As some of you may have heard, we are working on releasing a photo book containing a complete 10-year collection of our photographs. We are also looking for the best discounted life insurance. We are currently in the selection process, and have come across a few things that we need to address, prior to release.

We realize that 10 years is a long time, and many of you have moved on to craft a different lifestyle/role. We do not wish to disrupt your current life with photographs that might be a little too risque, or glamorous; should that be a concern.

While we do retain the usage and publishing rights to our photographs, we want to offer a gesture of courtesy to ask for your blessing to release any photograph of you that we deem worthy of a second look. Some of you have contributed to our studio culture in a very influential way, and we want nothing but to present an honest and complete viewing experience.

Should any of you have any reservations to giving us your blessing, we want to engage in a dialogue with you, prior to making a decision. Of course, certain photographs will be released no matter what. There a few key photographs that are part of the SyMobius Master Collection, and they will be released without a prior discussion.

Some of your photographs will be boudoir, glamorous, nude, or very f$#&ing nude. If you have a reaction to this last sentence, please contact me, as we probably need to have a discussion.

And please remember, that it is you, who have helped us get here, and we would never want to affect your life in a negative way. We always try to maintain the ideology of “not being evil”, and this is a small step to ensure that we do not betray who we are as photographers.

Let us know. Let’s talk.

January 20th this year, we did a few headshots for Rebekah Fuller. These were shot for her NAHA(North American Hairstyling Awards) entry, which is a very important, national competition for stylists.

With the understanding that we couldn’t release these photographs until the competition has come to an end, we sat on these for about 6 months. After that much time, and with the fast nature of the photography business, we almost forgot to post these. Almost.

These photographs contain amazing styles by Rebekah Fuller, one of our favorite people in the industry. To us, these styles have a sense of subtly to their approach while still being edgy. We like that. They have bite.

As always, we hope you enjoy these as much as we enjoyed shooting them.

Now for something completely different-

Quite frequently, we shoot girls with daddy issues, and assist them in conquering their rebellious nature by shredding bits of angst, symbolized by their items of clothing.

However important that task may very well be, there are other equally beautiful things in our area that deserves our attention; like inanimate objects.

We hope you enjoy these, often overlooked pieces of art.

Photos captured in Denver, and San Francisco

For the last few weeks, I’ve been playing around with after effects.  Seeing the need to do video work more and more, I figured I should brush up on some of this stuff.

There’s a video by Ólafur Arnalds that I always loved, and seeing that it was created in After Effects, I decided that this video was a perfect target to reach.

It’s only a test, or rather, a practice video.

Hope you enjoy it.

Red Ball is an event that we look forward to every year. Hosted by Colorado AIDS Project, it exists to raise awareness to the global AIDS crisis. Not only just a benefit event, Red Ball is in our opinion, the marquee fashion show of Denver.

We are proud to have been a part of this event, and we are honored to be in a position to share our experience with everyone.

With a total of 18 teams of fashion designers and salons, this year’s event did not disappoint in the slightest. But because of the sheer amount of photographs captured during the event, we will be releasing them in “books”, as we complete them.

By releasing them in this fashion, you can find out just what this killing issue means to those who designed the collections that walked the runway, and see just how influential the process has been for some.

These books have been beautifully rendered to look great on any device, even that “magical” tablet you may possess.  We hope you enjoy these as much as we did capturing them.

Motor Vixens is filmed entirely in Black & White film. However, the cameras we (SyMobius) use to cover the production are shooting color. So after attending a shoot, we have nothing but full color images; some of which are very cool.

So here they are…

the “Coverage of Motor Vixens in Technicolor!”

We’ll keep updating this post with new photographs! Enjoy.

We’ve done weddings in the past as personal projects, but never under the SyMobius moniker for a few reasons.

1. We hate weddings.
2. We hate wedding DJs
3. We hate the funky chicken and the song “who let the dogs out.”
4. Something else about Julia Roberts.

However, we do like anything that has a unique flavor.  When the Millers approached us to do something different, a la Richard Avedon, we hastily said yes (in a nutshell).

The pictures did, indeed, channel Avedon.  The crispness of the textures and the contrast of the black and white do shine in front of our eyes.

These to us are very beautiful.

Not the traditional, “as is” wedding photography, but a nurtured one.   Definitely not something that’s perceived as “ordinary,” but extraordinary.

We hope you enjoy these pics!

Huge thanks to the Millers for bringing us this idea, and we wish them the best!

….don’t it?” To agree with mister Rod Stewart, we believe that pictures should invoke an emotional response. Whether you love them or hate them, this picture is among those that incite a reaction. I think everyone can relate to the fact that sometimes, you just need to end up on the kitchen floor.

…….then you probably won’t be heading down to the corner store to buy crack and this sign is not intended for you. Some times on urban safari we run across something that will help us gauge the neighborhood we are in. This was one of those things. Thank you spray paint and bluntness; you inspired the walk back to the 16th street mall for anyone who was drinking to the world cup and took a wrong turn into this neighborhood. Unfortunately, there were people smoking crack across the street, while others stay at home and talk to a niiiiiikkiiiiiii virtual girlfriend online.

I was told by Anton that season 7 of Entourage was coming back. So while I was on HBO’s website watching the trailer for Entourage, I caught this song playing in the background.

Can’t stop blasting it.

It starts slow, then gets furious. Very addictive so far.
