Drew Barrymore For Time Out New York

Last month, Drew was featured in Time Out New York. The outtakes, which most of them are taken by Drew herself (including photos of other people, but only the ones of her have been added to the gallery), have been posted on the magazine’s official website (with the interview) and are now available in our gallery at miss-barrymore.com. Enjoy!

Drew, what was your focus for these photos?
Summer in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I love that guy and his doggie. He was just doing his thing—nothing was posed.

Was he like, “Holy shit, Drew Barrymore is taking my photo”?
He was very cool about it. He was like, “Can you e-mail me that?” [Laughs] And I was like, Oh my God, I just wanted to go back to film cameras, ’70s-old-school guy with a purple mohawk, and then the guy’s like, “Can you e-mail me?”! It was a funny moment of, oh, technology.

And who were the ladies in the lawn chairs?
I just walked by that moment, and I envied them because they seemed so happy! I asked, “Can I take your photo?” I am really respectful about taking people’s photos.

Do unto others, huh?
Yeah, it’s ironic. I do wish that was the way people treated me when it comes to photography. It’s more like, “Can you bend over? We’re about to anally probe you.” [Laughs]

Tell me about the shot of yourself in the mirror.
I was in a bathroom at the Half King. Nanette Burstein [director of Barrymore’s forthcoming Going the Distance] is one of the owners of the bar. We went to do some script stuff over cocktails there—great working environment! I loved the tiles in there and I loved the mirror, and I often think after a few cocktails you get loose and stop thinking and start feeling.

Cute bow tie.
It’s my new thing! It makes me happy. It can definitely go asshole, but it can also be a fabric smile.

Which is harder—being behind a crappy disposable camera or a big fancy director’s camera?
They are so different. But I’ve always been in love with capturing a moment. It’s a stamp. It leaves you with a punching impression, and that’s what I’m in love with.
