Istanbul: Necati Ufuk Baskir
Necati Ufuk Baskir graduated in Photography from the fine arts faculty at Mimar Sinan University, where he majored in Studio and Architectural (interior and exterior) Photography.
Crucially aware that high visual quality is necessary for professional advertising and promotion, Necati uses large 8"x10" and 4"x5" film formats to meet clients' requirements and create superior images. In 1996, he became a member of the Association of Advertising Photographers.
Believing that every single shot is also a tool for professional and personal development, Necati uses traditional shooting practices and finalises his work by analogue methods. He works to the principle that there should be minimal interference with the film after shooting, thus removing the need to retouch or alter the original photograph.

Los Angeles: Bernard Andre Photography
French photographer Bernard Andre graduated with a Masters Degree in Arts from the Sorbonne University in Paris in 1991. He has been shooting assignments worldwide and is now based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Bernard's composition and vision, combined with his lighting and digital photography techniques, render a unique impression of the third dimension lost in this two dimensional medium. His images not only show the scale of architecture, the different textures, the juxtaposition of materials, but they also give the viewer the ability to feel and practically experience the space.
His photographs have appeared in Sunset, Architect and Business Week, advertisements, book covers and annual reports. Bernard has over 400 clients, including Hewlett Packard, Hilton, Sheraton Hotels and Holiday Inn Beijing, and he feels fortunate to have been able to turn his passion for photography into a successful business.

Baltimore: Paul Burk
