We are Kelsey & Zivi, a
creative duo by the name
Describe The Fauna.

The two of us started working together based on a mutual love of aesthetics and continue to apply our combined vision to an array of projects with various clients & collaborators. 
Photography is our number one and we have a commitment to the power of the still image. Our photography style breathes optimism and wanderlust emitting a sense of motion and call to action. We love translating our skills in composition, lighting, conceptualization and direction to other media from motion to music to installation + design. We’re pros at creating situations where magic can happen and being ready on the shutter to catch the moment.
We both shoot & direct on most shoot days. Zivi’s background in production leads him to the logistical front end of shoots. Kelsey’s obsession for color toning lands her on the post-production side. We both have visions for lighting and will roll with anything from a simple bounce on location to a full studio set-up.
When Zivi doesn’t have a camera in his hand, he’s in his music studio writing, recording and collaborating with other musicians. When Kelsey doesn’t have a camera in her hand.. well that never really happens.
Some other fun things: our dog Cowboy. our van Maya.

From the inception of an idea to final output we like to work with our clients through every step of the process to consider and commit to the best outcome for the project at hand. We’ll ask a lot of questions.
