Istoica is the team of Chris Altorf and Jessica Hayes. Since 2005 the duo have been behind the award winning photoblog istoicaEVERYDAY where they publish daily shots of their portrait photography including some in their signature style where their subjects are draped with water.

Their influences are rooted in film and fashion photography. They aim to create a narrative with their shots that illuminates an aspect of their subject's personality. They've honed their craft mainly from trial and error. They didn't go to photography school at Ryerson or Geroge Brown.  Instead, they studied film at the University of Toronto.

Although they are active coordinators of Whippersnapper Gallery in Little Italy, they operate out of a studio space at Spadina and Adelaide, found within the confines of an e-learning company where they hold down their day jobs.

In the future, the duo expects to branch into some video-based work, but they have no plans to slow down when it comes to their photography. They believe in the photoblog style of shooting and sharing often and will continue to post their daily creations online for the world to enjoy.
