Globetrotting photographer Wayne Chasan is renowned for his architectural and interiors work and is highly specialised in resorts and the hospitality sector.

Capturing the whole concept and the soul of a hotel or development requires a special flair and instinct. Wayne creates magic and mood wherever he’s sent; his decades of experience combined with his passion and dedication to guarantee his client's stunning images… no matter what circumstances he encounters onsite. He has the innate ability to portray any project at its very best. 

Exceptionally talented at creating beautiful wide-angle scenes that celebrate an exterior facade or interior space, he is equally adept at the close-up details that distil them into a more personal experience.

The latest assignments have been a multi-year worldwide tour of institutional buildings around the globe and the launch campaign of H’ Mark Hotels (now rebranded as “Story” and “Cue” Hotels).

"We are already in May 2021 and it is a great time to think about where we come from and, most importantly, where we want to go.

There is or should be optimism. The most vulnerable or at risk population is receiving the help they need and in many countries vaccines are beginning to show results. I want to think that the time has come to create together.

These are just some of the jobs that have been done during the pandemic. Despite the difficulties, these projects have been published in the best magazines - and with the highest quality. My team and I are really proud and grateful for the appreciation of our work. Here, in Barcelona, we continue to produce with the highest quality, the best resources and most importantly, the best results."

Originally from Germany, Katharina has been working as a hair & make up artist in Barcelona, Spain for over 16 years.  Throughout the years she developed her own unique way of working, seeing beauty as a holistic approach. 

Katharina believes that real beauty comes from the inside, it is the result of the overall health of the body, mind and soul.

As much as possible she uses organic sustainable and eco-friendly products. Rather than putting layers of foundation on someone's face, she starts with a draining face massage. Once this is done their face looks sculpted and beautiful and she created positive vibes for the rest of the day. 

Katharina also makes sure the energy in the room is right using her energy healing skills, she always tries to bond with the person she has in her chair and in the end they are actually glowing from the inside and have the best attitude to be in front of a camera. She creates authentic and real looks and has a great eye for the last trends.

Katharina has worked for clients such as Replay, Mercedes, Birkenstock, Puma, Fijitsu, Adidas, Massimo Dutti, Siemens, Nike, Mango and Audi among others.

Her work has been published in magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Glamour, Telva, L'Officiel, Grazia, Cosmopolitan, Men's Health and many more.
