Alter Egos

Alter Egos features vibrant, fantastical color portraits featuring a diverse collection of Austin creatives including musicians Kalu James (Kalu and the Electric Joint), Carrie Fussell (Calliope Musicals), Spencer GibbSara Houser and visual artists TV Head and Jackson Montgomery Shwartz. Alter Egos started off as a simple idea and organically became a collaborative effort between the photographer and subjects, as each model chose their color and wardrobe - "the colors gave the subjects an opportunity to step into character," says Creaney
