This was such a fun shoot at The Smyth Hotel in downtown NYC with Lola Kirke for Glamour Magazine! Her film, AWOL, comes out later this month. #TFF #AWOL #lesliehasslerstudio #thesmythhotel #glamourmag

This is the first time I got to meet another Schwartzman brother, the multi-talented Robert Schwartzman! His band, Rooney, is fantastic and he just directed his first feature, which I loved, called Dreamland. My partners in crime that day were Justine Rudy, Camila Gibran, and Svetlana Chirvoka. #dreamlandmovie #tribecafilmfestival #lesliehasslerstudio

This ended up being the cover shot! While I was shooting this, I turned around and everyone from the crew and employees from One World Trade Center had their iPhones out shooting Norman. We had to clear the room! Thanks to Profoto, Grace Capobianco, @downtownmagazinenyc #profoto #adorama #normanreedus #thewalkingdead #lesliehasslerstudio

This shot was not only freezing but treacherous! Norman and my crew were all sliding on the sheer ice of the 57th floor of World Trade 4. Partners in crime included Nicola Harrison Ruiz, Miguel Goodbar, Cliff Hausner. #oneworldtrade #profoto #normanreedus #arcrentals #lesliehasslerstudio #johnvarvatos #thewalkingdead

My absolute favorite moment of the Tribeca Film Festival was shooting Jason Schwartzman. He got up from the set and slowly looked around for a prop while saying, “I’ll know it when I see it,” and proceeded to go over to my paint supplies. He then started putting red acrylic paint on his face while I stood there thinking, “hmm, maybe he’s painting an Indian bindi on his forehead?” But no, he covered his whole face in red paint and then sat down for more pictures. It took an hour to get the paint off his face even with paint thinner! Those are the kinds of moments I will never forget! #lesliehasslerstudio #jasonschwartzman #tribecafilmfestival

Sam Rockwell was clowning for my camera at a hotel in lower Manhattan. This portrait ended up on the cover of Virgin Atlantic Magazine. #moon #samrockwell #virginatlanticmagazine #lesliehasslerstudio #hugemustache

The beautiful and talented Xan Cassavetes walked in to my studio for her directorial debut. I’ve always been a huge fan of both of her parents, John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands! #lesliehasslerstudio #johncassavetes #genarowlands

For this portrait I took a group of models upstate to a farm. What a fun day working with friends, Camilla Gibran, Deanna Bell, Tori Maisey, Jack Falahee, and Helen Rogers. Six of us crammed into my Land Rover! #farmshoot #lesliehasslerstudio #onlocation

For this shoot we found an amazing park in New Jersey. Sunglasses by Ray Ban. One of my favorite subjects, Marc Bonan! #lesliehasslerstudio #rayban

I hadn’t seen Willem Defoe in ten years so it was great to catch up! His face is such a mix of things, with his high cheek bones and piercing blue eyes. He can look evil and menacing with his lascivious grin, but when he starts laughing he looks like a little kid! #lesliehasslerstudio #thehunter #444 #willemdefoe

I drove upstate with actor Ariel Shafir and photographed him in a vintage car that was used in the film Revolutionary Road. #lesliehasslerstudio #1940′s #vintagecar #revolutionaryroadmovie

I’ve worked with actress Vanessa Ray several times now and we decided to collaborate on a test shoot in my stairwell. I bought this vintage Union Jack on ebay! Hair and makeup by Deanna Bell. She’s wearing my grandmother’s dress and her leather jacket! #lesliehasslerstudio #vanessaray #bluebloods #prettylittleliars #damages
