Tina was born in Bulgaria on the verge of a major political and social change in Eastern Europe. She started taking pictures at age of six, moved to the US at 18 and after dedicating her studies to economics and fulfilling a decade long career in finance between New York and London, devoted herself to her true calling - photography.

Tina primarily focuses on fashion and portraiture and believes true beauty is not only being physically attractive, but equally intelligent, with a sense of erudition, style, mystery, inner strength, emotional depth and sense of being untamable.  

Tina can find inspiration both in the hectic streets of NYC and the contrasting remote places of wild nature, and traditions like her favorite islands in Sicily and Greece, and the tribes in Africa.

You can take a look at the full video here.

Lisa also travelled from California to Oregon, where she was able to capture the new Land Rover Discovery alongside the beautiful coast - a very different look that you get in Southern California. 

Another project Lisa worked on was a shoot for Kia, Innocean USA and Porch House. Lisa was able to work with talent and capture the car static as well as in motion.

"I’m Rebecca, a food, beverage and product photographer based in Los Angeles with more than a decade of experience behind the camera. 

I’ve worked in an array of specialties over the years including: beauty, portraiture, cosmetic product and now focused on food and beverage. This unusual path has honed my skills, on set problem solving, food and product styling, set creation, and on the fly posing, resulting in a pretty well rounded versatility and kept me quick on my toes! It also helped me manage the drama of 2020, during which I was able to transition into remote shooting, independently style shoots and created an on hand prop archive to help accommodate shoots when prop sourcing was challenging. 

Since food is supremely important, to respect it properly I strive to avoid harmful food styling tricks that will render the food inedible and whenever possible donate leftovers from set as I know firsthand how prevalent food scarcity is in all of our communities. 

I’m also reasonably fun."
