Philip Edsel captures portraits during the chaos of New York Fashion week.
This month Philip Edsel was chosen by Tumblr to be one of their creators during New York Fashion Week Men's. They gave him an all-access pass and the freedom to create, so while most of the other photographers were trying to capture the insanity and action of the runway, Philip was looking for quieter, more personal portrait moments amidst the chaos.
It was truly a photographers dream. With dozens of models, designers, and even their celebrity friends milling around backstage, he was able to steal them for a quick second to grab a portrait, usually ducking behind a rack of clothes for some privacy, or up against a window for some beautiful natural light. Here are a few of the images from his experience.

A Look at Influencer Philip Edsel's Groundbreaking Instagram Novel
In 2013, I combined my love for photography and writing into a project aimed at creating a community of writers on Instagram, called #captionsbywriters. I wrote a series of short prose entries inspired by the images I would post.
Then in 2014, in honor of National Novel Writing Month (November), I decided to be a little more ambitious and write the first ever Instagram novel. It was a photographic novel consisting of 30 original images and chapters, written and post each day. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but luckily, it ended up being a project I'm super proud of, and one that gained a lot of attention. To read the novel, entitled #TheValleyOfAshes, you can either search the hashtag or the hashtag #myinstagramnovel, or just follow me @edsel and scroll down to my first title post which you can see below.
Here are a few of the posts! (And here is Instagram's feature on me.)
