“I shot this photo of Lupita Nyong’o at the Cannes film festival. She’s on a boat. All I did was asked for her attention, but I didn’t stop the flow of what she was actually doing. Often we go in with constructs of how we want a pitch to be. And the way that I see the world has crystallized to me through not trying to control too much and sort of still being there to not just observe, participate in the world, but not to completely drive the world. The sunlight in this picture is kind of one of my favorite lights, which is just a sort of 45 degree angle of sun coming down the Mediterranean summer, sort of getting low sun. Just, I dunno, you just get such beautiful saturation in color in that light. And it certainly went well for this shot.”
