"Collaborating with Candita Clayton and Melinda Cox on styling interior design photo shoots has been an unparalleled experience. Their ability to incorporate one-of-a-kind art and accessories into each setting brings a level of sophistication and uniqueness to my photography that is truly rare. The art pieces Candita selects are not just decorations; they are stories, emotions, and conversations captured in form and color. Melinda’s flair for accessorizing spaces with these unique elements creates a visual harmony that translates beautifully on camera. Every photo shoot is a journey into creativity, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary through their artistic vision. As a photographer, this collaboration allows me to capture not just images, but the essence of exceptional design and artistry."
