US-based photographer George Gutenberg is entirely focused on the photography of architecture and interior design for both commercial and residential projects.

While based in Southern California, with offices in the Palm Springs area (Los Angeles), Del Mar (San Diego), and Las Vegas, George's experience is worldwide. Famed for his stellar work in residential architecture, George also creates high-impact images in the areas of restaurants and store interiors, as well as hotels and resorts.

Rich in colour, his images are carefully lit for a warm and inviting atmosphere. "It is my intention to capture images that evoke emotion. Perhaps even a feeling of romance, but also with a strong awareness and appreciation for the original design. It's a matter of capturing the space (or structure) in the best possible way."

With close to 100 magazine covers to his name, George has been published in domestic and international titles including duPont REGISTER, The Los Angeles Times, SPACE, ASK Magazine, Robb Report, Enclave Magazine, Palm Springs Life, Desert Homes Magazine, Maisons de Prestige and FINE, to name just a few. His images have also been included in multiple architectural and interior design-type coffee table books.

Anastasia Adamakis was born and raised in Alexandroupoli, North Greece.
She moved to Athens to study the art of photography at the Leica Academy when she was 19, which was a true match and she has lived in Athens ever since.

She started her professional career as a photographer in 2002, as an assistant first and a professional freelance later. She has been cooperating with magazines such as Maison Figaro, Vogue Casa, Casa Viva, Madame Figaro, Cosmopolitan, Idees & Lysis Gia To Spiti, VimaDonna, Vimagazino, Vimagourmet, F.A.Q., L’Officiel, Food and Wine, Vita Zeist, advertising companies, hotels and resorts in Greece and abroad.

Her interest and expertise focuses on photography of interiors, hotels, food and deco, while still being innately inspired by the human element. Though her images and visual angle, she is eager to express a lot more than the record of an image. Anastasia wants to capture with her lens all the things surrounding us and transform them into something else, unexpected. Everything that lies and moves around us can be considered as art, as long as someone is willing to view it from a different angle.
