EDITORIAL

Double Negative Photography creates editorial imagery that lives somewhere between fashion, cinema, and dream. Working primarily with medium format film and traditional analogue processes, Amanda and Jason Ray produce photographs with emotional texture, atmosphere, and permanence. 

 

Their work is internationally recognized for its haunting visual language: gothic romanticism softened by vulnerability, surrealism grounded in humanity, and portraiture that prioritizes mood as much as beauty. Each frame carries the tactile imperfections and tonal depth unique to film photography, giving their editorials a timeless quality that stands apart in an increasingly synthetic visual landscape. 

 

With more than 100 features in Vogue alongside international publications, galleries, museums, and exhibitions, Double Negative has developed a distinctive visual identity that merges fine art sensibility with editorial sophistication.
 

Whether photographing musicians, actors, models, or cultural figures, Amanda and Jason approach each subject with a cinematic and emotionally intuitive perspective. Their editorials are not built around trends or excess polish, but around atmosphere, storytelling, and psychological presence. Light becomes sculptural. Landscapes become mythic. Subjects become part memory, part apparition.

 

The duo are especially drawn to liminal environments: forgotten architecture, forests, cemeteries, coastlines, ruined interiors, vast open fields, and places suspended outside conventional time. These settings are never used merely as backdrop, but as living emotional spaces that shape the narrative of the image itself.

 

At the core of Double Negative’s editorial work is contrast: softness and severity, elegance and decay, intimacy and distance, glamour and ghostliness. Their work is particularly suited for publications and brands seeking imagery with depth, cinematic identity, and enduring visual character.
