Hannah Robinett: Jewelry Entrepreneur

A couple months ago my friend Hannah Robinett asked me to take some portraits to be used for her new Brooklyn based jewelry business, mynlyn. We ventured out on a nice Sunday morning and walked the streets of northwest Tribeca. Tribeca is a wealth of old warehouses that provide texturally rich backgrounds, like brick, graffiti, and those old stairs with embedded glass (to provide light in cellars). Here are some of my favorite shots from that day.

If you get a chance, please visit Hannah's jewelry website here: mynlyn. Mynlyn is limited edition 3D printed jewelry creatively designed in Brooklyn, NY. I've got my eye on a few pieces!

The Workers

Mr.Chow

 

I've become that annoying person that always has their camera. This was taken while walking home from a date night with my husband. The photo was taken around 7:30pm. This Mr. Chow waiter was standing perfectly, and his white crisp jacket looked great against the old brick and iron in the background. I quickly grabbed my camera and shot without the settings correctly set. The result was an image a bit underexposed but I still really like it. The image would also be a bit better if there weren't the two diners behind him. Taken with 50mm.

Walking Suits

 

These guys caught my eye because one of them was holding a basket which looked kind of funny to me considering they're in suits. I like the leading lines created by the iron facade, and stoop on the left. They seem to balance the men on the right.  I don't mind that we don't see their faces, as it adds a bit of intrigue to the image.

Flower Man

It was midday when this was taken so the sun was especially harsh. To protect the flowers from wilting, a bamboo screen was pulled down with enough room for this man to work. The way the light was softened by the screen, resulted in beautiful light on the flowers and his hand.
