My time in New York was mostly spent photographing the beautiful Philippa who aside from being one of my greatest friends is also my biggest muse. Her favourite painter is Edward Hopper and after seeing his work in the Met we took this image making it as painterly as possible. Part inspired by the solitude of some of the characters in Hopper's paintings the theme also makes a nod to David Lynch's 'Twin Peaks' (our favourite TV series). Breakfast that day was something special.
