Photographed in the early Spring of 2012 in New York City, the images that populate her debut book Coney Island not only capture a young Julia Nobis amidst the idiosyncratic surrounds of the beachside Brooklyn neighbourhood from which the book its title, but burrow somewhere deeper into model photographer's mutual disposition and spirit. Among these concise, intimate and playful portraits, images of lush blossoms circulate. The allegory is clear. At this most pivotal moment for Nobis - then on the cusp of international fashion stardom - we don't simply observe her transition from an aloof distance. Instead, Parsons ensures we wander with her.-Publisher's website.
