New Studio Spotlight: FOOL<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Started by artist and designer Chas Barton<\/a>, the manhattan-based photography studio FOOL is quickly becoming one to look out for. Their unique take on lifestyle and\u00a0fashion photography is blended beautifully with a wanderlust-worthy portfolio of beautiful backdrops and effective compositions that leave you wanting more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What I love about Fool\u2019s style is how classically cinematic it is \u2014 and how it captures the spirit and feeling of each moment\u00a0without being too content-forward. Their stories are told through tiny glimpses into wider experiences, their meanings open to interpretation. With such a nostalgic approach to photography, their work is inspiring enough to keep you reminiscing on where you\u2019ve been or what you\u2019ve done, perhaps when you were younger and a little more foolish.\u00a0<\/em>Truth be told, I\u00a0found myself flicking through their website,\u00a0seething with jealousy that I was sitting in a box in Mountain View, and not on some sun drenched rope swing in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

But the thing that keeps me coming back is that every photo seems to feel like part of a greater narrative \u2014 like these moments are somehow all intertwined in a way, and I’m following along on a story of someone’s life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I reached out to Chas about what Fool is to him, and where he’s trying to take the studio.<\/p>\n

In his own words:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

“Fool is a world of beauty attempting to inspire people to live intentionally.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re focused on photography. But in time we hope to be collaborating with the \u2018fools\u2019 of tomorrow, capturing the essence of their \u2018foolish\u2019 ideas. This could be photos, writings, social experiments, designs, and eventually products.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s never been about making money, It\u2019s about playing with the most important ideas in my life and sharing them with anyone who will take a look.\u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
