Rebecca Topakian

Born in 1989, lives in Maisons-Alfort, in the suburbs of Paris. Resident Artist of the Poush Workshops! Manifesto. Co-founder of the artist residency el-Atlal in Jericho. After studying Philosophy and Geography, Rebecca Topakian turned to photography and continued at the ENSP Arles the research that already animated her in the humanities: the definition of identity in its invisible dimensions in what it has something mythological or fictional about it. She explores through photography the question of identity through different axes: interpersonal relationships, the relationship of personal identity to group identity, but also the relationship to family and national history and its different mythologies. Identity is articulated in Topakian in a relationship between the political and the poetic. Herwork has been the subject of numerous exhibitions in France and abroad. Her book Infra- was a finalist for the 2018 Rencontres d’Arles author’s book prize.

Patrick Heagney

I was an artsy kid, and from a young age I knew I wanted to pursue a career as an artist. For a while I thought I was going to be a painter but as it turns out I’m flat out terrible at painting. Fortunately for me I was given a camera as a teenager and fell in love with taking pictures.  I studied photography at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Afterwards I moved to Atlanta where I live with my amazing wife and my chatterbox of a step son. A few of the great clients I’ve had the pleasure of working with in that time include Bristol Myers Squibb, Allergan, Georgia Pacific, Tom Ford, Arby’s, Verizon, BULGARI, and Wilson Staff. In addition to assignment work I enjoy pursuing personal projects and creating what I’ve been told is “Fine Art”. My fancy art-photography is represented by Kai Lin Art here in Atlanta. When I’m not doing any of the above you can usually find me traveling disinfecting my groceries, playing banjo, or accumulating cats (most of whom don’t really seem to care for the banjo music).

Chad Ziemendorf

My work, like my life, has been a journey of contrasts. My career in professional baseball enhanced my ability to persevere and excel in the face of repeated adversity, a gift that I’ve carried with me ever since. Though seemingly unrelated, the worlds of professional baseball and professional photography mirror each other in beautiful ways. Elite athletics requires an unyielding grit and determination to push your physical limits; elite photography demands the same mental fortitude, but in pursuit of something more vulnerable and interpretive. While I’ve been fortunate to thrive in high-stakes environments, I care deeply about the details of the people and places that I photograph and approach each new assignment with a humble desire to learn and absorb. The images I create are equal parts raw and delicate, honest and aspirational, like a visual collection of punctuation marks that amplify your story.

Cécile Burban

Documentary photographer and portraitist Cécile Burban collaborates with publishing, industry or cinema; notably for several years as a portraitist for the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs, she also signed a few posters. Guided by feelings, their work seeks to capture what is suspended, what emanates from a place, from a person; the bond that weaves between them. The “Last Sessions” series on the relationship between places, culture and community has been the subject of several exhibitions.

Nick Guttridge

My main role is to help both large and small architectural practices raise their profiles. Through carefully composed and illuminated imagery. I also shoot portraits and occasionally I complete advertising campaigns for international clients. Often these involve combining movement, interiors and lighting. So I am used to working in a self dependent way and also with large crews depending upon the client and project. When I am working on my own, I try to create images which subtly convey the intentions of the designer. It’s the delicate shots which often tell the best story. I particularly enjoy investigating body language within architectural/interior photography. Normally through predicting how people will move rather than art directing them. My work within the dance community has helped me improve my understanding of this.

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.

Although Darren is skilled in still photography, he has expanded his vision to filmmaking to bring the issues he has dedicated his career to a broader audience.

Yevhen Samuchenko (Q-lieb-in)

creative nickname Q-lieb-in. Professional travel photographer. Inspired by Mother Nature and our Universe. My photography passion is an aerial and night shooting. Night photography attracts me with its slow pace — you can break away from the bustle of the day, and because of the long exposure shooting process does not interfere with the contemplation of the starry sky. Consciously observing the majestic night sky, I feel like a single particle of the Universe, merging into a single whole with it.

Giuliano Ottaviani

Born and raised in Italy, I’m currently based in Paris (but sometimes you may find me in Rome). I started my career as a professional photographer in 2015. I’m extremely active in the hospitality and in the food industry. I also work as a portraitist in the corporate milieu and I have shot for several architecture and urbanism projects. When I’m not shooting for an assignment or a project, I just love to discover the world’s most beautiful forests and depict their trees.
