thank you to Yvonne for allowing me to directly share a snip of her insights on Oaklens!
