San Diego: Nick Nacca
For Nick Nacca, image making isn't capturing a moment in time, it’s several moments combined. He’s a super control freak. Not so much on set, later in a dim room he builds an image from the ground up. Blending, shaping and sculpting with light is at the heart of a vision that creates images that stand out in a world of clutter.

London: Terry McCormick
"Terry McCormick is an awesome photographer - friendly, patient and very talented. His images help set us apart from the competition in our sector and have played their part in our company winning five international design awards by showcasing our unique products with clarity and style. He offers great value and is a very valuable member of our team of key freelancers - I can't imagine getting a better job from a photographer so if you need a job done well, look no further. He creates stunning work and he makes a difficult job look easy - Terry is alarmingly modest but he really knows his stuff. Recommended highly."
