For Chelsea Cates and Quinn Corbin, each fantastical C+C Mini Factory (@ccminifactory) photo begins with their vast collection of miniatures and found images. “The tone is meant to be playful and theatrical,” Chelsea says. “Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s absurd, and sometimes we’re not even sure what those animals are up to—they have secrets.”

Their last initials—and nostalgia—inspired the name. “We’re children of the 90s so it seemed appropriate for our name to be a nod to 90s pop culture,” Chelsea says, “and the fact that we don’t take ourselves too seriously.”
