Seb Michel shoots high-end jewellery and watches as well as fashion and lifestyle.

Last season, Seb collaborated with leading brands including Vacheron Constantin, for whom he shot lifestyle images in his loft-studio in Lausanne.

He also shot the latest Alex Benlo watches collection and advertising campaign, as well as the new luxury sportswear brand KO Racer, created by Le Mans 24 Hours winner, Karim Ojjeh. Most of the pictures were set around a McLaren GT racing car brought into Seb’s studio for the shoot. Both clients were successful collaborations with Inox advertising agency.

Seb is convinced that photographers have become content creators. Following this idea, he started producing motion and is proud to present his first personal work, realised with model and dancer Alexia Giordano in collaboration with Repetto.

Alex Buschor is a storyteller, not with pen and paper, but rather via his camera. His art is taking photos using cameras and drones. In his photos he likes to keep things simple, using clear forms and outlines which he pursues in landscapes, cityscapes, architecture and faces. At the centre, however, there is always the essential: the nature of the object, the punchline of the story.

Alex completed his studies in Photography at the Douglas Mawson Institute in Adelaide, Australia, with a diploma in Commercial Photography.

"APiX photos tell stories of architecture, personalities and landscapes. They can give you wings, in the truest sense of the word. Using drones, we produce photo and film shots from a bird′s-eye view. If your product is the main protagonist, we′re equipped for that as well and take product shots or pack shots in our own photo studio."
