Capturing NYC's Timeless Essence: Daniel Derro Regan's Unforgettable Carhartt WIP Campaign
An exploration of the concrete jungle's past and present
Photographer Daniel Derro Regan situates Carhartt WIP's Winter 2023 campaign in the vibrant tapestry of New York City, not as a fixed location, but as a fragment of memory and time, resonating strangely in the light of the present.
Throughout the series, the ambient lighting emphasizes the synthetic nocturnal glow of the city, spanning from Queens to Harlem, evoking memories of film stills from the pre-millennium era. In the midst of this urban brilliance, there are moments of silence and solitude captured in unadorned domestic spaces and empty subway cars and platforms.
The clothing featured hails from Carhartt WIP's collection for the season, embodying loose fits and robust fabrics reminiscent of late '90s NYC. This doesn't stem from a deliberate yearning for nostalgia but rather from the cyclical nature of aesthetics, where even timeless classics can experience lulls and bursts of new energy.
In conversation with Regan, these ideas provide an evocative perspective on the city, not strictly tied to a particular era but interpreting memories from a contemporary viewpoint.
