I met Gail in 2004 in Los Angeles for a photoshoot with Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen at the Standard Sunset Hotel. At the time, she photographed what in our professional vocabulary we call “people” and also did commercial photography. Having studied photography at the Rhode Island School of Design and later at Yale University, she also realized personal work, in the form of series that question landscape and society. Always fascinated by the work of the painter Edward Hopper, she dedicates her series Hopper Redux to him, in which she returns to the places painted by the artist.
