Just As You Were
Thursday, February 24th, 2011My Favorite Miami Photographer Jipsy (aka Nefarious Girl) has an upcoming show of her AMAZING PHOTOS, if you’re in the hood… You should really go see it!!! I love being her muse!!
“Miami-based photographer Jipsy will celebrate the opening of her first solo show, Just As You Were, on Tuesday, March 8 at 7:00 pm at Butter Gallery. The exhibit will remain on view through April 2, free and open to the public by appointment. Just As You Were was curated from thousands of photographs taken by Jipsy herself from 2005 to the present. As a photo journalist she has documented hundreds of events and nightclubs such as The District, PS 14, Pawn Shop, Space and Vagabond since arriving to Miami in 1996. For this her first photo exhibition, the now prominent figure in the Miami nightlife will fill the walls with local and international personalities (Patricia Fields, Alejandro Calvani, Aimee Phillips, Lara Coppola Estefan, Joey Arias, Ladyfag, Heatherette, Julliette Lewis, Santigold, Ave D, The Sounds, The Bravery) portrayed just as they were.
“When it comes to why I love documenting the night life I have to say it’s all about ‘the party’. The characters; the fashion; the music; the debauchery. There’s another side of Miami nightlife that the glossy magazines don’t always show. I gravitate to the people who dress up in their own style and are usually not in the VIP. Most of the time these are the people who stood on line, paid their entrance and came to dance without any intention of being in front of the camera. Add them to the mix of great musicand a beautifully lit club, and its magic. I want to bring that feeling to the viewer.” says Jipsy.
Jipsy has been featured in countless publications including MIAMI Magazine, Ocean Drive, Miami New Times, The SunPost, WWD, Spin, Map, Black Book and Inked.”
