Iris Brosch [New York - Paris]
The artist, photographer and director Iris Brosch, lives between New York and Paris.
Her photographic style has been described as "Miuccia Prada meets Leonardo da Vinci". Brosch's unique celebration of female sensuality moves in fresh directions through her ability to rework timeless classicism with a thoroughly modern twist. She likes to shoot groups giving a poetic touch with an exquisite set and a young fresh casting.
"I think that a photographer's technical ability is important, but the vision is more important."
Her fashion and portrait photographs have been published in Italian Vogue, German Marie Claire and many other magazines. She has also photographed advertising campaigns for Hugo Boss, Pantene, Tommy Hilfiger, Maybelline, Virgin records, Campari, Renault and many others.
Featured here are photos from some of her last projects: the shooting in Barbados for M&S swimwear magazine, the new collections of various American designers for FHM magazine and also a few photos for British Marie Claire in Miami.

Robert Penkwitt [Barcelona]
Robert Penkwitt has teamed up with Norwegian/French photographer Linn Muskaug to shoot a whole new series of photos in recent months:
- The new catalogue for Parisian fashion label Oggitersen, shot in St Tropez which was well received at the Parisian fashion fair
- An editorial for Display magazine, shot in a Parisian aquarium and soon to be exhibited in Joao Ferreira's art gallery in Cape Town during the The Cape Town Art Festival.
- They were also published in German magazine, tout va bien.
The pair has a new creative cell, called robertandlinn, which you can see at their website. Their concept is to shoot simultaneously and thereby "create a new space in which all parts of the team move freely in a 3-dimensional flow, setting free the often static connection between model and photographer".
Robert and Linn are in Cape Town at the moment, working for various German clients.

Jo Francis [Hamburg]
Dutch photographer Jo Francis is based in Hamburg and specialises in beauty and people.
He has strong views on the role of technology in photography. He believes - regardless of the changes brought about by digital technology, and all the possibilities for manipulation - that the major task of photography is "still the portrayal of visible reality, the incorruptibility of this reality".
The beautiful and the sensual, the aggressive and the repulsive - these are the focal points of his work.
His pictures are a mixture of his vision and gut feeling and he says that nothing has really changed "because neither camera nor electronic image processing system can compensate for artistic shortcomings. What counts above all is the sensitivity of the photographer".
