We are passionate about bringing a relaxed approach while creating beautiful, natural and vibrant images.
“What kind of difference do you want to make in the world?”
“Make people happy.”
“How you gonna do that?”
“I don’t know, still figuring it out.”
“How do you make yourself happy?”
“Spending time with people I love…and food…and travel.”
“What brings you joy?”
“People who are unapologetic bring me joy. Being able to celebrate their true selves and not wanting to assimilate into what people’s expectations of them are. The black community brings me joy. There’s a global diaspora of people who look like me and can identify with similar lived experiences and I can go anywhere in the world and find some black people.”
“Music and food are my two big passions. Outside of just being with people. Food and cooking and eating are passions in my family. I just enjoy turning simple ingredients into a whole meal for all the senses really. Since I love cooking a friend told me about Josephine. I’m new in town so meeting new neighbors and getting plugged in is important to me. If we’re removed from where we are and who we’re living around it can be a pretty lonely experience. So Josephine was a bridge to not feeling isolated and getting to know people while doing something I love."

“After being a nanny for 20 years my brother asked me if I’d want to take care of my two nieces so I said 'yeah' and moved across the country to help out. My nieces and I had a blast dancing, playing make-believe, and using our imagination, but unfortunately, his wife and I didn’t really seem to connect. She basically told me I had to get out. She kicked me out and I ran out of money and had nowhere to go. I found a homeless shelter but it was really for people that had been abused or were addicted to drugs and alcohol. There were kind enough to let me in.”
“There were a lot of responsibilities associated with the shelter. You had to do cleaning and community service, you had to get a part-time job and save 90% of your money. I had been diagnosed with PTSD and it got too overwhelming for me. I started feeling ugly and I found these poems I could relate to. Things like, ‘You don’t die from suicide, you die from sadness’. I wanted to get rid of the ugliness so I left the shelter, took the money I saved, got a hotel, and took a bunch of pills. I didn’t want to be me anymore. I was walking around the street that night a gal saw me and said, ‘Is this your first night on the street?’. I told her it was but I was getting really tired because I had already taken the pills. She asked if everything was okay and if she could stay and pray with me. She gave me her sweatshirts. I told her I took some pills and she called 911. I was in the hospital 3 days. Then I went into a mental hospital for a couple weeks. It was hard after that because I didn’t feel connected and the only way for me to survive is to be connected to something.”

"What's your dream for 2018?"
"No idea, probably should figure it out...well I miss acting. If I could get anything it would be landing a pilot. The happiest I've ever been was when I almost landed a pilot."
“What’s one thing you’ve learned from him?”
“He taught me the deep power of patience, and allowance, and trust. The power of being present to somebody to allow them to express themselves and be who they are.”
“The last few days there’s been a spike in the shamanic resonance. The earth is constantly raising its vibration so it’s working on us too. Right now it’s more of the lower chakras, more of the eat, sleep, take care of yourself vibes. Slowing down is helping me to look at all parts of me and it’s like, ‘Accept these things too, the shadow self and all of it’.” (2/2)
“What’s one of you favorite things about her?”
Her - “He’s a weirdo with google docs. He had a google doc to plan out his diet. He’s very calculated…like this thing we were just talking about. Can I share this-“
Him - “No-“
Her - “Ok, he’s very practical and blunt about his level of rationality.”
Him - “I will accept all those things.”
“And you?”
Him - “Nisha has a charisma to her that’s really infectious. Being around her is revitalizing.”
"When things get uncomfortable, vulnerable, or I feel out of control, my instinct is to run. I recently found my soulmate and I can't run from him. He triggers the shit out of me and staying in the discomfort has been some of my deepest work lately. My relationship has definitely been a beautiful and forgiving playground to work on that flight response. Not sure if I'll ever shake it or if it gets to be part of my journey all the way through."
"My greatest triumph is learning to befriend and love myself. For years I experienced the opposite from not just myself, but others. Learning to love myself and be my own friend set the tone for who was brought into my life and how I was treated by them."
“How does Oren makes you a better person?”
“He encourages me more than anyone to be my truth and to be fully embodied in that. There’s been a pattern with me where I kind of compromise myself and he supports me to identify and be my essence. To own my no. He sees me in my highest. In his reflection, I can see who I actually am.”
“What’s one of your favorite things about her?”
“She’s always down to do anything! She’s been my best friend since I was 12!”

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams

"I'm sorry that happened and wish you the best of luck. You seem to have a sense of calm about it though. You got any wisdom for a young man?"
"Yes, I do. Be good. If you can't be good, be good at it. Keep a cool tool. Don't let your meat loaf. Don't let your eye ball. And anything you enter into, before you enter into it, close your eyes and say 'Lord, let your will be done', and you can't ever go wrong. Cause He ain't gon let you go wrong. He's gon watch over you at all times. God is good at all times. If you put your trust in him there's not anything in the world you can't accomplish. I got a little prayer I say in the morning Dijon, I say 'Lord, let your will be done.' When I get ready to go to bed I say, "Lord, thank you for helping me make it through this day. If I did anything that wasn't your will. Forgive me.' Immediately I'm forgiven. Whatever I done is thrown into the sea of forgetfulness never to be remembered. I might remember, but the one who matters doesn't."

“My parents always told me I could be anything I want to be and they should know I listened. I always keep pushing and I’m so grateful for their support. I have an adventurous spirit and right now I don’t have specific goals, I’m just continuing the exploration of life even if I am doing that by myself."
“Are you interested in partnership?”
“I am but I’ve done little to no dating in San Francisco.”
“By choice?”
“Mostly by choice. I’ve really focused on myself and being happy on my own, and on cultivating friendships. That has turned out to be a really amazing choice for me because I realized before I was single, but I wasn’t always happy being single. For the first time I truly focused on being happy being single. Once I was truly happy it really opened the door to friendships and even potential dating partners that came into my life without me even trying.”
