Anthony Tahlier Chicago

"My work spans many different genres - from shooting people to focusing on things we wear, the things we eat, to the places we live, to the things we love, and the things we crave. I love to capture it all.

People ask me to help them tell stories through a lens. I can do that - I love it. I spend my time shooting in and out my studio, and travelling when requested. I travel for fun when I can because I believe personal time is essential. I prefer to be outside. I try to surround myself with good hearts.

I love all kinds of music. I like pretending that I can play guitar. I often find myself staring in awe at my boys. I think my wife is cool as hell. Having grown up three blocks from Lambeau Field, I will always bleed green and gold. I will always have dogs. I love video games but never play. I will always want birds in my house but will never have one as it would make me sad. I want my boys to be older for certain things but I don't ever really want them to grow up. I will probably never be satisfied with my landscaping and garden. I will always want the feeling of a workout without any of the exercise.

I will always cringe at the act of explaining myself and then end up rambling on and on and on and on and on..."

Clive Bozzard-Hill Photography London

"It's got to be fun! I'd like to think that I work with a smile most of the time, that I'm easy to work with and very reliable, keeping calm even when things occasionally get a bit stressful. I pay great attention to the brief and enjoy picking over the detail.

At the end of a shoot I like to think that clients have gone away with what they came for, which are fresh contemporary shots that answer the brief and more, but also a smile : )

Away from the studio I want to learn to fly!"

Mark has followed and built his career on this piece of advice and has been fortunate enough to work on most of the major liquor brands in the process.

Liquor clients led him to beer, wine and food clients and he recently moved into a new Tribeca studio with natural light and a full, well-equipped kitchen.
