INTERIORS & EXTERIORS AND RESORT PHOTOGRAPHY Jul 2011

Czech photographer Ales Jungmann is based in Prague. He has been focusing on architectural photography for 15 years since completing his studies at the film and television faculty at the Academy of Performing Arts (FAMU).

Ales has worked on commissions for architectural studios including Jestico+Whiles, Chapman Taylor, Kempinski and Hilton Hotels, along with editorial clients The Architectural Review and Interior Design.

In 2004, he was awarded a QEP certificate (architecture specialisation) by the Federation of European Professional Photographers.

Anastasia Adamakis was born and raised in Alexandroupoli, North Greece.
She moved to Athens to study the art of photography at the Leica Academy when she was 19, which was a true match and she has lived in Athens ever since.

She started her professional career as a photographer in 2002, as an assistant first and a professional freelance later. She has been cooperating with magazines such as Maison Figaro, Vogue Casa, Casa Viva, Madame Figaro, Cosmopolitan, Idees & Lysis Gia To Spiti, VimaDonna, Vimagazino, Vimagourmet, F.A.Q., L’Officiel, Food and Wine, Vita Zeist, advertising companies, hotels and resorts in Greece and abroad.

Her interest and expertise focuses on photography of interiors, hotels, food and deco, while still being innately inspired by the human element. Though her images and visual angle, she is eager to express a lot more than the record of an image. Anastasia wants to capture with her lens all the things surrounding us and transform them into something else, unexpected. Everything that lies and moves around us can be considered as art, as long as someone is willing to view it from a different angle.

“I thrive on locations work because of the constantly changing variables. Having the ability to adapt quickly and still being able to get that great shot is an exciting, adrenalin pumping experience that I thoroughly enjoy. Shooting panoramas 300-feet up on a mobile crane comes in a close second.

"I love my job. I invite you to surf my website and see the results.”

New York City-based photographer John Neitzel specialises in location and interior photography, bringing a refreshing natural look to each photograph he creates.

Shooting professionally for nearly 20 years, John fell in love with the art in the 10th grade while living in Tokyo. “I was hooked after seeing my first image appear on photographic paper in my friend’s makeshift darkroom.” He began carrying a camera every day - his father worked for Eastman Kodak, so the photo supplies were always readily available.

After graduating from Kent State University with a degree in Photojournalism, John worked as an assistant and studio manager in Cleveland before moving to NYC in 1985. While an assistant to some of New York’s most creative and demanding photographers, John learned the insights to operating a creative business in NYC before opening his own studio in Tribeca.

Working in New York has provided John with many opportunities to apply his unique vision and explore the creative processes required for continued success in the industry. His ability to create inspiring images has earned him a loyal following and his client list continues to grow.
