A few weeks ago, Niki and I received an email notifying us that Odalisque [After Ingres] from the Muse series, was selected as the first place winner of the Soho Photo Gallery National Photography Competition. Full of giddiness and disbelief, we booked a hotel and flights to NYC for the opening reception. More gratifying than the award though, is that our piece is part of a greater conversation on expanding language and notions on gender.

During photo shoots bloopers are bound to occur, especially while wearing six-inch heels. This weekend, while Niki and I were in the studio documenting costumes, we happened upon a few such moments. True to form, our process would not have been complete had we not cracked each other up and interrupted the shoot with spontaneous fits of laughter. We had a great time goofing off, camping it up and nearly falling over. Amidst it all we found some fabulous shots that we’re currently editing and will post soon. For now, we invite you to have a grin at a few of our lighter moments. Enjoy!
