Inspired by Andy Warhol’s Polaroids, Alisha Goldstein, who is the founder of Los Angeles creative firm Jane Smith Agency, decided to start a project called “Nice People Only,” for which she photographed friends and industry leaders whom she describes as “creatives with substance.” Such “nice people” include model Adonis Bosso and Hollywood scions and siblings including Alana Hadid, Nick Simmons, and Brandi Cyrus. “We wanted to create a platform that both featured and connected people of a similar mindset,” Goldstein explained. “Whether they are behind the scenes or in front of the camera. In our industry, being ‘nice’ is really about creating a space for collaboration. There is so much amazing talent in our industry now, that there really isn’t room for it to be any other way. At least for us. As creatives, we can be confident and strong-minded, and still be kind and have humility.” Get up close and personal with these “nice people,” here.
