Fashion Photography by Zoe Zimmer


London and Los Angeles based fashion photographer Zoe Zimmer finds herself inspired by different eras in history, 60′s, 70′s 80′s – particularly in America, and has found herself lately a little obsessed with the fashion industry in the early 90′s.



Zoe Zimmer could easily live off the tabloid attention her parents statuses have brought her over the recent years. Being the daughter of composer Hans Zimmer and former catwalk model Vicki Carolin, Zoe could have turned into one of those models/IT girls after being ‘discovered’ by singer turned photographer Bryan Adam’s in her teenage years. But instead, at the age of 20, she realised she preferred to be behind the camera instead of in front of it and wanted to be seen as someone in her own right, rather than the daughter of…














Professional Photography by Hasisi Park


Hasisi Park’s photography is genuine, honest, insanely personal and, perhaps most importantly, 80–90% completely weird. She also has one of THE BEST biographies on the internet.












Photography by Sander Meisner


Sander Meisner is a self-taught photographer living and working in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
While he searches for beauty in the melancholy and desolation of overpasses, construction- and industrial areas he creates a certain tension by photographing these places from an unexpected angle, venturing out into the city discovering colorful beauty in the desolate corners of the gray man made structures.

Registration or the level of control over light through a lens is just the method. To truly get to the value of photography, Sander tries to do more than just capture reality, he tries to alter it, transform it. He tries to control the frame in such a way it generates an angle that enables him to construct new mindsets, new insights and identities.
Sander exposes the sleeping infrastructure of the urban environment and turns these usually overlooked corners into objects of desire. The lack of light and extremely long exposure of the photographic film add a secondary effect; any interaction of human movement becomes totally invisible. His pictures have an almost soothing sense of solitude.














Celebrity Portraits by Richard Phibbs


Richard Phibbs brings an artist’s eye to every photo he takes -- in advertising and magazines, fine art and his personal work.



He has shot advertising campaigns for Giorgio Armani, as well as iconic American brands such as Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. His editorial work has appeared in Italian Vanity Fair, Vogue Hommes, The New York Times Magazine and others.

Phibbs’s portraits give a revealing “take” on subjects as varied as Hillary Clinton and Bernard Henri Levy, Beyonce and Pedro Almodovar, Meryl Streep and Jay Z.

Phibbs has just compiled more than a decade’s worth of work into a provocative new book, “Richard Phibbs | Chasing Beauty,” which debuts in Fall 2010.

Another facet of Phibbs’s work is revealed in Richard Phibbs Fine Art, limited-edition prints - conceived for interior designers, architects and private collectors including Anderson Cooper, Francis Ford Coppola and President Bill Clinton.

Photography is Phibbs’s passion. He believes photographs can change, inspire and motivate us. His signature causes -- children with AIDS and animals -- are his inspiration. His emotional connection to his work is perhaps best revealed in his photos of the forgotten children of Romania’s AIDS epidemic -- some stark, some heartbreaking, all life-affirming. Traveling four times to Bucharest, he has taken more than 200 portraits of children with HIV, many of them orphans. Phibbs’s work, including
portraits of the children, is the basis for the non-profit Children of Nowhere, co-founded by Phibbs, which funds vital medications and supplies for Romanian children with HIV/AIDS. Contact: childrenofnowhere.com

Whoever his subject, Phibbs looks for a personal connection, then brings that connection to the viewer of his finished photos. “Something touches me, something in my heart says now!” he says. “There’s a shift in the subject, one way or the other, and I see who that person really is. When I lose a bit of my breath I know: That’s the picture.”

Born and raised in the Canadian West, Phibbs has received degrees from the University of Toronto and Parsons School of Design. Richard lives in New York City. To view Phibbs’s work, contact : richardphibbs.com and richardphibbsfineart.com.
