Amy Sherald Instagram – Behind the scene of the shooting Precious Jewels by the Sea. Wanted to make a painting on the beach and it was the middle of winter so we improvised with many many bags of sand. I really only like shooting outside in natural light but it was Jan in NY. 15 min in I realized that the multi-task of being behind the camera and directing the models pose by pose( while looking for the painting composition in the process) was a little difficult so my trusted friend and talented photographer @melaniedunea photographed while I focused on the subjects and creating the image I wanted 🤪 #art #painter #hauserandwirth #amysherald #paintersprocess #studio #beachday also starring my assistant @kelliryan ☺️
