Behind The Scenes of Our Real People, Real Style Photoshoot

Our first ever brand campaign was shot in Seattle, WA in November 2025.All photos by Stanton J. Stephens. 

umanos was made for real people with real stories. This series shines a light on the everyday tastemakers and changemakers whose style reflects who they are and what they care about.

 In no particular order...

Meet Amanda. Amanda is a Seattle-based DJ and cultural connector dedicated to amplifying Latin sounds and stories in the Pacific Northwest through music. A decade behind the decks has shaped her into both curator and community-builder: first spinning vinyl, then evolving into digital mixing to weave her Mexican and Latin heritage into every set. Her dance floors are a celebration where rhythm, identity, and community collide.

You can find her over at @la_mala_noche, where she’s transporting audiences through soundscapes that feel like home, the past, and the future all at once. Above all, she’s uniting communities through her music and and evoking the warmth of home, culture and the future. She believes in music’s power to connect cultures and move people, both body and soul.

Meet Gabby. Gabby is passionate about helping people and creating art that makes others feel. She’s worn many hats — lawyer, podcaster, theatre critic, dancer, rock band lead singer, and actress to name a few — but at her core, she’s driven by the magic of storytelling through movement and emotion.

You’ll most often find her in the dance studio, where she feels most at home. As an advisor to the @choreographersguild, she’s committed to advocating for stronger legal protections, fair credit, and recognition for choreographers on their path to unionizing.

Above all, she believes in living authentically and chasing what sets your soul on fire today, not someday. She hopes through her own actions, to inspire others to do the same.

Meet Keaton. Keaton (@keatonvarden) is an aspiring Seattle influencer/creator with a passion for sharing human connections through stranger interviews. He has always dreamed of making it big on social media by spreading as much positivity as possible in hopes that one day he can make it big enough to give people the tools and resources they need for a better life.

He has had many passions in life from collecting houseplants, photography, calligraphy, and was even a gymnast for four years! Keaton thinks the best moments in life come from seeking discomfort, being brave, community, and bringing your dreams to life!

Meet Jainy. Jainy is a yoga and Pilates teacher, traveler (26 countries and counting), and someone who’s always chasing good energy and meaningful moments. She’s passionate about making a positive impact in the world and staying grounded while exploring it. Whether she’s on the mat or on a plane, she loves connecting with people, moving with purpose, and living life with intention (and a little adventure).

Meet Shaun. Shaun is an actor, writer, and video producer based in Tacoma who loves helping creative ideas come to life. Storytelling, in all its forms, has always been his thing. You can find some of his writings in Flaunt, SF Weekly, and Grit City Magazine, and he’s also helped teach fiction and creative writing to kids and teens (swoon!).

He’s big on cooking, and spends most of his free time tinkering around in the kitchen. Shaun isn’t on social media and we love that about him. Legend.
