Duration: Five months.
Staff/Size: Just me.
Education: BA in Advertising Photography from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco.
Cultural Influences: Movies, fashion, the moving landscape outside my car window, fashion, pop culture, TV commercials (the really clever ones), lots of photography of all kinds, the sky, wind, bad weather, Mark Rothko.
Environment: I have a tiny office the size of a small bathroom, but it has everything I need and a window with a view, so I’m happy. When I’m shooting, I could be anywhere. I really like that variety.
Philosophy: Photography is just a means to interact and experience the world. It keeps me present in life instead of stuck in my head. The truth and falseness of pictures intrigues me.
Gina and Matt of the aptly-named Philadelphia-based illustration duo Gina & Matt exchange ideas.
