About Frame explained

I'm JJ Jumoc-Casas and am a San Francisco-based portrait/commercial photographer and cinematographer. I asked myself "What would I watch and listen to every second of as a photographer?" And for me, I'm constantly learning so hearing from other creatives, their thought processes, and creative vision in turning an image to reality is a no brainer.


And this is how Frame explained was born.

I want to make this series a resource for others to learn from one another. There's a lot that goes into an image and really the final image is more than what meets the eye. 

- JJ

Frame explained is open to all creatives including photographers, cinematographers, editors, stylists, digital artists, producers... anyone who has essentially contributed to or created an image.. who want to share the story behind that image.


The only requirements is being willing and open to talk about yourself and the process in all phases (pre-production, production, and post-production [which you can be as detailed or vague if you prefer to not to share your critical techniques]). 


Ideally, you will be sharing your screen over a video call to go over any supplementary images (location scouts, drafts, outtakes, post-production workflow, etc) so the audience will really get a good grasp of all the work that went into that single frame.


If this interests you and you have an image in mind to explain, please fill out this submission form below.
