Remembering David Armstrong, Through Pictures

This week, the world lost a wonderful person, and on top of that, a wonderful photographer. The Opening Ceremony family wanted to remember a special moment we shared with David Armstrong back in 2010, when he captured an intimate group of sitters for Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony: Reds, shot on location at his townhouse in Brooklyn. What resulted was a stunning showcase of romantic, contemplative portraits—David's forte—which friend Ryan McGinley once likened to Vermeer, with this sense of breathtaking "desire and despair." David will be missed, but the world is left with beautiful memories, and of course, photographs. R.I.P.
