As of late, and largely because of our recent experimental design work, we have returned to Matisse as a composer of great imaging. Whether you look to is coloring, elements of image composition, or late minimalism, Matisse has become a great symbol, reservoir, and inspiration for our latest work. It is the line, the soft touch, the use of negative space, that leaves the lasting impression.

Ellen von Unwerth’s career has been built on pushing photography to the limits - be those limits visual or creations of taboos. Her work expresses a delightful playfulness and sensuality that demonstrates a rare comfort with the often lofty celebrities she is shooting. Following, we strive to use von Unwerth’s work as a template for our portrait photography.

Grant often says his life is a Woody Allen movie without the humor. Yes, everyone has cynical days. But the beauty of Allen’s work is that he takes that cynicism and creates beauty, humor, and honesty about the happenings of the everyday lived-world. He is the master of his narrative style, crisp film work, and side-ways view of the world. And, thusly, in his footprints we only hope to follow.
