Do you have a special connection? Can you tell us a little bit about the story behind your friendship/work relationship? You and Malina have been working together quite a lot recently. Sewing, makeup, creating characters, making hot Cheeto art- all things that I love but knew I would never be able to share with the world if I wasn't able to master the art of photography! Getting to do it on a team with my incredibly creative husband has only made it more fun! Ever since we met 8 years ago photography has played a huge part in our relationship.
I knew if I was able to create images exactly the way I saw them in my head than I'd be able to pursue any creative medium and have the opportunity to share it. Ruby: For me, photography started as a way to capture ideas and stories that were bigger than the reality of being a 12 year old in Kalamazoo, MI. She helped me to discover a passion for the medium and we've been working alongside each other ever since. She had (and still has) the most brilliant, evocative sense of style, with courage to match, and seeing what she could do with her camera really inspired me. Philip: My wife, Ruby June, is the coolest person I know, and when we first met she had already made a name for herself in the industry. Welcome back Ruby & Philip! We're always excited to have you in our magazine, but in case we have some new readers, please introduce yourself real quick.
