A few weeks after Ned and I started talking he said “I want us to make art together”. Me, an overall pessimist anxious introvert said, quite defensively “what do you mean?”, and Ned who has a magical ability to focus on the good stuff, an amazing sense of timing and luck said” we'll figure it out”.

And that's what we've been doing ever since, whether as a short lived street art tag team, amateur tattoo artists, and most importantly through photography.

My background in in advertising and graphic design, Ned's always been a photographer, and so we found a way to use both our skills to create unique, emotional and raw images. The way we communicate while shooting helped us to develop a language that makes coming up with ideas, taking pictures, edit, retouch and produce in a very open way, and helped us immensely with communicating with crew and clients.

The way we shoot allows us to share our intimacy, honesty and vulnerability with others and express our deep beliefs in learning to love ourselves through embracing our flaws, occupying our space in the universe and getting to know ourselves with kindness and compassion.
