New York-based photographer Eric Kogan took this image on a household day of furnishings and thrift-store searching in Shelton, Connecticut, a couple of 90-minute drive from their Brooklyn dwelling. En route, they stopped off in New Haven for a pizza. “Town is legendary for its top-notch pizza eating places,” Kogan says. “And the one we selected, Frank Pepe’s, is rumoured to have invented the first-ever pizza field!” After lunch they continued on to Shelton, pulling into the big car parking zone of a furnishings pattern retailer just a little earlier than 4pm.
“It was so tucked away that we saved questioning if we have been on target,” Kogan says. “The moon got here into view as we made our option to the doorway. The solar had simply set and it was semi-daylight out. I looked for the proper place to face. I additionally had to underexpose the body a bit, turning it down till the moon felt proper: luminous and detailed in opposition to its subdued environment.”
Kogan determined to depart the safety cameras within the picture untouched. “It may need been cleaner with out them, however, in addition to cropping and adjusting values, it’s not in my apply to take away issues from photographs.”
Kogan’s spouse, Melissa Breyer, can be a photographer; her picture of a deli employee washing a window featured in a Good shot column in 2022. Kogan insists that, partly as a result of their types are so totally different, there is no such thing as a competitors between the pair. “Works by each of us journey to so many locations that they’ve virtually taken on a lifetime of their very own. We met by way of pictures and our photographs have discovered themselves to Good shot independently. It doesn’t get higher than that!”
