River Phoenix
NYC, 1988 1
River Phoenix, Manhattan NY, 1988. I mean, how many people got to photograph River Phoenix? Very few. He died young, but he really made his mark in the time he had here. We wandered around Manhattan with no real plan and stumbled into the Empire Diner, a spot now just a memory on 10th Avenue. There was a phone booth, and we shot with him standing there for a bit, and at the booth, and then he just sunk to the floor. In that moment, you could feel his presence, his personality. There was just something about River that made him so significant and that was the essence that I wanted to capture.
