Freeing yourself from something that is no longer serving your best interests is one of the most powerful and painful things we can do as humans. We set out to encapsulate that struggle and process in a series of images. We designed a set to reference a dressing room and used an 80s floral dress to represent the thing our model was trying to free herself from. I wanted to extract some b...

Creating a conceptual photoshoot can seem like a very daunting task. How do I make a photo "conceptual"? The key is to avoid overthinking. Here's how David and I go about planning a conceptual photoshoot. First, let's make sure we understand what conceptual photography is. What is conceptual photography?

Why sign a long-term lease on one photo studio when you can choose from thousands?! For six years, David and I had our own photo studio. It was nice to have a place of our own, but it also came with a ton of added expenses. In addition to high monthly rent, we also had to pay for internet, utilities, furnishings, and insurance.

We received the exciting news that our photos would be exhibited at the Spectrum Art Fair during Art Basel and Miami Art Week. The only catch was that we only had one week to build four frames, print our work, and ship it to Miami. Watch as we try to beat the clock to build our frames in time to meet our deadline! And adventure to Miami with us to see our reactions when we see our work hang in the...

Last year, David and I went to Miami for Art Basel and Miami art week for fun. We had no idea what to expect, we just knew it was a cool thing that artists did - so we went. Our minds were blown by the sheer amount of art we saw. We saw art that questioned us, inspired us, and confused us. It set our imaginations on fire. I think that was when I really knew I wanted to be considered an artist...
