Alex Waber
Canada
Alex Waber is a commercial photographer specialising in lifestyle, fashion and where they intersect.
This summer featured several exciting projects and one awesome adventure. It started when two of his long term clients collaborated, Arcteryx and Section 35. Waber photographed their 'Walk Gently' campaign, photographed in the workshop of a traditional canoe builder and working with members of the community as the subjects.
Waber then ended up on a very fun boat cruise of the coast of Vancouver to shoot a summer campaign for No Reception Club.
And finally Alex went to the Yukon to participate in a relay bike race from Haines Yukon to Haines Alaska. The perk of a relay was that once Alex finished his leg of the journey, the cameras came out and he switched to documentary mode, photographing the riders of the KCIBR in an absolutely stunning environment.

Ondrej Szollos
Prague - Berlin
"I’m a photographer focused on people, lifestyle, and visual storytelling that blurs the line between commercial and authentic. My work often originates in the world of advertising, yet it aims to feel alive — spontaneous, imperfect, and human. I try to capture moments that breathe, laugh, and reveal something genuine, even within constructed situations.
The people I photograph are never just subjects; they become collaborators in creating images that balance humor and honesty, irony and empathy. I’m interested in those small, imperfect gestures that make us real — in finding sincerity within the spectacle.
Ultimately, my photography is about presence rather than perfection — about showing life as it is when no one’s trying too hard to look cool. It’s an aesthetic of truth that hides inside the visual language of fiction."
