Domino Photo
Mexico
"It’s all about the acting!
A photograph with people is made up by light, environment, props, models, makeup, wardrobe... but above all of those is the acting. Acting is where the essence and the life of the photograph are found. We put a lot of emphasis on directing the actors; that’s where we go all in. We need the final image to convey everything we mean, and we get to that result on set by guiding the actors toward our vision.
We commit and delve into the emotional aspect, working together to achieve what we envisioned."
