Do all great things happen in NYC? Maly Blomberg moved to the Big Apple from Lima, Peru, in 2002 with only $400 in her pocket. She immediately set to work capturing wonderful renegade imagery. These two photos were created in a moment of spontaneity.

Maly, a stylist, makeup artist and one leggy model took a turn for the dark side: the cool basement of her city brownstone. While trying to move equipment through a narrow doorway to the basement below, Maly glanced down to survey the space. In that cramped environment she saw her model’s face just skimming a single ceiling bulb. “Don’t move,” she cried. “That’s perfect.” Abandoning the larger gear, she dashed down the steps with Canon 5D, a small umbrella and a Photoflex LiteDisc. Illumination was courtesy the single fluorescent light from the ceiling.

The man on the left hails from Bolivia. The right is a buddhist monk in Asia. Both images were created by E. Sapwater from his world journeys.

Gisela Prishker is a charter Renegade who shoots fashion editorial for Somos Magazine, in addition to wedding photography. She’s based in Los Angeles. This moody shot was captured last October during the Renegade Photo Shoots: NYC.
