Description
Ransom & Mitchell’s visually stunning photo illustrations are informed by professional backgrounds in the filmmaking world. Their love of the Masters comes through in their evocative narratives & modeled light, catching viewers in a web of tension, voyeurs to a moment of captured vulnerability.“At the end of the day, we strive to create portraits that are deeply heartfelt and meaningful,” says Ransom. “It has been an extraordinarily rewarding and stimulating exercise to be able to collaborate with other creatives who were willing to throw inhibitions out the window and embrace the true nature of story telling.”

About Ransom & Mitchell
Ransom & Mitchell is the artistic nom de plume of director-photographer Jason Mitchell and his partner both in business and in life, set designer-photo illustrator, Stacey Ransom. The duo met in San Francisco in 1999 while pursuing their respective careers and first began working together on films in 2004. In 2009, they opened Purebred, a still + motion production company, where in addition to creating commercial media, they use their filmmaking background to create their highly-stylized narrative photo illustrations.
