A good photo/video is a piece of visual content thatʼs created specifically for someone you know and love. Itʼs the inside scoop, something pulled straight from the group chat, from the 1:1 debriefs. Photos/Videos are not passive or performative, theyʼre real-time communication that happens between people through video, images, lenses, and other creative tools to help connect friends and family with the moments that matter to them.
