Thaddeus and Rusty met at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
while both were working as photographers on the yearbook.
Since then they've sparked each other's creative muses
while photographing the world with decidedly different visions!

After college, they moved to Munich, where Thaddeus had studied as an
exchange student. Rusty had lived in Germany as a teen and was eager to return.
While living in Europe, the two created a body of fine art photography
which was exhibited in Germany and Italy, and in galleries upon their return to America.
They then turned their attention to the hyper-real world of advertising photography,
with Thaddeus behind camera and Rusty serving as studio manager and stylist.
In the high-demand arena of national advertising they honed professional lighting techniques,
shooting in studio, lighting on location, and frequently casting print talent with their clients.

Now having been in New York for ten years, Thaddeus and Rusty are proud of

the many actors they have photographed who maintain active careers on the stages of

New York and elsewhere; as well as in films, commercials, and television shows.
