Designing and building this set for our fine art nude photoshoot was a crazy rollercoaster ride of emotions! It was one of those projects that had us feeling all sorts of self-doubt, but we pushed through and made some design changes to bring our vision to life. Our set was periwinkle blue and contained elements of forced perspective and optical illusions. We wanted to create a space that wa...

Have you ever noticed how much of an impact our words can have on our lives? The way we talk to ourselves and the thoughts we think can actually shape our reality. That's where affirmations come in - they're like these powerful little phrases that you can repeat or write down in a journal to help you shift your mindset and feel more positive about yourself. It might seem like a small th...

It's a fine line, but what's the real difference between "inspired by" and "copied"? When you're just starting out, it's totally normal to look up to the masters in your field and use their work as inspiration for your own. As an artist, you probably spend a ton of time exploring different art forms, soaking up new ideas, and searching for that next big spark of inspiration. There's nothing...

David challenged me to shoot portraits on the Canon EOS-1N RS and Portra 400 color film. I'll be attempting to capture some outdoor portraits with this classic camera from 1994. See what I learned and get a glimpse of the final results.                        Any suggestions on what camera David s...

For this camera challenge, I shot with the Canon A1. This camera made its debut in 1978, so I wanted to stay true to that time period with the photos I took. I photographed this shoot with Ilford Hp5 high-grain black and white film.  Our model, Hannah, channeled some Penny Lane vibes and really brought these portraits to life. These photos were shot mid-day with partly cloudy/bright sun...

This is our trippiest photoshoot yet! We’ve seen people jumping onto the mylar trend in photography right now. We love the metallic effects it creates, but we wanted to put our own spin on this hot photography trend. SO, we built an entire set out of metallic silver spandex! We have never used fabric in a set before, so this was an entirely new approach for us. To make things even more...

We set out to create a conceptual photoshoot that was otherworldly, and built a conceptual set to feel like an alien womb. Pretty weird right? Well, just wait until you see how crazy the poses in this photo shoot get. This is officially our SMALLEST SET EVER. A human can barely fit inside of it, but just wait until you see the wild poses our model was able to do. Watch to see us light the shoot a...

This week’s camera challenge involved the Diana Instant Camera! Yes, INSTANT CAMERA. The challenge was to take portrait photos of an artist in her studio. I wasn’t sure what to expect - would this be insanely easy OR really hard?! I’d taken snapshots on an instant camera before, but never tried to capture professional looking images on a TOY CAMERA.     When using ...
