Whitney Houston

“We met through Lionel C. Martin, a prolific and talented director. I captured these images at the Met Cloisters in NYC for her music video “ My Name is not Susan”. The shots were actually used in the storyline of the music video. She was so young and passionate and full of talent. She’s made an impact on music, musicians, and entertainment as a whole. Rest in Peace Whitney Houston.”
