Madrid: Jose Aragon + Photo
José Aragón was born in Madrid. He studied geology and film direction before following his true passion, photography. He finds inspiration in the cities he has worked in, notably London, New York and Milan. He is also influenced by the masters of Italian and Japanese cinema, books, video art, dance and experimentation.
Based between Madrid and Tokyo, José has collaborated with international magazines such as Vogue Nippon, Esquire Japan, FHM, NoX and Kee Hong Kong, as well as with international clients including Hogan, Cartier, Levi's Japan, Subaru, Cupid Jewels, Dress 33, Corrupt Design Jewels, and many others.
This series of photos was taken at the Fresh Faces 2010 event where Jose shot as one of three photographers who held simultaneous sessions with the Fresh Faces finalists. Shooting over a very short period of time, his work showcases both the talent of the models and the quality of fashion brand Escada.
"My work is based on the use of light and colour saturation, and I approach each project with a different sensibility. I always try to find what lies underneath instead of focusing on what the eye perceives."

Wick Beavers
"I am a right brained conceptual guy. Even without a camera, I'd be a visual artist. I see light as the major conundrum and tiny nuance of a happy universe, designed for a photographer's purpose to bring us all introspection, comfort, knowledge... Home. I seek the moment when the universe aligns and the light is just so, the planes line up, the subject is apparent and I snap the picture. Ahhh! there is nothing better. Hardly..."

Andrew Kaufman
"Andrew Kaufman doesn't fit the mould of many of his contemporaries. He produces a tremendous amount of personal work, in every format imaginable, and is really someone impossible to categorise. One day he might be shooting 6x7 for an ad client and the next 4x5 for a personal project. He has worked for magazines, agencies, art directors, ad clients and collectors and has somehow managed to avoid the mass homogenisation of imagery that now seems to be prevalent in those fields." Daniel Milnor from the Smogranch.
Andrew's current clients include State Farm, The Home Depot, Rolling Stone, Leo Burnett, DBB, Marlboro, NFL, TIME, OUTSIDE, Simon & Schuster, Penguin, Arthur Frommer's, Worth, Smithsonian, Audubon, Popular Mechanics, Golf Digest, and many others. -
