For the last few months, Sébastien Mauroy has been shooting extensively for Lexus and Toyota. His experience and efficiency facing high-end commissions came from a strong advertising background and more than 16 years' shooting cars (sometimes up to 150 a year) for various European car magazines. His natural style combined to sophisticated techniques gives him plenty of flexibility in his creation process, in and out of the studio.

From PR work for model launches to very confidential prototype shoots and the creation of marketing pictures for brochures and ad campaigns, Sébastien is easy-going and cares about making his clients comfortable. A perfectionist, he's swinging for the fences on every project.

He's currently in Madrid shooting the new Lexus GS300h. Check out his latest work for Porsche, the Toyota Yaris hybrid R shot for the 2013 IAA Motor Show, and his European ATL campaign for the new Toyota Corolla.

Born an Indian, living as a Frenchman, ruminating on the nature of existence along the way,
Rannjan Joawn believes in living the moment. Being a commercial photographer and specialising in jewellery, he tries to makes creative use of light, form and composition hoping to strike a balance between reality and dramatic visuals.

Whether he is on a location shoot or in the studio, he strives to involve the whole team and yearns for challenging tasks, doing his best to match up to his clients' creative needs. Although his partial preference towards fashion and beauty photography are linked to how
he terms “the superficial society,” Rannjan is prone to visuals as a depiction of the
human form and its emotions. Furthermore, his portraiture translates his vision of the
human connection and body language.

Clients include prestigious names such as Chanel, Ogilvy Mather, Polaris, Jaipur Gems,
Philippe Ferrandis, ITC Park Group, Bloomsbury London, The Guardian UK, Psychologies, Verve India, and many more.

Rannjan lives in Brussels with his wife and two children and works between Brussels, Paris and India.

Since 1991 Verne has been the creative pact of Eugeen and Herman, photographers with a consummate passion for all photographic disciplines.
But it is in their interiors work that their strong eye for architecture and design, love of textiles and furniture and inquisitive minds - always searching for creative people with exiting interiors - come together.

More then two decades of experience have resulted in reportages spanning the globe and a strong professional team, which has worked with a broad range of top producers, stylists, models and writers. Testimony to this is a great range of publications in leading national and international magazines such as Elle Decoration (UK, Japan, Russia, The Netherlands, Italy), Vogue Australia, Casa Abitare, Eigen Huis en Interieur, Architektur & Wohnen and many others.

Verne regularly contributes to book publications by Taschen, Lannoo, Conran Octopus and Ebury Press. They have bundled the interiors that inspired them most in their book 'Wish You Were Here', as they often visit places that are not just beautiful but have remarkable character, created by people who wish to inspire others. Sometimes made with expensive means, at times with simple recycled materials, but always imbued with passion.

Last but not least is their dedication to commercial interior design work. Eugeen and Herman eat, breath and sleep interior design, always on the ball on the latest design fairs, designers and publications. Following trends meticulously, trends they are often involved in creating, their clients (Akzo Nobel, Brutex, B&B Italia, Bulo and Durlet, amongst others) savour the fruit of labour, their creativity and work ethics.
