New York - Sydney: Karima Asaad

Karima is an award-winning artist with a unique ability to capture a moment that evokes our curiosity and invites us to engage with the subject. Her work has a raw and slightly voyeuristic feel. However, her thoughtful composition and clever conceptualisation give us a sense of comfortably existing within the scene.

Spontaneous and intimate, Karima’s work epitomises the new direction of photography.

Utilising ambient lighting and with a unique capacity for making outstanding natural performances out of both real and professional talent, Karima’s world feels poignant and honest.

Karima travels between New York and Sydney, capturing spontaneity and intimacy.

Hamburg: Margaretha Olschewski

Margo is a unique combination of deep emotions, sensibility, spontaneity and authenticity. Her passion is finding that one in a million shot. She treats every shoot like her very first one, but does so with decades of experience. In her own words, this is the essence of her art:

“I channel my emotions into my work - I live whatever I capture through my lens. I chase authenticity, in myself, in my clients and in every picture I take”.

Margo knows that the key to a successful shoot is mutual trust, especially when she is photographing personalities.

“Every shoot begins with an opening up to each other. The question is: how do I pierce the surface we all see, to access what is underneath, while ensuring that my subject knows they are safe at the end of my camera lens - that’s the most difficult part of every shoot and the most rewarding, that’s where you find gold”.

“The first 10 to 20 seconds is where the connection forms, intuitively. But that only happens when both sides open up to each other. That’s why vulnerability isn’t one-sided and I don’t expect it to be: I open myself up to my clients, too. That’s where the magic begins”.

Los Angeles: Demetrius Philp

"My name is Demetrius Philp, Jamaican-born. A photographer that specialises in portraiture with the common aesthetics of editorial, celebrity, lifestyle and fine art. I work in California, travel when needed.

I pride myself in creating imagery that conveys the essence of a person, tapping into their humility and vulnerability to draw out their true authenticity. This is what I call the essence of individuality. I am constantly pushing myself and the medium to curate images that speak volumes and spark conversation.

I proudly bring my culture with me to each set I step on in an effort to expand the world of imagery as it continues to grasp the idea that we, Black creatives and talents have something important to offer.

In my photographs, I seek to share feelings, communicate moods and vibes, and present the world through the lens of Black artistry."
