Profile
Carina Romano
Head Photographer
With influences as renown as Ralph Eugene Meatyard and the great
Walker Evans, Carina references traditional daguerreotypes with her portraits.
She presents them, often times, in a surreal story book environment.
Carina favors her subject’s personality through an image, capturing them
in the most genuine way possible.
Her photos, however do not end with portraits, but also have grown to
include movie sets, architectural work, fashion product lines, landscapes,
and events. Carina also searches to be inspired by life experiences.
She often is traveling and experimenting in other forms of photography,
willing to try anything, and also to give her a new outlook on life. When
not on the road, Carina spends her time involving herself in her community,
through non-profits such as the Neighborhood Bike Works, and other
orginizations aiming to improve the quality of living in Philadelphia.
Having graduated with a BFA in Photography and Art History from
Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, Carina shoots her portraits
primarily with her Hasselblad medium format film camera. It’s the best.

Our Philosophy
Having two different backgrounds and styles, Carina and Amanda
are able to play off of each other’s strengths. Through constant
practice in shooting, we seek to challenge one another with
photography situations that test our ability, thus gaining
experience and learning new techniques whenever possible. In
this way, we aim to stay ahead of the curve, with fresh ideas and
little fear of artistic creativity.
