Jesse Rieser
Los Angeles
From the age of 17, Jesse Rieser began looking through a lens, making portraits filled with telling details and compelling characters. He quickly became recognized for not only his success with commercial clients but also in the fine art world. His work inspires engagement, drawing in the viewer, causing them to wonder about the subjects and the stories they have to tell.
With over 40 exhibitions, Rieser continues to find ways of injecting art into his portrait photography. Here we see work from his personal practice paired with client commissions fo Emporio Armani, Bloomberg, ESPN, Golf Digest, Outside Magazine, Popular Mechanics and Time.
Clients find him as a creative additive to the collaborative process not only with his technical expertise but also in the ideation phase. He feels his greatest currency is how he communicates and sees the world. Some call it empathy. Some call it charm. His mom just says he’s a nice young man.

Bonnie Schiffman
Los Angeles
"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.
