Internationally published fashion and portrait photographer Yoshitaka Kono was born and raised in Japan and is now based in London.

With ample experience in the art of B&W darkroom printing, he won an Ilford Black and White Award, but that doesn't keep him from creating stunning images in colour.

Working closely with PR agencies, fashion and music labels for campaigns and artist promos that have been used across a number of magazines as well as the international press, Yoshi also regularly contributes fashion editorials and celebrity portraits to a range of publications.

His portraits show a perfect combination of vibrancy and authenticity. Yoshi's main goal is to capture his subjects' personality and to let things unfold naturally in front of his camera.

Yoshi was shortlisted for the Spotlight Awards 2018 in the Fashion category, and currently seeking EU/US representative, contact him here.

As a still life photographer, Max describes himself as obsessed. Obsessed with the creative, the lighting, composition, post-production; everything that goes into producing the perfect shot. 

Beginning his career in the film industry, Max worked on everything from million-pound commercials to banned horror films; it was here that Max began to absorb the technical side of image creation. Turning to still life photography in 2013 Max found his passion. He is now a skilled creative whose photographic and post-production abilities see him producing content of the highest calibre. 

Whether working with agencies or directly with brands, Max loves to produce unique visuals that encapsulate a product. Imagery which cuts through the torrent of content bombarding consumers.

Scout Productions have specialised in locations for 17 years. Their talented team covers every aspect of film locations in London, across the UK and internationally. 

"This year we have worked on some awesome, challenging and wonderful briefs for brands from Burberry to Stormzy via BT and many, many more.

We support shoots from conception to budgeting, scouting to logistics and equipment hire. We can facilitate and service shoots large and small.  We offset our carbon footprint by planting trees for every single shoot day through Carbon Aware Productions last year we planted a record 900 Trees.

Our vast location library has something for just about any shoot. We have recently launched  our Lockdown Locations. Vacant locations that can accommodate crews observing social distancing measures. 

We have teamed up with TAG Supplies for location hire equipment and deep cleaning services, making working on location safe again.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

The Scout team."

"'Come into the cold' was shot in February for the New Zealand clothing brand Kathmandu winter campaign. It was art directed by Glenn Gibbons, who I previously worked with on the Intercontinental hotel brand. We started in Tokyo capturing the frantic city and then travelled to the prefecture of Yamagata, famous for its for mountains, hot springs and temples. On Mount Zao, the snow covered conifers or “snow monsters”.

This was an amazing trip, and I was lucky to get it finished before the world locked down. 

Big thanks to production from @beyond.tokyo @intrepidtravel, Kathmandu producer Rachel Kelly and the rest of the crew that made it happen."

"A small selection gallery of my most recent work from pre-Covid19 lockdown. With the slow unravelling of the lockdown restrictions I hope that the industry is now starting to look at image makers to refresh and help with the rebuilding of brands and magazines with a new outlook to this now changed planet.

Brands and magazines that I have worked with this year so far include GH Bass, Arcadia Group, shooting menswear campaigns for Burtons and womenswear with Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge, an ongoing assignment with Peugeot and Grazia shooting cars and travel, a new collab collection for Whistles and L.F. Markey, editorial shoots for Overdue Magazine and a cover and a 10-page story for Man of Metropolis."

"Since 2012, shooting for advertising has been key to my professional practice. Understanding every aspect of lighting and composition within a studio environment allows me to create the most compelling still life images to a highly commercial specification.

The years I have spent experimenting and creating commissioned projects within these genres has allowed me to grasp leading industry techniques, and innovate with unique compositions to fulfil any brief to its maximum potential. 

My most recent work has been for a variety of jewellery clients, where I have enjoyed taking a creative approach to re-establishing their imagery and branding in full."
