Carl Bower

I’m a Denver-based photographer and Pulitzer finalist whose work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the U.S. I specialize in intimate portraits and documentary coverage. When telling stories, it’s not enough to convey information; people have to care about what they see. So I try to forge a relationship between the subject and the viewer then get out of the way. I also try not to take pictures I brought with me in my head. I do my homework, solve problems, meet deadlines, and know the person in front of my camera is far more important than the person behind it.

Francesco Carovillano

I live for the creative process. That’s all that matters to me. To create, to experience and to improve, for the love of the craft. It’s a strong impulse, apparent but hard to explain. Born in 1985 in Campobasso, Italy. During the last years of high school I become interested in the visual arts spending countless hours studying books and making personal projects. Soon after that I began to work with stills and motion pictures as 3D animator in the entertainment industry on movies and video-games, where I had the chance to learn from really talented people. It was a great experience. After 8 years I felt the need to personally express myself through images. Photography allow me to do so, while applying everything I learned from my previous career in animation, I combine my strong passion for the visual arts with my deep love for traveling. I shoot high-end travel and landscape photography for leading agencies and for various clients in the tourism business.

Cathlin McCullough

Cathlin is a Photographer and Art Director based in Austin, Texas who loves photographing people, and you get the sense that her portraits are challenging you with an achingly beautiful question about life you can’t put into words. She’s inspired by shadows and light, that kinetic energy you can feel on your skin, and a sentimental longing that connects us all. Cathlin is a mama to two children who are often depicted in her photographs. She grew up on a lake in Iowa, and her adventure heart never quit those big open skies. Today she enjoys surfing whenever possible, which is almost never (land-locked in Texas). Her friends call her brave and scrappy, and her work weird. She thinks they should get out more.
