Alexandra Tremaine is a graduate of the Brooks Institute of Photography, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Professional Photography with a concentration in Advertising. She resides in the mountains of Mexico in a 16th Century city, San Miguel de Allende, with her daughter and two dogs.

Whether it’s people, architecture or travel, the task remains to connect with the subject, play with the surroundings, and wait for the perfect light that gives Alexandra’s images the energy they emote. Loving the unexpected on a shoot and being flexible when something doesn’t go as planned is what sets Alexandra apart. Her demands on herself are commendable, and her photographs will captivate.

Requiring high-tech equipment, she uses her intense education as her back-up, never seeing a challenge she doesn’t embrace and working until she has accomplished her goal. Relying on her innate “feel for light”, her uncanny ability to discover novel and natural settings, and her childlike view of the world, her work has a fresh and unforgettable tone.

Steve Peixotto is an award winning American photographer with a presence in Mexico, as well as in San Francisco California. His native language is English and he is fluent in Spanish. One of his specialties is shooting in Mexico for US agencies looking for a wider Latin American casting pool than they find in many parts of North America. 

Typical Mexican and colonial locations are easily found in many parts of Mexico, but what makes Steve’s team standout is their relationships and abilities to find amazing Mexican locations that look like they could have been shot in the USA, Canada or Europe.

Steve has been shooting for renowned advertising clients since 1998.  His versatility, attention to detail, and ability to create an environment in which genuine moments can flourish in front of his camera have won him many photography awards.

The extraordinary people he gets to meet through his work always amaze Steve. He loves to be a part of the collaboration that happens when you mix a group of creative people together. 

Steve and his wife love sharing the outdoors with their boy girl twins. Unfortunately for Steve and Ana, the kids are catching up with mom and dad and no longer see their parents as the best skiers and surfers on the planet. The twins spoke Spanish before they spoke English, and having lived both in Mexico and the USA they are very attached to their communities in both countries. Steve is a proud father and husband.

Chris Hunt is a fashion and advertising photographer based between New York, Los Angeles and Mexico City. Originally from California, he began his career 15 years ago and has since worked all across Europe, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and the United States. Two years ago he opened a studio in Mexico City where he works with local and international clients shooting fashion and commercial campaigns, as well as directing TV commercials.

Chris balances outstanding creative talent with an impressive level of technical expertise, delivering impeccable professionalism and work of the highest quality with a relaxed and friendly attitude. During the rare moments when Chris is not working he can be found pedaling his road bike through Italy, scuba diving in the South Pacific, or riding a motocross bike in the mountains of California.

Gaby Luque is a Mexican photographer who feels that with each shot her camera can freeze a moment in time. With 15 years of experience, her love of life allows her to achieve images that speak to the latest techniques and a dedication to perfection.

Her passion for cars has led her to be among the few - or perhaps the only -  woman in Mexico to successfully make automotive photography her profession. She currently works in advertising, editorial and for direct clients.
