Naco Paris_the fashion designer who dared_new mini-portolio added to my site

I just added to my "new" section of my site 11 Publicity shots that I took last month for Naco Paris, "the designer who doesn't like fashion" at the Chelsea hotel in NYC and in  Bushwick,Bklyn.
He's the one who created the "Karl Who ?" sensational bag in 2009, that was embraced by Karl Lagerfeld at the end of that saga.

Have you ever been the underdog ? (Flashback to Nov. 2009)


"Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio_excerpts from the book "I am Amerikan" from rafael fuchs on Vimeo.

A multi-media presentation, from Nov. 2009, with some of the images from the limited edition book "I Am Amerikan" that I self- published about a year and a half ago.
It was featured in a few magazines, including http://www.visuramagazine.com/vm/rafael-fuchs 
What can I say ? There are some weird, bizarre and hillarious, at times, scenes that  are occuring in front of my camera, including injutice. Shall I keep those images in my drawers?

"Postcards" from Bushwick. The video.

"Postcards" from Bushwick by Rafael Fuchs from rafael fuchs on Vimeo.



This is a multi-media presentation I created as a homage to my neighborhood, Bushwick.
It has over 150 images, and the music is "Glitches" by The Roots, featuring Amel Larrieux. I'm going to create a few more presentation like that, with different images and different music.
