Photographed in August 2024 at the west side piers

A highly realistic documentary-style photograph of at least five pigeons in a New York City subway station, gathered in a loose imperfect circle on the ground in the center: an open brown cardboard egg carton containing a dozen eggs, some broken, with egg yolk and cracked shells scattered across the dirty subway floor. The pigeons are naturally interacting with the eggs, pecking, stepping, circling, some ignoring them, some with small eggshell fragments casually resting on their heads or beaks. Each pigeon is wearing green sculptural sunglasses EXACTLY matching the reference image, same flower-shaped frame design, same translucent green material, same proportions and thickness. The sunglasses are properly worn on the pigeons’ heads, aligned with their eyes, sitting naturally on their beaks and face structure, correctly scaled, not oversized, not floating, not separate objects. Subway environment: white tiled walls, grime, subtle graffiti, metal columns, worn textures, authentic NYC subway atmosphere. Lighting: harsh overhead fluorescent subway lighting with slight green tint, uneven and imperfect, soft shadows. Composition: low angle, close to the ground, intimate framing, shallow depth of field, some pigeons sharp, others slightly out of focus. Style: hyper realistic, documentary photography, not stylized, not cartoon, natural imperfections, slight grain, imperfect exposure. Textures highly detailed: feathers, wet egg yolk, cracked shells, dirty floor, subtle reflections.

Extra(ordinary) x Loewe

I find deep inspiration in the “everyday” details—the small, often unnoticed moments that life gives us. My creative process is always driven by observation, and I like to call these findings the extra(ordinary): ordinary things that, when looked at closely, become something much more meaningful.

One of my hobbies is photographing these moments and imagining the stories behind them. I love taking something small and overlooked and transforming it into a full visual narrative.

This project was born from photographs I took on the streets of New York and the stories I imagined around them. I chose NYC animals as the main characters because they felt unexpected, humorous, and naturally connected to Loewe’s playful aesthetic and ironic twist. For that reason, I decided to frame the project through the world of Loewe.

All of the visuals were created with Midjourney and later refined using Nano Banana Pro. Loewe logo was added with Photoshop.
