Lean and Julian’s relationship began not with instant infatuation but, instead, with artistic admiration. Having connected on Instagram, their first meetings involved bonding over porn in cinema, pop music video clips and weed, as well as an appreciation of each other’s photographic work. It took two months before they first kissed – “basically our opposite way of hooking up” – but once desire was added to the equation, suddenly collaborating together took on a whole new meaning. These days, two years since they met, the lovers are living and working together, with making movies and taking photos constituting an important part of their relationship. Bringing creativity into their sex life and sex into their creativity means that the two are just as likely to be working on a porn project as they are to be experimenting with bondage or inviting other people to watch them or even participate. They say, “We’ve both been doing sex/porn related work in front of the camera as well as behind it, so we’re very familiar with this and we’re really excited to share our videos on Lustery.”
