Quotes

 

“ Because it looked like a trailer but it was actually a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house, the photos were that bad that I saved $40,000 on it, thats what good photos can do.” - Host Dave Swillum

 

“ When we were doing the band shoot it was almost a conversation. I want to hear your input, you’re trying to put out the theme of your music, or the idea of your music.” - Zachary James

 

“Using the thing that you have as a medium that you’re best with to convey a story, that’s what being a creative is.” - Host Dave Swillum
