Apple of My Eye

photos & words By Kevin Alexander 

Lately, I've been finding myself inspired by other artists.. About a year ago, I met Ayane Kurai and Emanuel Ruffler and we became friends almost instantly. We share a lot of commonalities and as our friendship developed, I knew that I wanted to photograph the whole family with their beautiful Brooklyn home as the setting. Apple of My Eye portrays their story as an immigrant family working and living as creatives in the heart of Bushwick. It is a family tree story passing along individuality, arts, culture, and knowledge to their children.
