David Fitt’s photo work has been praised for featuring strong storytelling with an urban twist, whether it is fashion or landscapes.

Whereas the photographs he takes pay cinematographic hommage to light masters like Edward Hopper and photo legend Stephen Shore, his film work refers to the aesthetics of directors like Refn and Fincher.

Dedicated to his passion to create haunting, vibrant, and emotionally-charged pictures, whether still or moving, he is always looking for new ways to push his art forward.

His clients include Reebok, Universal, Sony, Nestlé, Applecore, Skoll, and AirBnb.

Peter Soubbotnik is a French photographer, born in Switzerland, raised in Germany and France. He studied fine arts and history of art before starting his career in the fashion and beauty industry in Paris.

Natural light is definitely his favourite but he also loves working in studio or wherever the project demands. Travelling the world, Peter is a competent, experienced and reliable creative partner who develops individual concepts for his clients. 

His work is mainly for fashion, beauty and commercial but also for luxury hotels and spas. He can also organise a complete photo production for hotels and reportages.

Yannick Brossard, born 1976 in Paris, began his career in the field of photography in 2001. Self-taught, he worked in a traditional film laboratory for two years, and witnessed the emergence of digital technologies in the professional world. These new technologies allow more flexibility and less bulky devices.

In 2003, he embarked on a trip to Argentina to develop his shooting capabilities and to discover Latin America. The meetings he made during this trip allowed him to work with great Argentinian photographers as an assistant and digital retoucher.

With his many experiences and references accumulated abroad, Yannick returned to France in 2006, and began freelance retouching. He worked mainly in fashion and advertising for Vogue, Numéro and Elle, among other prestigious brands.

Today, Yannick Brossard works mainly in the automotive sector producing catalogues, ads, press kits or commercial films. He completes his work with corporate and annual reports.
