Los Angeles: Bonnie Schiffman
"The making of a portrait is a visual dance; non.threatening, no judgment, simply a trust that something will emerge.
As I look through the lens, it's just a feeling from my heart, to my brain, to my right thumb. The shutter button is pressed; that moment has passed forever, but inside my camera, the image of that moment is now preserved. I can't wait to see it, because the photograph is evidence that something magical happened.
The art of photography is minimal, decisive, a wonder, and always a gift." Bonnie Schiffman.

London: Olivia Beasley
Olivia Beasley began her career as an illustrator before moving over to photography. Memory and storytelling are important triggers for projects, and she likes to create a narrative in her photographs showing people in real places or constructed environments to give a sense of time and place. Her story ideas often begin with a written text which can be re-imagined as still and moving images.
This same approach is used by Olivia on portraits, fashion or still life projects. She enjoys collaborating with people – “the people I’m photographing and everyone that helps me make reality look a little bit better”.

Chicago - St. Louis: Rob Grimm
Rob Grimm is an award-winning beverage and foot photographer based in the midwest.
Dubbed “The Shakespeare of Beer” for his excessive attention to detail, Rob is comfortable in the studio or in far off locations creating still and motion content for his clients.
"I seem to be in a place of voracious experimenting and learning right now. AI is the talk of the town and a hugely polarising topic. People are jumping in or sitting on the sidelines in total fear. I am diving in to use AI as a tool to create a portion of my images. It is a means to create new images and explore new processes while increasing my production speed. But in no way is AI replacing what I do as a photographer. The collection of images in this issue have all been assisted with the use of AI or OLED technologies which is offering me new ways to create images for my clients."
Rob has a client list as long as your left arm including brands such as AB InBev, Ciroc Vodka, The Glenlivet, Grey Goose, Monday Zero Alcohol, Tequila Avion, Wild Turkey, Kraft, and Panera.
