Scott Frances
Born into a NYC home filled with mid-century furniture, the son of an advertising executive and a decorating magazine editor, a journalism and fine arts major at Northwestern University, Scott was likely predestined to take his career path into photography. His early shooting years were represented by ESTO photographics, under the auspices of the great American architectural photographer Ezra Stoller. It was during this time that Scott began documenting the work of the architect Richard Meier, a working relationship that continues to this day. Scott's images reflect the synthesis of his interests in carefully balanced composition, the rendering of atmospheric and naturally motivated light, the journalist's need to tell a story simply, the links bridging the image on which he is working to art history, and his passion for the decorative arts. On assignments he devotes much of his energy to collaborating closely with the stylists and art director to insure that the underlying message in each photograph conveys quiet sophistication and refined taste. Scott now exclusively shoots his work digitally, a medium he feels greatly expands his creative horizons, from concept, to capture, and through post-production. His state of the art post-production studio is directed by photoshop master Jeremiah Stuyvesant Dart. Today Scott lives, works, and finds inspiration in the city where he began, and where he has started his own family. While continuing to work with the leading magazines, architects and designers in the world, in recent years he has turned his lens toward advertising subjects, including shoots for Verizon, Target, Bestbuy, UBS and Home Depot.

Martin Schoeller
, the New York based photographer best known for his tight portraits or "Close Up" series, remains at the forefront of the photographic community. Working on both commercial and personal projects, Martin continues to produce masterful portraits that have gained recognition for their strong visual impact. A talented photographer and humble man, Martin's career has evolved from unassuming beginnings. After high school, a friend urged him to apply for photography school in Germany. Of 800 applicants, Martin was one of forty students accepted and after graduation, moved to New York City to pursue his photographic career. From 1993 to 1996, Martin worked as an assistant to Annie Leibovitz. In 1999, Martin was named one of three contracted photographers at The New Yorker and, while continuing to shoot for them and other major publications, he has also been pursuing his own photographic interests. Currently, he is working on a new collection of portraits focused on female body builders. Martin's work has appeared in Rolling Stone, GQ, Esquire, Entertainment Weekly, and W, among others. He has also completed major advertising campaigns. Martin's first monograph
Close Up
was published by teNeues in 2005. Martin syndicates his portraiture through August at

Martin's portraits are exhibited and collected internationally, appearing in solo exhibitions in Europe and U.S., as well as part of the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC.
Giles Revell
was born in Sawbridgeworth, Herts in 1965. Giles lives, works and exhibits in London. Giles' work is influenced by seminal fine art and conceptualism, producing graphic, ideas-based imagery. In addition to a very pure photography and the 'traditional' nature of recording light and subject, Giles is renowned for manipulating not only cameras but esoteric equipment fused with digital software methods. His subjects are diverse and span passions for Nature - its force and sensitivity; Form - experimenting with scale and surface; Time - a recurring theme explored for its ethereal beauty and poetry. In 2001 Giles was sponsored by NESTA, the lottery funded arts body to produce the 'Insect Techtonics' project. A series of 12 beautiful and heroic prints of insects were created using a scanning electron microscope and digital software to reveal sculptural and engineering qualities of the common British insects. The 'Insect Techtonics' show went on to travel to galleries worldwide and returned to form part of the permanent public exhibition at The Natural History Museum and several are housed at the V&A permanent print collection. As an artist, Giles is represented by the Michael Hoppen Gallery in London. In addition to art projects and a significant commitment to personal work and experimentation, Giles continues to work commercially undertaking commissions as diverse as Mercedes, Nike, and Levi's. Giles has been awarded yearly by the D&AD, AOP and is working long term towards a retrospective art book with a major publishing house.
Mark Zibert
was born and raised in Toronto and currently splits his time between New York and his hometown. After attending Sheridan College in Toronto, Zibert assisted for a year before venturing out on his own. At the age of 23 he was awarded his first big job, a national outdoor ad campaign for Nike. From that point, his life and career were forever changed. Though he prefers to include people in his work, his continued focus on conceptualization bodes well for any subject matter. Zibert's work maintains a delicate balance between visual complexity and minimalist impact. Mark has been film directing and is currently working on building his reel. Mark Zibert's portraits are syndicated worldwide by AUGUST.

Clients include: Nike, Adidas, Nissan, Pepsi, Sims, Stella Artois, , GQ Italy, SIR, Entertainment Weekly, ESPN, Right to Play, and the International Paralympic Committee. Currently, Mark Zibert is working on the Adidas Olympic campaign for the 2008 Beijing Games.
