Ginger Robinson grew up in Chickamauga, Georgia next to a haunted civil war national park. She took up photography in 2001, turning out a portrait series of women working in the produce department of the nation's largest collectively run, worker-owned grocery in the United States, Rainbow Grocery, Inc. Alongside her arresting portraiture work, she photographed quiet, still images of her life: diners, empty beds, shotguns and friendships. She also has an ongoing project documenting the town where she grew up, showcasing the unequivocal beauty and easy humor of the south enmeshed with its painful past and rebel flags. Her work has garnered her attention in her hometown of San Francisco where she has exhibited in solo and group shows. She co-founded Robinberg Photography with Sara Seinberg in 2008.

Sara Seinberg began making photographs in 1998. After creating work for three years with the photo collective Point Blank in San Francisco, she returned to school at Tufts University's School of the Museum of Fine Arts and received her MFA in photography in 2004. Her work has appeared in print nationally and internationally and on the walls of galleries throughout the US. The images are a thrilling mix of editorial style portraits, industrial urban still lifes, momentary beauty queens, and molotov cocktails of color. She toured the US (and a few great stops in Canada) showing her photographs with the legendary Sister Spit in 2009. She co-founded Robinberg Photography with Ginger Robinson in 2008.
