Andres Slater's Fine Arts training is clearly visible in the way he portrays his subjects. The absence of artificial backgrounds and over-done digital retouching makes his work naturally pleasing to the eye.

'True life' best defines Andres' pictures. Normal people in stunning locations are combined in perfect harmony, a simple idea that informs the concept behind much of his work.

Antonella Arismendi's creativity never ceases. Her style and sense of aesthetic, composition and colour give remarkable shooting results.

As a self-confessed perfectionist she takes the essence of beauty and reinvents it to exaggerate the mystery and depth behind her subjects. She creates environments full of atmosphere, approaching shots in the way a filmmaker would compose a scene.

Antonella currently works from Buenos Aires for editorial clients including D, Rolling Stone, 90+10, Vástago, Catalogue and Vanidades, and shoots advertising campaigns with leading advertising agencies.

Monteverde Models was founded in 2001 and quickly made its mark in the domestic industry. The company was the first to offer a wide variety of select talents and models, delivering its client's requests quickly and efficiently.

Monteverde moved forward with a wide and innovative selection of models for Camel, created by Agulla and Baccetti in 2001. At the beginning of 2003 the company's database numbered 1000 people, and today it holds over 4000.

In 2007, Monteverde began providing casting services for campaigns such as Ray.Ban (worldwide), Sony (North American Latin market), Benson (Mexico), Coca-Cola (Latin America), PhotoAlto Image Bank, Nivea, American Express Worldwide and Tecate (Mexico), to name but a few.

The agency continues to grow on average 50% per year, successfully attracting both new international and domestic clients.

"Some things you always wanted to know about Argentina* but were afraid to ask:"

All major European airlines operate daily flights to Argentina and the time difference is only three hours, which makes jetlag insignificant. The Argentine Peso is the lowest valued currency in the region: Swiss bank UBS recently rated 71 world capitals for their price performance, with the cheapest three revealed as Kuala Lumpur, New Delhi and Buenos Aires. Argentina, this year celebrating the 25th anniversary of its return to democracy, looks and feels the most European among South American countries, and makes for one of the most logical off-season destinations for photo and film productions.

The company's website shows more than 15,000 location pictures, plus references to recent campaigns and photographers.
