Michel Leroy is an entertainment and advertising photographer based out of New York. As most of you are undoubtedly aware, New York is one of the cities hardest hit by the novel coronavirus outbreak.

Most of the photography industry in New York (and around the US as well) is in a holding pattern at the moment thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. To say that we're living in interesting times right now would be quite an understatement. Creativity is what drives us as photographers. But how do you create when we're all confined within our homes and the whole world is essentially on pause? Looking to social media for inspiration, Michel stumbled upon his friend Phil Adams' recreation of Blondie's Parallel Lines album cover using found objects from around the house. This project led Michel to do a similar project with his family. For his take on the concept, Michel decided on AC/DC's classic Highway to Hell cover. With celebrity chefs and Olympic athletes amongst his subjects, Michel's produced style lends an authentic connection to these personalities. His images reveal a level of comfort and vitality shared amongst friends, and you can clearly see this on display here. . thephoblographer.com
