“Date night with ,” DeVitto wrote in her Instagram post sharing a snapshot with Squerciati from the theater. This week, Chicago PD star Marina Squerciati and former Chicago Med star Torrey DeVitto enjoyed a night out on the town together for a fun “date night.” DeVitto and Squerciati made their way to the Chicago Theatre District to enjoy Broadway In Chicago’s presentation of Tina: The Musical. From throwback photos to pregnancy announcements, there is a lot that has unfolded across the last few weeks in the One Chicago social media bubble including an unexpected date night between a pair of stars from the franchise. ![]() I'm not.ĭD: How did your participation at Nixon Art Mosh come about? What are you most excited about in the expo?īrett Walker: I got involved with Nixon Art Mosh via my agent Paddy Barstow, he said if I didn't show my work in Munich he would tell the police about a series of murders I committed in the late 70s so of course I said I would be delighted I'm a huge fan of Richie Culver and Miriam Elia, and with Nixon pulling the party strings what's not to be excited about?īrett Walker: 2012 is looking like a busy year, I'm working on a book due in the late summer, a couple of shows and a short film about a family of albino barbers in war torn central Africa who are fighting back at local which doctors keen to harvest their organs, by sporting vicious hair cuts.The One Chicago shows might be on a hiatus, but the stars of the hit series have given fans plenty to talk about on social media during the show’s multi-week hiatus. Do you think a photo can do that?īrett Walker: They had their land, culture, traditions and lives stolen long before photography, it seems a bit late in the day now to be bitching about cameras, if photography could steal souls I would be a very rich man now. I only shoot a handful of frames and the money shot is usually in the first two or three before they put on their camera face.ĭD: Native Americans and Australian aborigines don't like to have their picture taken because they believe it can steal one's soul. I only shoot a handful of frames and the money shot is usually in the first two or three before they put on their camera faceĭD: Who are the people in your photographs, how do you approach them and how do you get their emotions out?īrett Walker: The people in my photographs generally come from my neighbourhood in London, Ladbrooke Grove generally, I just ask them to pose and if that won't work I bribe them, beyond that threats of violence are the only way. A photographer I knew needed someone to brush his studio floor, it all started there really, initially I was inspired by the usual suspects, William Klein, Weegee, Man Ray, then I found that amateur photography snapshots, family albums, pictures taken by people who knew nothing about what makes a camera work and had no interest in the traditionally accepted rules of composition excited me more than anything else and that's still the case today. I don't want to say anything with my work the idea is that the images say what's needed, but people who see it are more than welcome to say whatever they feel fit.ĭD: How did you get into photography and who or what influenced your work?īrett Walker: I got into photography by accident when I couldn't find work as a teenager. and a series of murders in the late 70s.ĭazed Digital: Tell us more about yourself: who are you and what do you want to say with your work?īrett Walker: I'm a British photographer working out of London. When participating in last weekend's Nixon Art Mosh, a two-night art expo in the beating heart of Germany's creative centre, Munich, we spoke to the photographer about what makes him tick, uncovering his inspirations, aspirations. The people in my photographs generally come from my neighbourhood in London, Ladbrooke Grove generally, I just ask them to pose and if that won't work I bribe them, beyond that threats of violence are the only way Walker's densely contrasted and probing lens interferes with the mundane to give you images of people that are strangely familiar, strong, fiercely real, yet somehow detached, as if they were living double lives and keeping secrets. It's like you know these people, you know these streets, yet you don’t.They're all fromn Brett’s local neighborhood but they might just as well walk down your own street. ![]() ![]() When its left hook hits you in full force, it leaves you disoriented visual stories from the people and places he photographs flashes in your head. There’s a strong punch of raw emotion that seperates Brett Walker’s body of work from his contemporaries.
