What the fake is this?

Fake Believe is an in-depth look at the photo and film projects created by Stacey Ransom & Jason Mitchell (aka: Ransom & Mitchell), our many creative collaborators and those who inspire us.

Our core belief is that ludicrous ideas should realized and the word “impossible” should be banished. We’re sharing our behind-the-scenes photos and step-by-step breakdowns that answer our favorite question: “how’d you do that?”

We’ll also offer advice, tips & tricks on how any of these projects could translate into home decor, costumes and other mad exploits. In other words … yes, you should try this at home.
