we see the world differently.
And we can’t wait to show you how.
Hugh Brownstone
He’s been doing this for a while.
Hugh fell in love with photography the first time he held a Kodachrome slide up to the light.
He built his first darkroom at 12. Worked in a camera store at 14. Ran a summer camp photography program at 16. And by 21, he was teaching The Interface Between Psychology and Photography at Cornell University.
A writer, photographer, filmmaker, and Webby award-winning YouTuber (The Art of Street Photography with B&H), Hugh is the voice and face behind the Three Bling Men and An Elephant YouTube channel. Together with Claudia, he’s created more than 300 videos and has had the honor of conversations with many of the most respected names in photography and the imaging world.
He is also co-founder and partner of Helium Design Lab.
Both of Hugh’s limited editions runs of Streets of New York, The Book sold out.
Claudia Brownstone
the creative force behind the scenes.
Claudia is a photographer, our creative director, gimbal operator, camera operator, audio tech, location scout, and often the co-director or co-producer of Three Blind Men and An Elephant productions.
Her background in the visual arts began at the renowned Kunstgewerbeschule Zurich in Switzerland. After graduating and going on to create window displays for some of the largest stores in Switzerland, her career shifted into fashion, commercial, corporate, editorial, and catalog photography and video production. Beyond her logistical expertise, her work as a make-up artist has appeared on the covers of major fashion magazines across Europe.
When it comes to our workshops, Claudia brings a unique and uniquely supportive perspective and empathy.
