“The shoot was inspired by 1970’s Las Vegas & the phrase “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”. We couldn’t make it to Vegas, so we shot at an old, run-down motel in Austin, TX that is assumed to be a “No-Tell Motel”, meaning that it’s primarily used for sex, affairs, drugs & other things one would probably like to keep private. So in this case “what happens in Austin, Stays in Austin.”
Tracy Morford was born and raised in upstate New York, relocated to NYC to attend Pratt Institute, and later the School of Visual Arts with a concentration in photography. After working under and being mentored by some of the world’s biggest fashion photographers, she created her own portfolio of diverse imagery which has reached book/magazine covers worldwide, and the attention of a number of celebrity clients.
The large majority of Tracy’s shoots are produced, art directed, photographed, and retouched by her, allowing for a consistent visual theme regardless if the job is aimed at commercial rebranding, or an artistic portrait session.
Being an avid world traveler provides Tracy with a uniquely inspired creative eye, and an array of eclectic inspirations. She now lives in Austin, TX, and is always looking to take on new clients and creative projects both locally and across the globe.
