Stunningly Patterned Design Photography

Design Duo JUCO Blends Models with Hand Painted Walls

Creative duo Julia Galdo and Cody Cloud of JUCO literally take design photography to another level with this metamorphoses of human and background.

Using bold, bright, colorful and almost monochromatic patterns as their palette, the duo use models as part of the hand painted backgrounds they created. Known for collaborative genius work for JUCO, the duo's latest design photography series is a personal shoot of blazing colors and an artful mastering of different mediums to a create dazzling kaleidoscopic series.

Already using similar techniques for their fashion shoots and design photography series, the Los Angeles based team is likely to start a trend in which the background does not take away from the shoot but becomes part of it, even enhancing it to become almost one with the model in the frame.
