The Blank Page Magazine
Exit at the Bowery
Jun 2025
Exit at the Bowery is a photographic editorial feature for The Blank Page Magazine, documenting actor Simon Baker in a series of candid, narrative-driven portraits. The project captures the subject across various New York City environments, transitioning from the confined, voyeuristic atmosphere of hotel interiors to the textured, gritty backdrop of urban alleyways and street-side record stores. Photographer Eric James Guillemain employs a consistent monochrome palette throughout the series, leaning into high-contrast chiaroscuro and natural light to emphasize mood and skin texture. Through a documentary lens, the work relies on analogue film techniques to build a cinematic register. Hair styling by Peter Gray complements the series, maintaining a clean, textured aesthetic that anchors the subject within the urban landscape.
