Born in Uganda, raised in the UK and based in Spain for the last 17 years, Chris Willan has a natural affinity with all people - from Rastas to Royalty, burger flippers to billionaires. He creates images of rare sympathy wherever he goes, and in recent years that eye for the narrative within has seen him solo exhibit at Tate Modern, Museu d'Història de la Immigració de Catalunya, The Gallery Oldham, and The National Theatre - and win the World Responsible Travel Award.

Chris tells the stories of places and people through crisp and authentic images that hum with warmth, humanity and humour. His 20 years of experience have seen him work across advertising, TV, film, NGO, editorial and corporate assignments, both alone and as part of creative teams, with some of the best-known photographers and agencies in the world, including Magnum. 2014 saw him move into moving image and he is currently completing a worldwide shoot for a major travel company.

A native English speaker, Christopher runs photographic workshops up to MA level in the UK and Europe. He is fluent in French and Spanish, retaining work bases in the UK and Spain.

Clients include BBC Worldwide, Channel 4, The Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship, The Travel Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, The Arts Council UK, Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona, Conde Nast, The Times, The Guardian, Barclays, Pictet & CIE, Virgin, British Airways, Thomas Cook, Tui and First Choice.

Clara Tuma's art is light-hearted yet sophisticated. For many years, she specialised in photographing a wide range of food projects for advertising, editorials and book publishers.

Today, Clara’s projects are varied and her recent clients include The New York Times, Coastal Living Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, Condé Nast Traveller Russia, Wincasa, MIGROS, INK Global, Coop and Le Monde Magazine.

"It was on my travels that my passion for photography grew. Capturing the beautiful soft morning light over hay fields in France, the daily life of small fishing villages in Italy and the interesting aged faces of old men in Turkey had me hooked."

Lee's passion and enthusiasm for getting the shot is infectious. He is a people person who has a natural knack for building a rapport with his subjects which shows through in his images.

Being a hands-on sort of guy, Lee has the experience and innate knowledge to physically build, rig or coax a world-class image out of any situation. Throw him into any environment and you can be sure he's going to nail it. He's a fixer, and he doesn't miss details. Perhaps it has something to do with his previous job as a F1 mechanic - not a position where you can afford to be sloppy.

Lee splits his time between Auckland and Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island and regularly travels for shoots - the past month has seen him working in Nepal and Turks & Caicos.
