About Amar G.

I work in large and medium format photography, color and b&w. I run a skate shop and clothing line called EVRYNG. I’m currently working in central Texas near Austin, though I travel regularly to southeast Texas (Beaumont, Orange, Houston, etc.), and am available for photographic commissions throughout the state. Abstract connections are what I seek in my photography—a collection of colors, lines, shapes and forms that tell a story which can not be conveyed by words. Please contact me via email for any questions or concerns.

About Laura F.

Hi! My name is Laura Figi but most people just call me "Figgy." I'm a freelance journalist with a passion for representing the truth, nothing but the truth and the whole truth. I consider myself multi-talented; I have experience in breaking news, long-form journalism, broadcast, photography, videography, post-production editing (I'm a huge nerd about Adobe Creative Cloud), copywriting and editing, HTML, web design, social media strategy, marketing strategy and French translation, but I am always itching to learn something new. I eat, sleep and breathe AP style and I'm ready to write, edit or shoot anything you throw at me!
