Marianna Rothen is an artist/photographer. Some of her work can be found at www.MariannaRothen.com. Urs Hirschbiegel, her partner, is an assistant director. Some of his work can be found here. Shot at their loft in Manhattan.
This is obviously a very cool couple. What really drives it home for me, though, is the shot of her taking the long, loving drag on the cigarette. It’s like a giant Fuck You to Mayor Bloomberg and his Gestapo sanitization/Disneyfication of this city. Not everything has to be like 42nd St, and I, for one, applaud this couple for living a bit on the edge. That’s a great de la Vega piece, too – probably one of my favorites.

Marvin,
Great call. Love the way they live. One couple I envy.

These photographs are beautiful.
I love the contrast between the Urs and Marianna.
Marianna belongs in the film Picnic at hanging rock.
My favorite photograph is the alter ontop of the radio.
My Grandmother used to do this in her house, plastic flowers, figurines, angels and all.
Thanks for the comment. I love to hear what people are attracted to. Marianna is such a great subject. I want to shoot her again.
One of the coolest couple I know though.

ok with white, but sometimes get an hospital feeling
Thanks for the post
A lovely study in white. Only couples with no children dare surround themselves with white. Beautiful photos.
So true. Once upon a time my loft had a similar feel.
