Partners in business and close friends in life, both Samantha Cortez and Sherwin Primo teach and learn from each other as they utilize and develop their graphic skills and creative imagination to transfer an image into a story that speaks to the world. Some may call it a work of art; Imagin calls it a “work of truth”

 

Young and inspired by their Hispanic and African American cultures, the Brooklyn natives work together to shoot compelling images that captivates beauty in torn down neighborhoods and communities that would, otherwise, be invisible to the naked eye.

Imagin believes that there is beauty in everything; it may be hard to see, but if you look closely, and with a little imagination, you will see how striking and thought provoking an abandon house with graffiti prints really is.

 

With a passion and an eye for high fashion, Samantha brings her talent as an illustrator, poet, and actor to the blend of creativity. Only twenty years old, Samantha has already established her gift for photography in her community. Business savvy, Samantha currently works with a reputable agency that represents photographers, learning the art as well as the production aspect to photography. With every photo you will get a glimpse of Samantha’s direction towards fashion editorial and story telling.

 

Influenced by the hip hop community, Sherwin grasps the ideas of artist and craft them into visual portraits, bringing out the artist’s true meaning of their character and album title. Sherwin also incorporates his experience in architecture with his flirtatious knowledge of photography; creating a superior and aesthetic new world of art. Each photographed individual is strategically placed within an environment to bring out its beauty along with the models.
