Photography duo Stevie and Mada (Stevie Verroca and Mada Refujio) is based out of New York.
They’re known for their bold, persona-driven portraits that emphasize the body as an expressive material. Casting and location are central elements of their work. Their models take up space: posing, flaunting, and constructing their image for maximum agency. They own the environments they occupy. Their worlds become a throne/altar/stage on which to perform identity and destiny, form and fortune.
Stevie Mada’s signature hi-lo style combines romantic and vernacular, pastoral and plastic, club and cornfield. Their distinctive vision has been commissioned for editorials in Noon, Replica, and Purple (to name a few) along with campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Camper, and leading fashion brands around the world.
