"My name is Demetrius Philp, Jamaican born. A photographer that specialises in portraiture with the common aesthetics of editorial, celebrity, lifestyle and fine art. I work in California, travel when needed.

I pride myself in creating imagery that conveys the essence of a person, tapping into their humility and vulnerability to draw out their true authenticity. This is what I call the essence of individuality. I am constantly pushing myself and the medium to curate images that speak volumes and spark conversation.

I proudly bring my culture with me to each set I step on in an effort to expand the world of imagery as it continues to grasp the idea that we, Black creatives and talents have something important to offer.

In my photographs, I seek to share feelings, communicate moods and vibes, and present the world through the lens of Black artistry."

''Hi, I'm Laura Barisonzi, Los Angeles and New York photographer and director who strives to capture natural action and genuine emotion. My style is based on the beauty of real people and natural movement rather than stiff poses. You will find my team on set in constant movement, working to capture fleeting moments and dramatic light with technical precision.  I am a nerd for lighting and cameras and am constantly testing and coming up with new technical approaches. 

Cycling, running, climbing, swimming, and getting lost abroad help me have the energy to keep the production at full speed for every one of those 14 hour days on set. My passion for locations, gear, casting, retouching, and production means we will put years of experience and planning into every element of your shoot. I studied at Brown University and RISD. I have lived in New York City for the last 15 years.   

I am represented by Paula Gren of The Gren Group.''
