My job as sound designer/mixer was to create vivid and uniquely haunting sounds that helped Albert tell his story as one of the world’s most respected and iconic photographers.

His images speak for themselves but I was honored to try and use the sounds of NYC and experimentation to draw the viewer in further.

My favorite part of this process was working with Sam's music in the early stages and treating the sound design as a musical element. We discussed in detail the key, chords and modality to make sure that our work was cohesive and impactful.
