a "pull up" series by zay monae

the "85mil" is a headshot "pull up" series created by zay monae dedicated to spontaneously approaching individuals and photographing their essence in 5-10 minutes. 

​

the name of this series is derived from the 85 millimeter lens–the focal length of the lens used for the series. The “pull-up” aspect is rooted in driving to the homes of participants or walking up to the subjects being photographed. 

​

Oh my where do I start, first off I just love Zay! She is brilliant with the lens. My 85mil experience was awesome, from the moment she pulled up the energy was beyond welcoming & just really set the vibe. I had such a great time during the shoot and to top it off the photos came out incredible! I literally look at the images and can remember that moment she captured. The overall series is so unique and just so happy to have been a part of it.
