Summer Art Fridays: Photographer Cheyne Gallarde
With the help of his studio, Firebird Photography, Hawaii-based photographer Cheyne Gallarde creates poppy fashion shoots and elegantly retro photographs that bring to mind decades long past. That all-is-good vibe, plus the boundless sunshine of the photo above, is why we chose him for Summer Fridays this week.
Describe the piece you submitted to Summer Fridays.
This was a fashion editorial for the vintage boutique CLOTH, which carried unique re-thrifted vintage items. The store itself no longer exists, but the photo (which has appeared in several magazines since then) has become very iconic and synonymous with me.

On Saturday, Francophiles everywhere celebrated Bastille Day, France’s national holiday. It commemorates the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789, a fortress-prison in the center of Paris that represented royal authority. The Bastille’s fall was the flashpoint of the French Revolution.
Bastille Day festivities include a fireworks display at the Eiffel Tour and the oldest and largest regular military parade in Europe, held on the Champs-Élysées.
