Island of Misfit Crafters is a photographer/designer duo based in Hartford, CT. Breck has over 25 years of photography experience in a broad range of specialties. His images encompass everything from landscapes and nature to fitness, architecture, and portraiture. Whether beautiful or bizarre, Breck enjoys capturing the perfect image and is thrilled to offer some of his favorites as prints, canvases, or framed. You can also check out more of his personal photography on Instagram.

Caresse is the designer half of the duo. As an independent graphic designer (cladesign.com), she brings her keen eye for visual communication into each image, cropping or stylizing images to create a mood. She serves as creative director on Breck’s photo shoots, and contributes her own photos as well. With the focus more on details, her images pair nicely with Breck’s sweeping skylines. Additionally, she is the storyteller, currently cataloging one for every photo with the eventuality of including these stories with the sale of each image.

IOMC’s latest creations combine found objects with wood. Every aspect of the process is both an adventure and a meditation, and every piece of art is 100% handmade from recycled materials.

In addition to their artistic ventures, Breck and Caresse pursue simple endeavors, such as triathlons, ultra running, and wrangling their many cats (impossible, but fun to try!).
