Cameron Karsten discovers the people and places when on a travel or documentary assignment, focusing on each minute detail within the culture. Whether working with an individual and their specialties, or taking in the action of the space, he uses the natural elements of light and shadow to compose something truly remarkable.

From the age of 17, Jesse Rieser began looking through a lens, making portraits filled with telling details and compelling characters. He quickly became recognized for not only his success with commercial clients but also in the fine art world. His work inspires engagement, drawing in the viewer, causing them to wonder about the subjects and the stories they have to tell.

With over 40 exhibitions, Rieser continues to find ways of injecting art into his documentary photography. Here we see work from his long-term photographic art projects and recent client commissions for The New York Times, Wired, Condor Airlines, Time Magazine, Barron’s and Amtrak.

Clients find him as a creative additive to the collaborative process not only with his technical expertise but also in the ideation phase. He feels his greatest currency is how he communicates and sees the world. Some call it empathy. Some call it charm. His mom just says he’s a nice young man.

A natural creator since she was a child, Virginia studied photographic design and trained as a press photographer for a national newspaper honing her craft shooting people in all sorts of situations and from all walks of life, and since then has travelled the world seeking adventure - her commitment to tell stories through her lens.

Her career has seen her photograph luxury resorts in Fiji, fight the advances of a Papua New Guinean chief who needed a fourth wife, eat pig entrails in Japan (followed by lots of sake), and her favourite experience so far - sleeping under the stars in the Sahara. Adventure energises her.

Based out of sunny Nelson, New Zealand, she lives on a green hillside, bathed in natural light with an ever-changing view of the sea, and travels for a taste of excitement and exploration.

She loves photographing people, places, and capturing the stories she finds.
