Brian McDougall’s career in commercial photography began with music: he discovered Photoshop designing posters for his band. The digital manipulation of images quickly became an obsession, eventually turning into a job after the prospect of becoming a rock star faded, and the reality of forever performing in bars and hotel lobbies began to seem inevitable.

As a lifelong fan of fine art, the job of photography is a natural fit for Brian. He is interested in the creation of compelling images and is a master of geometry and lighting, with a keen eye for composition and highly developed styling skills. He specialises in still life and e-commerce imaging and has built a large network of clients across North America, regularly working with creative agencies, in-house marketing teams, and small business owners.

For Karstadt Sports he shot in the Italian Alps, Austrian Glaciers, Mojave Desert and Death Valley. He is continually booked for running, biking, ski and fashion productions.

Manfred is a renowned sports, fashion and lingerie photographer. Used to big productions and making many trips to shoot on location, he has built a reputation and a fine level of experience.

Offering full service international photo and video productions, his clients include Adidas, Puma, Nike, Sportarena, FIFA, Sidestep, Runners Point, C&A, Kaufhof, Boecker, Deichmann and Metro Group.

He derives his inspiration from a well-travelled eye and a never-ending curiosity, allowing him to capture the essence of the environments he’s in. He is creative by heart and technical by experience, a blend of traits that create thought-provoking images telling the story of each subject. Although Diego is based out of Miami, he has experience working in top markets such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

Companies such as Gatorade, ESPN, Royal Caribbean, Travel + Leisure Magazine, Marriott, Aeromexico, Korean Air McDonald's, Applebee's, IHOP, Visa; and agencies like TBWA/CHIAT/DAY, VML, AlmaDDB and Fleishman-Hillard among others, have trusted Diego with their advertising campaigns and editorial shoots.

Australian-born photographer Mark Roskams started his career in the mid 80s when he began travelling the world and developing his interest in photographing architecture and design.

His work led him from New York to Florida, the Caribbean and Europe before he finally settled back in New York.
