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 work has been honoured by ASMP and was included in its annual 'Best of ASMP' bulletin. His iconic image of the Boston Convention Center was featured on the cover of the Architectural Photographers' Sourcebook in the US and Russian editions.

His work has been published in Architectural Record, Metropolis, PDN, Architecture Digest, VM+SD, Time, Fast Company, Book, USA Today and Sports Illustrated.

Egon Gade works out of Copenhagen for Danish and Scandinavian design companies. International design icons such as Bang & Olufsen, Fritz Hansen, Malene Birger, Danfoss and Montana are amongst some of his clients.

Simplicity best describes Egon's pictures. Growing-up in a country boasting famous designers like Arne Jacobsen, Paul Kjærholm and Hans J. Wegner has significantly influenced his work as a photographer.

Egon's career as a commercial photographer began in 1981. At the age of 22 he opened a studio in the centre of Copenhagen and began specialising as a still life photographer, which was rather unusual in Denmark at that time. His client list grew as he started working for companies including Carlsberg, Royal Copenhagen Porcelain and Georg Jensen Silver. During the 1980s and 90s, he became known in Denmark as 'The Beer Photographer'.

As well as working on many international campaigns, Egon has won numerous awards in the Clio Show, Cannes Lion and the Lurzers Archive, "200 Best Photographers".
