David Fitt’s photo work has been praised for featuring strong storytelling with an urban twist, whether it is fashion or landscapes.

Whereas the photographs he takes pay cinematographic hommage to light masters like Edward Hopper and photo legend Stephen Shore, his film work refers to the aesthetics of directors like Refn and Fincher.

Dedicated to his passion to create haunting, vibrant, and emotionally-charged pictures, whether still or moving, he is always looking for new ways to push his art forward.

His clients include Reebok, Universal, Sony, Nestlé, Applecore, Skoll, and AirBnb.

Lisa Tichané’s work has been entirely focused on baby and kids photography for more than 10 years. She has a true passion for children and loves documenting the energy and playfulness of childhood.

Based in France, she is fluent in English and French and has a good understanding of Spanish. She can work anywhere and thrives in multicultural environments.

She is a published author and award-winning photographer. Her images can be found in commercial and advertising campaigns for international brands such as MAM Baby, Procter & Gamble, Enfamil, Cow & Gate, Stanhome and Laboratoires Gilbert.
