Working as photographers and directors, the Rhoads use their visual medium to explore humanity, the world around them and the sense of wonder that ignites. The Rhoads have a great respect and passion for what goes into creating the narrative-driven, honest imagery they have come to be known for.

The Rhoads were featured as one of Photo District News’ 30 under 30 in 2014 as well as being featured on The Cut for fashion photographers to watch. Some of their advertising clients include Levi’s, Facebook, Timex & Zara by which they are hired to bring their vision for creating honest and un-guarded images to help define these leading worldwide brands. The Rhoads also continue to shoot a number of personal projects and people of interest, as well as working with a variety of editorial clients. The Rhoads currently reside in Los Angeles, California.
