We are the creative minds behind Monsters of Salem. Eden, with her background in marketing and design, brings concepts to life with her storytelling prowess. Aaron spends his day creating educational video content, but started pursuing photography to exercise a more creative side. Together, we create unique experiences that help capture the essence of Salem, its residents, and visitors in captivating images.

What is the last thing you read, watched, or listened to that had an impact on you?

This is from a while back, but we recently revisited True Detective. The first time I watched it, I was particularly struck by the title sequence from season 1. It’s an effect and technique that I’ve played around with, and revisit frequently.

What’s the one thing people would be surprised to learn about you or your business?

We first met under a lunar eclipse in 2015.
