Berlin: Dorit Guenter
Growing up in an East German environment characterised by drab greys and darkness, Dorit developed a deep affinity for light. Light, she realised early on, is a central factor in the beauty of photographs, and she is a master at using it in her photographs in a variety of sometimes unconventional ways.
During her photo shoots, she places special emphasis on a happy atmosphere and conveys a feeling of security to the children with a childlike lightness. In doing so, she always succeeds in capturing these precious moments and capturing the true expressions of emotion that deserve to be preserved for eternity. Her very own, unmistakable style in dealing with light enables her to create fascinating photographs of unparalleled beauty.

London: Julia Bostock
Julia has been shooting kids, fashion and portraits for many brands and leading independent magazines in the UK and abroad for a number of years.
Constantly inspired by what she sees around her, she is always thinking of stories to capture. Referencing painting and sometimes vintage photography, she is eager to convey the emotions and moods of subjects and situations through her imagery. Through her lens she pulls something unique out of the scene, using composition and light, capturing a moment.
Alongside her commercial work, she is always documenting real life. The pandemic has helped her to slow down and notice the things around her close to home, and as a result she has touched on many delicate issues and noticed the small details. She has an empathy with people which allows her subjects to feel comfortable and at ease.
She has just returned to the Camargue where her work is now being shown in Arles.
Editorial clients include Awkward World, Collezioni, Milk, Mini Maven, Naif, Pirouette, Rakes Progress, Vogue Bambini and The Telegraph, amongst others.
Advertising clients include Adidas, Lego, Afiniti, British Airways, Caramel, Liberty, Velveteen, Marie Chantal, Mothercare, Fendi, Boden and Marks and Spencer.
