Black Dome Press publishes Nora Scarlett’s photo collection Trunks of the Gunks

Nora Scarlett, a serious studio photographer whose portfolio includes work as an assistant to the great Irving Penn and several major advertising agency assignments, is now based in New Paltz. While on a hike in the Shawangunks more than a decade ago, she writes, “I was captivated by a tree that appeared to be kissing a boulder.” That was the inspiration for Scarlett’s first serious departure from studio work: a series of large-format photos that she called “Trunks of the Gunks.”
