JUCO is an artistic collaboration between Julia Galdo and Cody Cloud who met while studying at The San Francisco Art Institute. Their early projects together were class assignments and they are now based in Los Angeles. Within their fashion and commercial photography, JUCO experiments with bold colors and patterns to showcase clothing in unconventional ways using high key lighting and vibrant backgrounds that contrast but do not clash with the clothing. Their studio work is inspired by photographer Gregoire Alexandre who incorporates studio equipment and props into his images to add scale or grounding while avoiding pure abstraction.
