Interview: Balance Within a Frame – Larry Hirshowitz
Does being a photographer in today’s digitally driven landscape mean that authenticity has to give way to online affirmation? With each click, like, retweet, and release of dopamine; does this gratification within a digital realm equate success? What is the balance between work, gratification, and success?

Cinema in an Ad-World
Advertisements pervades every aspect of our lives. It’s the driving force behind all things entertainment, from the shorts ran between our favorite shows to the internal ads delicately or indelicately placed into films. Ads often fade into the background of our everyday, considered to be a nuisance that should be ignored and habituated to. For […]

Theatrics in Repose: Chaotic Beauty of Lucha Libre
From 2017-2019, I’ve had the good fortune to capture the beautiful chaos that is Lucha Vavoom. It felt surreal to bear witness to the high flying, testosterone fueled theatrics that used to be confined to the black box residing within the living room. Overtime I wanted to dive deeper into the world. I originally posted […]
A Distant Dream: Medellin, Colombia
Medellin Medellin feels as if it belongs to a dream. Forests sitting on top of mountainous terrain seem to go on endlessly. Traveling into the city from its outskirts, the mountains swallow up those who passthrough, with the communes cradled in the bowels of its valley. As you make the descent, the view from up […]
