Take 5 with Logan Polish

season 1, episode 1

TAKE 5 is going to be an ongoing series where I photograph and interview inspiring friends and creatives to see if I can take some pretty portraits and get them to say strange things.

Logan Polish is an actress, writer, director, model, painter, and human who completed The Artists Way while still in the womb. She lives in New York City, was raised in Los Angeles, and was most recently on Apple TV’s The Mosquito Coast. Let’s get to know Logan more. The photos were taken on a recent walk through the hills surrounding Malibu, CA.

JIMMY: Logan, when looking at your Instagram feed, the first thing I notice is you are a natural curator. Part of your charm is your elevated taste. I’m curious to know what’s one thing that you aesthetically or emotionally absolutely love, that most people would assume you’d be repulsed by?  

LOGAN: Formula one.

JIMMY: Follow up question, what aesthetic are you in fact actually repulsed by? Either visually or emotionally.

LOGAN: Low rise jeans. It makes me question why we were put on the planet… 

JIMMY: Continuing with the repulsion theme, you recently relocated to New York City. I find New York to be an overwhelming experience of dirt and peril, yet it’s full of the most unexpected, beautiful moments. What was one of the first heart-stopping moments of beauty you first saw in New York? 

LOGAN: Pigeons fighting over a slice of joe’s pizza. 

JIMMY: Who’s the greatest poet in the world that’s not a poet? 

LOGAN: “I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar. I am the son and heir of the nothing in particular.”

- Morrissey.  How Soon is Now

JIMMY: Give me a stream of conscious first gut reaction to the following words:

LOGAN:

Chew: Bacca

Spur: of the moment

Outtie: bellybutton 

Germaphobe: covid

Calypso: the cat
