David Degner
Documentary and Portraiture Photographers
"My interest in photojournalism stemmed from a recognition of my own—and America’s—ignorance of Islam and the Middle East in the wake of 9/11 and its wars. After studying photojournalism and philosophy, I moved to Cairo just before the start of the Arab Spring in 2011. For the next nine years, I covered breaking news in Egypt, Libya, Syria, and Sudan, while also working on in-depth stories of religion, human rights, and cultural life in the region.
One favorite project was co-founding Panorama with Mada Masr, a platform for showcasing the best photojournalism from Egypt and issues of interest to the greater Arab world. I was also a founding contributor to @EverydayMiddleEast.
My work has been published widely, appearing in outlets such as National Geographic, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times, Der Spiegel, and Le Monde Magazines. One of my long-term projects, “Modern Miracles,” which documents the physical imprint of the spiritual world, was the subject of a solo exhibition at Maqad Sultan Qaytbay in 2017.
I recently returned to Boston to document this moment in the US, while expanding my visual language to incorporate more video and documentary work."

Heath Robbins Photography
Boston
"We love the idea that the most interesting things are still made by hand, by real people — not some big assembly line of computers and robots. As a personal project, we went and followed the family at Cape Cod Shipbuilding to learn how they still make classic sailboats, and have been for over 100 years.
I'm a story-teller, and for me that's always been about connecting to the people and places I photograph.
Listening and learning from them, that's where the authenticity comes from, along with my own personal growth as an artist."

Mark Manne
Food & drink photographers
"I have been a food and beverage photographer in the Boston area for three years.
My favorite part of being a food photographer is that I usually get to try the food. So with a consumer's eye (some pun intended), I eat with my eyes first. I try to bring that perspective to my photos, by making images starring the food first and foremost.
Working directly with restaurants, marketing groups, and magazines, my work has been featured all over the New England area. Other recent work includes campaigns for Harpoon Brewery (UFO), and Cold Fusion Gelato."
