Back in December, photographer Patrick Kehoe and I shot a portrait and video interview of 84 year old activist Dorli Rainey for The Gaurdian (UK) Weekend Magazine. In the video, Dorli talks about the circumstances which led to being pepper sprayed in the face by a police officer during the Occupy Seattle protest. Below is a shocking photo by Joshua Trujillo for the Seattle PI, moments after Dorli was doused with milk to counter the effects of the spray.

Makeup side note: During the shoot, Dorli had a terrible black eye. Special thanks to Bobbi Brown’s BBU palette which helped conceal the deep bruise, you’d never know there was anything there when you see the video footage!

There’s nothing more inspiring than working along side one of the best photographers in the world and a visionary entrepreneur who’s changing the way that we shop online. I had the pleasure working with NY photographer Nigel Parry, stylist Alvin Stillwell, and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos for the cover of WIRED Magazine. The feature coincides with the launch of Amazon’s new Kindle Fire.
