Formerly a dancer, performer, choreographer, and teacher, Susan Copich began studying photography in 2006 after a knee injury took her off the stage. Copich, however, found ways to incorporate her theater and dance training into her photography. Copich said her Domestic Bliss series (2010-2015) was inspired by the realization that she was missing from family photographs. In this subversive series of self-portraits, Copich appears, often alongside her husband and two daughters, in dramatic and menacing twists on typical household scenes.

Though London Amara also works as a painter and sculptor, her photographs are often explorations of light. Using an early method of photography known as collodion, she is able to record "invisible" light, allowing viewers to see what the eyes cannot. As Amara focuses on light rather than the subject being photographs, her images are often simple and minimalistic landscapes, yet they have a transcendent, dreamlike, and often haunting quality.
