"Funnily enough, before they were tapped for this project, Ryan says Inez & Vinoodh used to muse about how using a phone would be so much smoother than their traditional setup with heavy gear, lighting, and assistants. "You can just move more quickly and act on ideas as they're evolving," Ryan says. "The phone allows you to be a little bit reckless and take chances. You can shoot thousands of pictures and try things you might not have tried before.""
"Inez & Vinoodh chose to showcase their son Charles Matadin's relationship with his girlfriend, Natalie Brumley, which echoes their own. Both couples fell in love while at art school. "I was thrilled with it because it's so unusual - a mom and dad photography team on their 20-something child's love story," says Kathy Ryan, who curated the exhibit. The shoot took place in Marfa, Texas, and includes a modern take on Gustav Klimt's iconic painting "The Kiss" (1907-1908)."
Joy, in 3 Parts is a photography exhibition shot entirely on the iPhone 17 and displayed at the Petzel Gallery in New York from Sept. 19–21. The collection presents work by Inez & Vinoodh, Mickalene Thomas, and Trunk Xu, all responding to the theme of joy. Inez & Vinoodh photographed their son Charles Matadin and his girlfriend in Marfa, Texas, including a modern interpretation of Klimt's The Kiss. Kathy Ryan notes that phone shooting enabled greater speed, spontaneity, and risk-taking. Mickalene Thomas chose black-and-white images in Fort Greene Park featuring a hammock, dancers, and her daughter jumping rope.
