Not every client will be your dream client—and that’s okay. We all know that. But sometimes, you’ll run into clients who are, well, “difficult.” So how do you handle it when you're photographing someone like that? "Difficult" can mean different things to different people, but here I’m talking about clients who are rude, disrespectful, or hard to work with durin...

We built coffins for Kevin Smith and Harley Quinn Smith for a photoshoot that was equal parts spooky and cartoony. The color palette was black and red to give it a dramatic, bold vibe. Our goal with the coffins was to make them look almost hand-drawn. We went oversized with them to enhance the playful, cartoonish feel, and David used uneven, dramatic angles to really give them that quirky, an...

Kevin Smith and Harley Quinn Smith just dropped a new podcast called Beardless, D*ckless Me, and we had the chance to shoot the cover art for it! We flew out to Los Angeles back in May for the shoot and had such a blast working with them both. Their podcast is out now, so definitely check it out! Something unexpected happened though. We were watching Kevin Smith on Late Night with Seth ...

We love creating sets in all shapes and sizes, constantly pushing the boundaries of what a set can be. How small can you make it? How big? Recently, we got our hands on some exciting new gear: an xTool S1 laser cutter, Aputure Infinibars, and the Aputure 600C. Naturally, we had to put all these cool tools to work in one shoot! David has been using a CNC machine for a while to create many of our ...

But on the other, it can be incredibly overwhelming, especially if you approach it with the wrong mindset. If you’re feeling frustrated by a lack of engagement or reach, it’s worth asking yourself: Is your negative attitude toward social med...

There’s something special about unboxing new gear, especially when it’s something like the RODE Wireless PRO. We needed a mic system that could keep up with our creative projects, and this little powerhouse quickly became a favorite. I’m especially excited to upgrade our audio for the new courses we’ll be launching on our Gumroad page soon, and the fact that it connects sea...

 David and I have been wanting to do a shoot with Jade Catta-Preta for a while, and somehow the stars aligned and we were able to make it happen! Jade Catta-Preta is a Brazilian-born comic and actress working in Los Angeles, New York, and Brazil. Prior to the pandemic, Jade hosted the iconic E! Network show, The Soup, and is now the host of Hulu’s brand new hit dating show, Hottie...

Sometimes you decide to do something and don’t realize it’s the thing that will change your entire life. That’s what the 100 Set Project was for us. We wanted to push our creativity and see what we could create. We had no idea this silly project we came up with would not only permanently change us and our work, but it would also inspire other people to start their own creative jo...
