Photography by Erica Shires

Written by Marius Troy on April 21st, 2010

Brooklyn based fashion photographer Erica Shires has been working professionally for about 5 years, and her main sources of inspiration are melancholy moments, small details, serendipity, old books, ghosts stories, other creepy things, and the Swedish film Let The Right One In. Her inspirations seems to influence her work, which often is a bit mystical and dark, but playful. She has been shooting lookbooks for Erica Tanov and Cloack + Dagger, and her work has been featured in Foto8, New York Magazine, and Bust.

About the future, she says: “I recently finished Erica Tanov’s SS10 campaign and I’m about to shoot a story for Vevant. I just mixed up chemicals for a new wet plate series. And I’ve been shooting a lot of video and learning final cut pro.”
