Coming Full Circle with José González
Reunited five years later at Webster Hall

Back to the Present
In 2010, José González and Junip were part of my first ever “real deal“ portrait session at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. To think that it’s been five years since we last crossed paths (and about everything that has happened in between) completely blows my mind. Besides the growth of his signature mane, José has gone from being the “Heartbeats“ heartbreaker to a soundtrack contributor for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
Five years ago, Brooklyn welcomed Junip and in 2015
we get a reintroduction to José González with his latest solo album Vestiges & Claws.

About Stories
Starting from a love of music and film, and wanting to collaborate with those involved, Stories has been the ultimate passport in navigating the world of creatives and their craft. Each project has opened the door to an opportunity that at one time felt out of reach. Moments have been shared, experiences gained, and friendships fostered all through Stories. The freedom of this personal project has given me the chance to express my own abilities alongside those whose work has had an effect on me. Time and time again, Stories has proven that sharing is the true gift of collaboration.
