London-based photographer Howard Kingsnorth has honed his skills as an advertising photographer working for global brands and agencies over a career spanning 30 years.

With a passion for urban cityscapes and an eye for the darkly beautiful, he has produced masterful images with a cinematic feel that capture the scale and splendour of the urban environment. Aptly, Howard's exhibition space is on the very streets of the cities he has such an affinity with – his work adorns many of the 48-sheet and 96-sheet posters we see every day.

Recognised for the natural window light quality of his images, and with a knack for making even the prickliest subjects feel at ease, Joe Schmelzer’s work has appeared in every major interiors-centric magazine, website and blog.

Recent editotial clients include House Beautiful, Elle Decor, Luxe and The Wall Street Journal. Joe’s ability to help clients achieve their own creative vision has also made him a sought-after commercial photographer for high-profile brands including One Kings Lane, Bed Bath & Beyond, Cost-Plus World Market, CB2 and Pottery Barn.

Joe, his long-time partner Nick, and their canine companions Parker and Moose now make their home-office in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles. Lately, Joe has expanded his still photo work to also include full production video. All aspects of photo/video projects are handled through his independently owned company, Treasurbite Studio, Inc.

“Each shot, a work of art.” The business motto of Phoenix-based photographer, Mark Skalny, epitomises the essence of his work and is carried with him to each project. Along with a creative team of experienced photo-editors and state-of-the-art equipment, Mark’s artistic intuition and in-depth understanding of light and composition results in amazing, cutting-edge images for his architectural clients.

Whether shooting a corporate office complex for the world-wide CBRE Group, Inc., luxurious custom homes for Lennar Homes, or hotels and resorts for Marriott International, Mark captures these diverse locations at the right angle and in the best light and shade. He also brings a strong work ethic with a high energy and fun-loving spirit.

Mark is a “story-teller” through the lens of his camera. The finished products, the images, tell his clients’ stories no matter how complex. He is available to travel to any location - around the corner, or around the world.

Dramatic use of natural light and high-quality post-production has been his trademark throughout his career. Not all his clients are big and famous, but this does not effect his work ethic or the quality he delivers.

After image-makers Mel Yates and Glenn Aitken successfully collaborated on a long shoot producing the stills and videos for One & Only’s resort Reethi Rah in The Maldives in 2016, they decided to team up on certain projects and merge their skills - shooting both on ground level and above from the air.

Combining a huge wealth of experience and creative vision with the latest in image making requirements, and with many many commissions from the likes of Etihad Airways, The Four Seasons, ME Hotels, Architectural Digest, Elle Decoration, Vogue and The New York Times, as well as shooting new projects for designers such as Philippe Starck, Kelly Hoppen and Kate Moss, and developers including Mount Anvil, Native Land (both London), The Sino Group (Hong Kong) and Lodha (Mumbai), Glenn and Mel prepare depending on the particular needs of each individual shoot.

With commissions being anything from half a day to several weeks, On + Above offer a range of services including stills, video, 360 degree tours, and collaborate with several other related skills such as CGI artists.

Tim Shonnard’s 35-year career has evolved with the times - from photographing rock stars, to national lifestyle campaigns for Sprint, to now working with an extensive list of local firms and start ups in the ever-growing San Francisco Bay area.

Tim’s love of location shooting has allowed him to enjoy his other photographic passion, capturing beautiful architectural imagery. His creative and technical approach combines to render a room as the eye sees it - delicately balancing the colours and existing light, with the light needed to draw the viewer's eye in.

The first four images featured in this Spotlight are great examples of his approach, as he photographed the new United Airlines Polaris Lounge at SFO for client, Swinerton Builders.
