William Graper ‘The wild wild west’
Stylist from NYC, William Graper relocated to LA a year ago, & in the process has had to build a whole new client base & find his bearings. In the meantime, the creative genius has adopted a creative outlet to keep him sane. It is such a pleasure to feature William’s incredible ongoing self-portrait series, which sees him touring the west as often as he can, stuffing his trunk with clothes & shooting himself with an i-phone strapped to a tripod. This is about as DIY as it gets.
“Denny’s, retro dive motels & the Wild Wild West as a backdrop. It’s mostly unplanned. I hop in the car without a direction & pull over whenever the scenery inspires me, racking my brain for what I have in the trunk that might work. No need to worry about the model or entire crews & budgets. Just fun & the melting of my heart as the days fly by on the open road.”
