Jeremy Ives - @jiveshot

The Act of creation is a gift. To be able to do it as a job is a blessing. What are you passionate about? What drives you? I am a Creative Director, a Photographer, and a Storyteller. I spend my time driving dynamic projects with my team and our clients.

Building a stronger community, building space, and serving the greatest among us is core to Jeremy’s beliefs. The Dojo Studios created Royal Exposure and changing lives is just a baseline. We teach Kings and Queens to tell stories, to to celebrate their community, and to use story based deign to uncover solutions to shared problems.

Outside of his commercial and community work Jeremy is a husband and a father. Be on the watch out for 2 young shooters Mic n Zae!

Thaddeus Pryor - @kanyebest

I grew up in Salisbury, North Carolina and now call New Carrollton Maryland home. I am a lifestyle photographer who loves his job and everything that comes with it. I appreciate the people this craft allows me to meet and be in the presence of, the places I’m blessed to go, the hours I keep, and the unrestraint and fluidity in every shoot.

I appreciate the authenticity of everyday life, the allure of the short lived in-between moments, and I do my very best to take every image with that in my mind. I want those that may view my work to draw a relationship to my photography through the acknowledgement of and familiarity with the situations, the passion, and the energy so much that they feel as though the imagery is of someone or something they already know.
