About

This is what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again, and again, and again. Let me prove it to you.
— Walt Disney

Through our art we seek to create fine art surreal photographs showing the strength of the individual, to allow the viewer to look deep within oneself and make a connection with their own experiences and struggles.

Our photographs allow us to share the stories and struggles of the subjects we encounter and reveal their inner strengths. Using non-traditional models allows us to utilize those individuals typically who feel they are overlooked by society. Conversations across a range of topics; loss, doubt, self-worth, addiction, injury, illness, and depression result in the development of image ideas. Stories sometimes so personal they have been shared with trust to maintain anonymity.

Using real-world locations and props to create gateways into surreal worlds. From abandoned train stations to old grain silos no place is off limits to create beautiful story filled images. We seek to create artwork that produce visceral reactions for viewers. Some images are quiet while others almost create a frenzy for the observer. We hope that viewers will question the “why” and “what” regarding images to create dialogue among others who interpret the images differently
