Must Be Two Sides will feature the raw photography of both Shane Nash and Leo Docuyanan, serving as a celebration of the artist's refusal to reconcile the paradox intrinsic of documentary and portrait photography. Simply stated, these guys take bad-ass photos.

Must Be Two Sides will open tomorrow night at San Francisco’s downtown spot, MR. It is an admission of the fact that photographs are often works of fiction and at times a struggle between photographer and subject to look beyond the facade that people present to the world and get the subject to reveal an underlying vulnerability that everyone possesses just below the surface.
