My career in photography began with Literacy Through Photography at the Center for Documentary Studies, after which I landed a job as assistant photo editor at Outside Magazine.

With a sophisticated and light-hearted photographic style she aims to create pictures that spark the senses. She is available for assignments and commercial work throughout Europe and destinations worldwide.

Dave Spataro

When someone asks what I do I tell them I’m a photographer. The next question inevitably is "what kind of photographer?"​ Well, that's a little tricky because I love shooting everything. It could be a national advertising campaign on location for Marriott Hotels in Mexico or shooting food in my full service 3000 sq. ft. studio for Publix or Boar's Head. Also, It might be filming a TV spot in the Dominican Republic for Iberostar Hotels and lets not forget the family who I like to shoot while I'm on vacation. So you might say it doesn't matter if it's real people, talent, stills or video, personal or for hire. I love capturing the moment that I’m in. Of course, none of this can be done without working with the best people in the industry: Talent agencies, producers, assistants, wardrobe, hair & makeup, food-stylists, prop masters, retouchers and editors. I know, I sound like a jack of all trades but I love it all. So I invite you to take a look at the work and decide which side of my business is best for a project we can work on together.

Rick Souders

Rick Souders is an honors graduate from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Rick's unique creative and business background has allowed him to work at a Fortune 250 Beverage Company, then to one of the largest Advertising Agencies in the US, to owning one of America’s top food and beverage Studios. In his own words: I grew up in the rural high plains near the Pawnee National Grasslands. Yes, very rural. My mom worked at a portrait studio and my dad, amongst many things, was a professional leather artist and taught leather craft. So, I lived in a very creative and inspiring atmosphere. Growing up in a small town allowed me to raise chickens, rabbits, and pheasants and have many pets including toads, tarantulas, possums and a raccoon. My passion for food and agriculture runs deep. I appreciate where our food comes from and I think that has played an important role in my love of food and beverage photography. Today I live on the Studio property in a beautiful environmentally friendly ranch home. Other quirky things include a degree in Taxidermy and my 1967 Bentley.

Gabriella Marks

Gabriella Marks is a San Franciscan expat music shooter turned chef-and-farmer groupie. She arrived in New Mexico on pure intuition, but knows why she stays: the spectacular high desert light, the lenticular clouds, and the humbling experience of urging a single squash plant from the dry clay soil and ancient pueblo pottery shards in the garden. Her respect for, and relationships with, the farmers and chefs in the region grows daily. A recognized name in the regional food world, Gabriella has been expanding her horizons to encompass lifestyle and portrait work in the Southwest and beyond. She's driven to discover in every single shot an opportunity to frame moments and light in harmonious and striking detail. Perhaps the most single most powerful thing she has learned is how essential good listening – to the client, to the subject, to the environment – is crucial to creating and capturing the right image. Gabriella lives just a touch north of Santa Fe out in the wilds of Pojoaque with one very short and rather long chiweenie, and an opinionated flock of little feathered dinosaurs, commonly known as garden variety backyard chickens. Gabriella is currently serving as the President of the New Mexico chapter of ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers).

Aaron Conway

Born and raised in the Midwest. I first became interested in the arts in high school. This is where I began my creative journey and first felt what it was like to create something entirely your own. I started my BFA with a focus on painting, though that quickly shifted into digital media. I have always been interested in and drawn to technology’s advances as well as their origins. I then started to explore sculpture and how different types of digital media could play a role in three-dimensional work. My work shifted into building my cameras while merging traditional and new photographic processes. Upon graduation, my passion for photography grew as I learned more about lighting and started to develop my photographic style.

He has worked with a number of Michelin recognized chefs including Gaston Acurio, Antonio Bachour, Brad Kilgore, Jeremy Ford, Matthew Kenney, Rich Rosendale to name a few. His work can be regularly found in magazines and across advertisements. At the age of 19, his own curiosity for the culinary world took him to the Culinary Institute of Caracas where he got his first taste of a real kitchen environment. Instantly hooked, he worked in a couple of kitchens throughout Caracas and in 2008, decided to move to Miami to further his education at Le cordon Bleu college of culinary arts. This foundation built on the back of the culinary arts gives Ruben a deep, and appreciative understanding for food and the culinary world at large that few photographers possess. In 2022, Ruben got the opportunity to work on a campaign for the world renown artist, J Balvin, and his new collaboration with Air Jordan sneakers. These images were featured in prominent places such as Times Square, Nike’s website and many more. Whether he’s shooting food, hospitality or products, Ruben demonstrates that it’s not only the technique that makes a good photograph, but one’s personal connection and understanding of the subject matter that truly makes an image resonate. Most recently, Ruben can be found between New York and South Florida working with some of the nation's top restaurants and chefs.

Ben Sassani

My name is Ben Sassani and I have a little infatuation with Texas BBQ and Big Bend National Park. I grew up with BBQ in Texas, but fell in love with the craft style BBQ in 2014. Since then I’ve traveled all around the country from New York to LA eating all types of BBQ (Texas-style mainly) and making friends with the pitmasters the ones responsible for making the amazing food. My love for portraits has led me to doing portraits of folks in the BBQ community accompanied with stories from them on BBQ Confessional. My love for West Texas and Big Bend has led me to doing landscapes, cityscapes, and nightscapes around the country. I appreciate everyone who has supported me throughout this journey and hope to keep doing all this for a long time to com.
