Femke Tewari is a Dutch commercial and editorial photographer specialising in lifestyle, fashion and kids. Her style is distinctly soft, feminine and natural and always speaks of her love for her subjects as well as the environments she shoots in.

Femke has lived and worked in Europe, Asia and the US and has travelled extensively, which has made it easy for her to connect to people from all different backgrounds. She is now based out of Miami but regularly works in places like New York and the Bahamas.

Femke shoots mostly on location for her dedicated fashion, jewellery, lifestyle and kids fashion clientele. Due to her keen eye for design, clients now also hire her to develop their advertising books and brochures with her photographs.

She is an official photographer for the 2017 The Scout Guide Miami.

John Lair is a Miami lifestyle photographer and DP whose assignments are almost as diverse as the city itself. He recently shot a campaign for a resort in the Cayman Islands, an App start-up in Seattle, a Japanese bank, and a fashion designer from El Salvador.

Other assignments have included lifestyle and aerials of resorts in the Bahamas, creating imagery for venture capital firms in Silicon Valley, and a campaign for Kentucky Tourism.

Although many of their projects involve travel, John and his wife Debra, a stylist, have been based out of Miami Beach since 2002 - not only for the great weather and locations, but also for the depth of production resources and talent. They are known for a finely tuned production experience that allows creatives and clients the freedom to do what they do best on set.

Nick Garcia’s sensitivity to people has positioned him as one of Miami’s top photographers, receiving assignments from national and international tittles such as Billboard Magazine, NewBeauty, The Guardian, BusinessWeek, Women’s Health, Runners World, Celebrated Living and Departures.

In Miami, Nick is one of the most trusted professionals, contributing regularly with special features and covers for titles including Miami Magazine, Ocean Drive, Indulge, Haute Living, Brides South Florida, Brickell and Key Biscayne Magazines, Centre, Caras and TV & Novelas, among others.

With a background in architecture and a passion for people and style, Nick has developed a very distinctive signature edge on image composition for environmental portraits. This versatility has gained him the trust of creatives and advertising executives to tell stories that require a mix of portraiture, landscapes and even photojournalism.

Recently, he worked for Citi in Thailand, Brazil and Panama. His elegant approach to lifestyle has also led him to work with brands like The Colonnade Hotel, The Marriot Hotel, The St. Regis Bal Harbour, The Shelborne Hotel, The Turnberry Isle and The Carillon Hotel.

Jenn Bischof is an underwater advertising and fashion photographer. Her aesthetic blurs boundaries, crossing genres seamlessly. With sophisticated palettes her creations are polished, precise, with an underlying graphic quality to create dynamism and distinctive moods.

In fashion, Jenn produces bold imagery, often taking advantage of the constant, effortless motion produced by an underwater environment. Sculpting her images with intentional lighting and composition, she creates a dramatic, sensual ambiance that resounds in each photograph.

Jenn's lifestyle work, equally graphic in nature, leaves her audience with a softer, immersive experience by utilising ambient light. Her images leave the audience with an immediate impression not soon forgotten.

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.

Sabrina Caulfield's client list includes Cole Haan, Express, Bottega Veneta, Ferragamo, Polo, Donna Karan, Ann Taylor, Ralph Lauren, Ny & Company, Brooks Brothers, Chico´s, Michael Kors, Gucci, Children Place, Target, JC Penny, H&M, Vanity Fair, Self Magazine, Jenifer Lopez Fashion Show, Merit, San Pellegrino, La Perla and Bacardi.

She has worked for photographers Bruce Weber, Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh, Bruno Frontino, Marino Parisotto and Peter Arnell.

Magic City Farm's new child is Camp Magic City, again created by Tamara Hendershot. More rural than its parent, it sits on an acre of old Florida growth with a 60s house, a cottage-like shed, a 1970s airstream, and an old southern dock perched over a quiet-flowing deep river.

Giant, curvy oaks, mangoes, palms, and banyans lend to the sense of Old Florida. Beautiful light throughout the day makes life here feel very tranquil, a bygone oasis right in the city. Interiors will be coming soon, as will be the listing on the Magic City Farm website. The exterior has many different environments perfect for photography.
