Following in the footsteps of the famed photographer Mario Testino, Jeff Olson created a new image for A.B.S. by the Allen Schwartz brand for their recent Fall campaign. He will also be shooting the brand's Spring 2008 campaign.

Jeff's images appear in September's Vogue Latin America, whilst the photographer will have a second story published in the November issue that features Covergirl face and supermodel, Tiiu.

Jeff Olson is highlighted in the July/August issue of Picture Magazine, with a major feature article (and cover photo) that focuses on his style and use of imagery.

It has been a busy few months for Julian Hibbard.

In May he shot on location for Popular Mechanics magazine. Travelling to Greensburg, Kansas, a small town 95% destroyed three weeks earlier by a category 5 tornado, Julian produced the cover and lead story images
for the magazine's 'Survive Anything' edition.

A special challenge given the scale and type of destruction, Julian encountered the town's few remaining inhabitants - strong, determined, yet humbled by their experience.

His cover image set-ups evoke a surreal quality, depicting a place where there was once life, and where it appears time has since stood still.
