BEYOND BOG STANDARD
Shooting actress Shamikah Martinez for our New York feature (p46), photographer Lottie Davies discovered the ‘best toilet in Brooklyn’. They met at the House of Yes, a brightly painted building in graffiti-covered East Williamsburg. Shamikah told Lottie: ‘You must see the bathrooms, they’re my favourite toilets in Brooklyn.’
The photographer recalls: ‘I wasn’t expecting that. Most people don’t suggest posing in a cubicle! I was blown away – they were gold, sparkly and brilliantly insane.’ Each stall was decorated differently with sequins, glitter, mirrors and beads. ‘I felt like I was like going into a burlesque performance space, not a loo,’ says Lottie.
