Alexandra Greenhill
Stylists
"Editorial, events, video, basically anything and everything relating to styling a project. From dressing models and sourcing props to making food look irresistible. I work closely with photographers and art directors to create compelling imagery for any client needs."
"Alex was instrumental in the success of a four-country, six-shoot brand photography project. We brought her on under ludicrously tight timelines but she managed to pull off being, at various times, our project manager, production lead, stylist and part-time art director. She found fixers, scouted locations, cast models, styled both people and sets and lugged a fair amount of stuff on and off set. In short, she was my vital right-hand in a project that has formed the backbone of our global brand" (Deezer)

Darren Black
Fashion & Beauty Photographers
Darren Black is a British photographer whose work hits four key notes: sex, subversion, vulgar, cool. He shoots both analogue and digital.
As a teacher at Ravensbourne University, Sheffield Hallam, LCF and a citizen of the world, he has travelled extensively to Hong Kong, Europe, Barbados, The Seychelles, Nigeria and Indonesia.
As well as other high profile clients, he has shot campaigns for Harvey Nichols and has been featured in Vogue, Elle, Dazed, Viper, Notion, Fault, 1883, L'Autre, Papercut, Disorder, typeface, TMRW, Narcissus, Solstice Singapore and Rogue.
Darren’s last exhibition, 'create/destroy/create', an experiment in collage, saw him rifle through his archive using both rudimentary and new technology to deconstruct his own archive of work and create bastard portraits that are drenched in sex and elicit more than a touch of the violence of his method. The resulting work was an arresting (and at time shocking) comment on the nature of photography and the airbrushed, retouched world we live in.
Darren's shots are raw, edgy, uncompromising, confrontational and explicit, yet they still retain a strong fashion element and always manage to grab the viewer's attention without being obvious or coarse.

Jakub Iwanicki
People and Product Photographers
"I'm an Edinburgh-based people and product photographer working across the UK and beyond. Previously an IT technician, I craved for a career change. After gaining BA qualification in commercial photography I have worked alongside one of Scotland's top creative agencies - Whitespace. Proving my skills and work ethics, I quickly began to work with big names such as Sainsbury's Bank, Highland Spring, RAC, Visit Scotland, Aegon and others, creating award winning imagery for their campaigns.
My passion is to capture people at work in their environment as well as making images of products for advertising purposes. I love endless creative possibilities that I can offer to my clients. Being a quality freak I give my best to each and every detail of the imagery I produce.
I work together with my clients to produce the work that reflects their vision through my creativity and skills.
Most recent campaigns include catalogue shots for Hamilton&Inches, a huge series of people, location and product stills and videos for 12 of Diageo's most iconic whisky distilleries, as well as an advertising project for Sainsbury's Bank."
