Gothamist interview with Bill Wadman of 365portraits.com
I'm back here and there with Gothamist interviews (got one coming up Monday too). This time it's with Bill Wadman, who took that photo of me blindfolded with a tie. Click below for the interview and relevant links, and if you like it, please click "Recommended" at the bottom.
Park Slope-based photograher Bill Wadman isn't content to stay idle for long. After picking up his first SLR (single-lens reflex) camera in 2004, he quickly developed a passion for the art. Though he received his degree from Berklee College of Music, photography is now his full time career (and "first love"). January 1st, 2007 saw the launch of his latest, and perhaps most ambitious project thus far, 365 Portraits, a website which will feature a new portrait each day of the year. The catch is that the photos must be taken by Wadman on that same day. Thus far subjects have included former Daily Show writer Chris Regan, writer Grant Stoddard, comedian Jon Friedman, animator Odd Todd, fellow photographer Ryan Brenizer, yours truly, as well as people whose titles range from "Smiler" to "7 days new" baby Maura Grace McDonnell. At the conclusion of the project, Wadman plans to make the entire set of photos available as a gallery exhibition. He recently emailed with Gothamist about his favorite camera equipment, his wish list of subjects, and why New York is a "perfect" place to scout for new faces to immortalize.
