French photographer Bernard Andre graduated with a Masters Degree in Arts from the Sorbonne University in Paris in 1991. He has been shooting assignments worldwide and is now based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Bernard's composition and vision, combined with his lighting and digital photography techniques, render a unique impression of the third dimension lost in this two dimensional medium. His images not only show the scale of architecture, the different textures, the juxtaposition of materials, but they also give the viewer the ability to feel and practically experience the space.

His photographs have appeared in Sunset, Architect and Business Week, advertisements, book covers and annual reports. Bernard has over 400 clients, including Hewlett Packard, Hilton, Sheraton Hotels and Holiday Inn Beijing, and he feels fortunate to have been able to turn his passion for photography into a successful business.

Bringing passion and years of experience to his photography, Brad Feinknopf works closely with clients to provide incomparable quality and a great shooting experience. After studying design at Cornell University, Brad assisted Richard Avedon, Robert Mapplethorpe, Arnold Newman and Joyce Tenneson in NYC before returning to Columbus to pursue his passion for photographing architecture.

Understanding architecture comes naturally to Brad, as both his father and grandfather are successful architects. This has lead to wonderful client relationships with world-renowned architects such as Rafael Vinoly, Charles Gwathmey and Studios Architecture, amongst others. Brad's image of the Tangeman Center was chosen for the autumn cover of the ASMP Bulletin while his iconic image of the Boston Convention Center was featured on the cover of the Architectural Photographers' Sourcebook in the US and Russian editions.

As a frequent lecturer and active participant in professional organisations, Brad remains at the forefront of current photography trends and architectural issues. His work has been published in Architectural Record, Metropolis, PDN, Architecture Digest, VM+SD, Time, Fast Company, Book, USA Today and Sports Illustrated.

George Gutenberg, a native of Sweden, specialises in architecture and interior design photography, with bases both in Las Vegas and southern California.

Originally working as an advertising and fashion photographer in Europe, George now focuses completely on commercial and residential architecture and interior design, with an emphasis on resorts, hotels, restaurants and luxury residential projects.

Rich in colour, his images are carefully lit for a warm and inviting atmosphere. Says George: "It is my intention to capture images that evoke emotion. Perhaps even a feeling of romance, but also with a strong awareness and appreciation for the original design. It's a matter of capturing the space (or structure) in the best possible way."

With close to 100 magazine covers to his name, George has been published in domestic and international magazines including duPont REGISTER, The Los Angeles Times, SPACE, ASK Magazine, Robb Report, Enclave Magazine, Palm Springs Life, Desert Homes Magazine, Maisons de Prestige and Fine Homes and Estates, to name just a few.

"I want to be there", is a phrase often heard from people viewing an image from one of John Granen's shoots. His eye looks for the sublime and inspiring aspects of interior design, architecture and home products.

Whether in studio or in the field, John is equipped to light the most demanding assignments, allowing for greater flexibility in art direction and results that surpass expectations. Recent campaigns include Teragren Bamboo Flooring, Marriott Renaissance Hotels, Christian Grevstad Collection, California Closets and Frans' Chocolates.
