INTERIORS & EXTERIORS AND RESORT PHOTOGRAPHY Jan 2017

Janne Westerlund is a professional photographer with an impressively wide portfolio. He believes that photography is about mastering the light and the technique for creative freedom. Every capture is built with precision, aiming for a beautiful result, that requires a minimalistic need of post production. What you see is what you get.

In interior work Janne aims to emphasise the character and ambience of the space, creating a beautiful harmony between his lighting and the locations' natural light. Janne also enjoys creating a feeling of space with light in places where it may not exist.

Everything we create is painstakingly done because a little pain is needed to create visuals of pleasure. We are driven to create bodies of work that stir one's soul.

Chris Bradley is a commercail photographer who specialises in interiors and architectural photography as well as environmental portraiture. He's often heard about the importance of shadows in photography, but has never subscribed to that belief. Instead, he favours the light - intense, soft, glowing, pure light. The more of it the better.

Certain clients seem to agree and have fallen in love with Chris's signature lighting style. They include ad agency Kramer Crasselt, Northwestern University, Plan B Chicago, Chicago Magazine, Vanity Fair Magazine, and several international furniture design firms including Japanese Okamura and Belgian BuzziSpace.

When not behind the camera, Chris can be found carpooling his daughter to gymnastics practice where he sits in the bleachers and nervously chews his nails because he is absolutely sure that his daughter is going to hurt herself somewhat badly.
