A FEW MINUTES WITH…BACKYARD BILL
Test User • 11.20.2009 • CULTURE
Born in London, William Gentle (AKA Backyard Bill) moved to New York in 2006. Shooting for various fashion magazines, Gentle wanted to start a personal side project that had more instant gratification. He launched “Backyard Bill” as a way to showcase individuals that he found both stylish and intriguing.
Gentle has a standard format to his blog - shooting his subjects and then asking them all a series of 6 questions (as well as their favorite links).
I switched the table on Gentle - had him fill out his standard questionnaire, and had him select a collection of his photographs that collectively, sum up the Backyard Bill aesthetic.
