, Brian Cattelle

For Brian photography is an escape, a way to explore the world, studying every detail of the simple things. It gives him an opportunity to find beauty in unexpected places and in all walks of life. It forces him to challenge and push the bounds of his comfort zone, enabling him to grow as a person and as an artist. Over the years he has explored a wide range of photographic narratives while remaining loyal to his black and white roots
Brian has had a number of notable accomplishments which include a few international contests, features in publications, art shows, galleries, and large commissioned projects. These accomplishments only help fuel the fire that keeps him going.

Eve Harlowe
In 1999, while living in New York, Eve befriended a young Art History student Dana "Pookie" Hernandez , who introduced her to the formal world of Art and Photography. She became a student of many modern and classical art movements, particularly les Nabis, les Fauvism and other post-impressionistic styles. This fueled her own desire to create, and to form her own aesthetic. Juxtaposing opposites is a connecting thread in all of Eve's work. She explores and exposes the beauty and power that can be derived from contrasting perspectives and opposing points of view. Vintage Hollywood glamour finds a home in Eve's work as well. As an introverted teen, she spent much of her time getting lost in old Black & White films, imagining herself the Femme Fatal. She's never been able to shake her attraction for piercing glamour!

Valan Evers

"A man’s body. The suppleness of skin over hard muscle. Strength sheathed in soft flesh.
So very different than the yielding curves of a woman’s form. He is hardness and restraint.

And then there is the intoxicating play of light on skin.
The nuance of highlight and shadow.

Finally there is the rope.
Binding.
Wound tightly to immobilize.
To constrain his strength, to tie him down: to remind him of his true bondage: his “bondage of self.”

For you see, it is not simply physical bondage. Not just ties that limit movement... but the metaphorical ties that constrain his existence.

Bound by social convention.
Bound by expectations.
Bound by assumptions.
Bound by perceptions.
Bound by ideas of who and what he is; what is expected of a man in this society.

Is this “bondage of self” submission or safety?"

-Valan Ash Evers
