SCOTT GORDON BLEICHER PHO(BLOG)GRAPHY

Recently had the chance to photograph celebrity trainer Simone Ayesa for Crocmedia, an Australian PR firm.

Simone is the personal trainer for Matt Damon and Kirsten Dunst to name a few, and works at a very exclusive boutique gym in TriBeCa, owned by Gwyneth Paltrow. So exclusive, in fact, that there is no outdoor signage for the chique second-floor gym. It seems that if you know about it then that means that you’re supposed to know about it.

Any papparazos out there, I can tip you off to the location but it’ll cost ya. (Just kidding Simone!)

We were fortunate enough to have permission to shoot in the locker room as you can see from the image on my site here, which is accompanied by a casual lifestyle shot at Peace & Love Cafe. An alternate shot of Simone jogging by the Hudson is below.

Below is a shot from an impromptu, ‘in-house’ portrait session that I did earlier this summer for Rebel Ink magazine’s launch party at the Coney Island Freak Bar. It was a humid summer night filled with friends, beer, tatts, more tatts, and, um, some guy hammering nails into his nose and a girl breathing fire and swallowing swords.

Thanks to the Coney Island Circus Sideshow for an always entertaining and nausea-inducing performance and an extra special thanks to Dan Howell and Rebel Ink magazine.

Loud Objects, an experimental noise and chiptune trio, have released an album called Cory Arcangels on Free Music Archive and have used a shot from a session that I did with them for the album cover.

You can listen to the album for free here.

The original image and an alternate look can be seen in the Musicians gallery on my website, here.

Oh and maybe they should be considered a four piece group if you count the overhead projector. See one of their organic, spontaneous live shows and you’ll understand.
