JUCO_04

All that color! This is JUCO— meaning Julia Galdo and Cody Cloud making colorful pictures of a retro style lady and her adventures with jello! These are colorful and bright pictures with extreme detail.  The team up of JUCO makes vintage style photos from the 1920s-1970s.

The jello has a double meaning to JUCO here.  The jello represents a form that is hard to understand and the lady represents the "hard to understand" female. The mystery of the gelatinous form seen above alters its state after being manipulated with care and time in the cold and women seem to morph as well and apparently stump the opposite sex.

These photos are very staged and are more used to sell the cloths.  The strong colors are easy to identify and make them repeatable for people in a simplistic way. Not saying the pictures themselves are simplistic but that the colors are easily identifiable and not muddied in any way.  JUCO is good at what they do and what they do is make people look.  Weather you like the pictures or not, they're just bizarre enough to take a second look at.
