GLOBAL ADVERTISING PHOTOGRAPHY Jun 2019

Christian Stoll has worked as a freelance photographer since 1991. He splits time between the two worlds of New York City and Düsseldorf, Germany, deriving influence and energy from each.

Christian often works on an epic scale, making greatness visible yet accessible in his architectural settings and interior shots. While he loves working on large-scale projects, he is also keen on the opposite - tabletop still life work. For these, even the most banal objects undergo a metamorphosis, transforming them into objects of desire, crisp and tactile.

He draws from his skill with the respective scales of work to create images that transcend their initial impression. Christian is represented in the US and Europe by BRANSCH.NET.

Clinton Hussey is an award-winning commercial photographer specialising in conceptual, food, still life and, recently, motion. Since 1995, he has been creating distinctive editorial and advertising imagery for brand and magazine clients in his hometown of Vancouver and abroad.

Originally a design student at Vancouver’s Emily Carr College of Art & Design, Clinton stumbled into photography at first accidentally and then with conviction, as he fell for its demanding mix of creativity and technical grasp - an intense relationship he recognised from watching his father, a musician, repair his instruments with surgical skill.

Though not a musician himself, Clinton has earned both Grammy and Juno nominations for his album cover designs; his photography has won multiple National Magazine Awards, as well honours from Lotus, Applied Arts, D&AD, City & Regional Magazine Association, the Printing Industry of America, Communication Arts, PDN/Nikon, and many others.

Today, Clinton is expanding into video, creating ad campaigns for clients such as Method, Panago, and the Children of the Street Society.

"Brought up by a man who walked into the wild, born under an incandescent African sky at the far tip of the globe, I was a child bathed under a fluorescent rainbow so deep and high beside a rugged ocean, so wild and free inspired by the might of the point breaks and the two oceans meeting.

I was born to capture light and life’s spontaneous moments with a hunter's repartee, whet by the taste of the unknown, far from the smell of home, inspired by perfection and never fleeting. Cities anew, lands uncharted, lessons all learned with an open mind and trusting eye.

I work as hard as the day is long, for there are no shortcuts to any place worth going. If this is all you’ll ever know about me, it’s enough to say you know me well."

Candid, natural, full of energy and expression, and conceptually strong all describe my style."
