Alexandra Tremaine is a lifestyle photographer based in the outskirts of New York City. Since a young age, Alexandra has appreciated the way light can dramatically alter a scene. In high school, she picked up her first film camera and she was hooked. She loved learning about light, testing it, and seeing what the world looked like through the lens. She enrolled and completed her education at the Brooks Institute for Professional Photography with an emphasis in Advertising.

To Alexandra, capturing a child is capturing their spirit. Sometimes that means being a fly on the wall, while other times it means rolling her sleeves up and playing with them. Whatever the scene calls for, Alexandra’s gift with children is evident both on the actual shoot and through the final photographs she captures. She delivers a beautiful and organic photograph with raw emotion, embodying the lifestyle feel with her kids photography as well as her fashion.

Alexandra’s credo: “Capturing the world in a simple, yet beautiful way.”

Mitchel Gray is a photographer and author. He has to his credit two best selling books, 'The Lingerie Book' and 'Lingerie Fantasies' (St.Martins Press) and has illustrated many more, particularly in the active lifestyle / health / fitness field. He has photographed over 100 magazine covers and thousands of magazine, advertising, and web pages.

The images in this edition of Production Paradise are a combination of covers of Mens' Health Muscle Magazine, and excerpts from the 'Bodies in Action' gallery show in New York City. It is a a series designed to illustrate what the bodies of great athletes are actually doing under all the equipment, padding, and uniforms while they are performing their sport, in a uniquely artful, dramatic, and informative style. He employs a distinctive, exacting, lighting approach configured to emphasise musculature, action, and grace.

There is an additional aspect to these photos that make them truly a “first” in the genre – in each photo in the series that appears to have two people in it, there is actually only the same person shot in opposition to themselves. This approach allows Mitchel to illustrate two sides of the same body in one frame, seamlessly and within the construct of the action.

Most of the subjects are Olympians or professional athletes. A book is in the immediate future.
