With a 20-year transatlantic career working as a photography and styling agent in both London and New York, Holly Corbett has amassed a wealth of knowledge and experience which underpin the core values of HCR.

After building an entire division from the ground up at Bernstein & Andriulli, NY Holly Corbett took the inevitable step and created her own vision based on what both her clients and artists really need.

HCR strives to work with imagination, creative sensibility and business know-how so all our clients experience a deeply rewarding and long-term relationship with us.

"With fall in full swing, we are still encouraging everyone to take full advantage of the safe photoshoot set protocol that we have in place. This gives everyone the option to be safe while still producing great new content. 

Now more than ever, new food and drink content still needs to be created. Something that will tell a story and capture the appetite appeal of the product. Photographer and director Brent Herrig can help. Based in Harlem, New York, Brent supports in-house and agency clients to achieve stress-free productions that hit the brief.

We are excited to work with you and your team as soon as next week or next quarter. Either way, let's all push forward and make tomorrow together."

The duo of creatives behind CiNava, Angel Cintron and Stephen Nava, have been prized for their highly produced editorial images that are creative, edgy, artistic, fresh, and often drawn from their own environment. Taking concept to final imagery that not only tells the story, but demands your attention, they collaborate beside incredible talents in their field to capture the true interpretation of unique vision and to inspire their message. 

CiNava specialises in capturing fashion, editorial and celebrities in high-end print fashion magazines and webitorials; they stretch their limits and incorporate new ideas. By exploring the sexy, raw, and edgy side of fashion they generalise their conceptual connotation of the theme.

CiNava is compelled to translate their own true feelings while behind the camera. Both from the Mid West, they bring their own creative vision and deep understanding of today’s fashion.

"I am a stills capture and motion director working in NYC + PHL, I've photographed a few cookbooks (one of which received the James Beard Cookbook Of The Year award: 'Zahav' by Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook).

Beyond just food and beverage, I consider myself a lifestyle photographer and director. I'm just as interested in the people, places and techniques that make the experiences special.

I had the opportunity to shoot with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson this year to help launch his Tequila brand, Teremana. I've also worked with Free People to launch their newest beauty brand, SUMMARY and worked with Powers on their new bottle design re-launch."

Theodore Samuels is an NYC-based commercial and fashion photographer, specialising in beauty. He’s known for his daring, sensual portraits that illuminate the body via the camera’s intimate gaze. He combines the visual language of photography with a rich, contemporary aesthetic.

His love of photography came the very moment he developed his first image in art school, he knew that he had found something special. His work highlights the duality of existing between two worlds: his home country of Jamaica and home town Vermont. Throughout he works, you can see the cosmopolitan nature of his art.

This NY Showcase features a personal project, a “branded short” made to show potential clients that through every thoughtful frame of beautiful light Kathy Cacicedo is at heart a storyteller. 

It was time well spent with a horse “gentler” who taught us to put our NY energy aside for a moment, to take a breath and to “lend our intent” to what we needed to happen to get the shots. Sounded hippy dippy at first, but wow, it really worked.

Kathy Cacicedo is an East Coast, commercial photographer and director with over a decade of experience shooting for brands like Coppertone, Claritin and Dr. Scholls.  Known for making people who just met her feel like they have known her forever, her easy-going vibe puts clients at ease.

With a style that is “vibrant, and full of life”, personality shines through in her photography and in the pace of her motion work, where she has worn every hat from director and producer to editor and DP.

Client list includes: Merck, Bayer, Pet Plate, Claritin, Dr Scholls, Coppertone, Afrin, Happy Family Organics, Atlantic Health System, Overlook Medical Center and Donate Life.

Peter Baiamonte’s strengths include clean storytelling, rigorous composition, vibrant colours, creative problem solving, and an ability to connect with his subjects, setting them at ease and making their time in front of the camera comfortable. He can also assemble an excellent crew; work collaboratively with clients; and create a friendly, happy vibe on set.

Peter’s work includes many styles and disciplines: portraiture, lifestyle, landscape, travel, and sports, among others. He splits his time between New York City and the Massachusetts Berkshires, working regularly with clients in New York and Boston, as well as the entirety of New England. 

Peter's clients include Ernst & Young, Con Edison, Panasonic, Bayer, Novartis, Berkshire Magazine, CNY Group, Altimetrik, First Manhattan Co., Webster Bank and Wyckoff Heights Medical Center.
