WHO WE ARE
Should we be friends?
Caden and Izzy are best friends and collaborative artists who’ve been creating bold, perspective-shifting photography for over five years. Their friendship has spanned over two decades and brings a rare level of trust and rhythm to their work. Together, they reject the conventional approach to portraits, headshots, and sports photography. They have curated CadenJohn Photo to be a safe-space for all individuals to have the opportunity to "Steal the Focus and Emerge an Icon." Together they believe everyone should have access to affordable, professional photos that make them feel like the ICONIC superstar that they are.
Originally from Rapid City, SD, Caden is a proud LGBTQIA+ published photographer, creative writer, and designer whose work has been featured in several literary magazine as well as the international gallery at the Prague Quadrennial Performance Design and Space 2023. He is a graduate of the University of Northern Colorado with a BA in Theatre Arts: Design and Technology and an emphasis in Lighting Design. Outside of CJ Photo, Caden is an avid plant dad.
