Alun Callender London portrait photographers
Award-winning portrait photographer Alun Callender loves the challenge his photography commissions gives him, from photographing fashion icons, politicians, craftspeople and artists - no day is ever the same.
"Preparation and research are key to most shoots, but it’s always nice to see what else happens on a shoot, everything I do is a collaboration either with my subject, the client or the creative team I have around me, and it’s through this the magic happens.
It’s been a busy year so far; in these interesting times we find ourselves living in, change has become constant, but I aim to deliver on consistency and professionalism with every shoot; what we do is a real privilege and I aim to make my shoots as enjoyable and positive as they can be!" -

Hugo B. Lefort Montreal advertising photographers
"I am a photographer based in Montreal, specialising in advertising photography and portraiture.
I mainly work with cultural companies like Just for Laughs and various television production companies. I also works with advertising agencies with whom I have done campaigns for the Quebec Government, Volkswagen and McDonald's, among others.
A good image, for me, is the encounter between people — with all their stories and their humanity — and light. I always try to have, as a subtext, the vulnerability of people in my images. I don't like fixed situations.
The main challenge is to harmonise all those things to leave room for the story I want to tell with the photo; whether through a simple portrait or a complex staging, the story, for me, is always the most important. And it is created by adding the experience, talent and passion of each person in the team."
