Ari Rossner is an experienced Paris-based beauty, fashion and portrait photographer and videographer. He regularly collaborates with magazines and advertising agencies and shoots campaigns for major companies in the cosmetics industry such as L'Oréal, Bourjois, T.Leclerc, Sephora, Nina Ricci and Natura Brasil. He also produces fashion images for smaller brands.

In his own studio or on location, Ari's team can organise the best productions locally or further afield.

While shooting in the studio, he alternates by travelling in the real world towards other subjects, exploring other facets of the human face in countries such as Brazil, Congo, Greece, Egypt, India, Japan, Nepal, Senegal and Thailand.

French, English, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and German are among the languages he can find his way with.

Bruno Juminer is as he photographs - vivacious, sophisticated and fully invested in creating and capturing uniqueness and beauty. To every project he brings his brimming creativity, his keen eye for style, and his talent for communication.

Working between Paris, New York and Milan, Bruno manages to adjust to any situation and maintain his very personal style. The intimacy he develops in his beauty shots is joyous, positive and lively. His personal investment in everything that creates the image - hair, make-up and styling - is a precious tool for collaboration.

Bruno's passion for his work makes every creative experience a wonderful, human and artistic one for all.

Emil Bilinski describes his style as a creation of surrealism in a real world by combining photography with graphics, perceiving the human being in an objective way, showing the real esthetics in the bare beauty and creating artificial pictures.

Moreover, he is deep into music, drawing and, in 2014, he started directing short films. Currently, he is working on his books ‘Perception’ and ‘Addicted to Beauty’.

He collaborates with companies such as Ilford Masters, Rotolight Masters of Light, and X-Rite Coloratti.
