Artist Statement:
We conceived of this collaboration in late 2023 as we began shooting self-portraits together, merging our backgrounds as performers and visual artists. The idea was to shoot weekly for all of 2024, sharing our progress along the way with our friends and fans. Utilizing both our complementary as well as contrasting aesthetics, we challenged ourselves to continually find new locations, concepts, props, poses, and camera/lighting techniques, while focusing on our two bodies in the shots. This exhibition represents a small selection of the yearlong project showcasing our creative range within the realm of figurative photography. All photos were shot on Canon R7.
