Dec 2022

Seattle: Andy Reynolds:

Andy Reynolds is a Seattle-based portrait and lifestyle photographer with over 15 years in the industry, shooting across the US and internationally.

Andy’s passion and love of photography started in the dark rooms of his uncle's house (actually a darkroom!) where he learned the technical aspects of the photographic process; and then while working on film sets as a union gaffer, he was able to explore the fantastical nature of image creation. He loves to travel and explore new ideas and concepts, building new relationships and expanding on existing ones.

Andy works with a variety of clients, shooting in regularly in Seattle and is a dual citizen of Canada.

If you have a new project that would benefit from Andy’s creative photography, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Los Angeles: Anton Watts:

Australian born Los Angeles-based photographer, director and content creator Anton Watts has been extremely busy during 2022.

Starting off the year with Genesis GV60, 70 and 80 locally in Los Angeles, then Chevrolet trucks that took Anton and his team to Arizona for three weeks shooting the Silverado range, then the launch of the new Lexus RX in California, also taking him to Madrid for the European launch of the same car.

Next up was a Toyota Corolla lifestyle shoot  and a Rav 4 ad campaign in Barcelona, on to Ferrari in Norway shooting on the spectacular Atlantic Road and then over to the amazing Nurburgring in Germany.

To finish off the year, Anton worked with Mercedes, BMW, Infiniti, and Porsche. Most of these projects will be shown in 2023 due to their launch dates. Anton did manage to squeeze in a couple personal shoots though and here’s the story.

Colorado - New York: Bryan Rowe:

"I absolutely love what I do! The immense fulfillment I get from sculpting light to bring out the inner beauty of every product or subject I photograph is what keeps me constantly excited about photography.

I'm a massive fan of detail, color and simple compositions (if you couldn't already tell) and I specialise in product, liquids, and environmental portraiture.

In a very saturated market, I believe it's this passion of wanting to go the extra mile to get the very best out of what I'm shooting that sets me apart... but hopefully that's undeniably apparent in my work.

I was born and raised in Durban, South Africa. I grew up skateboarding, surfing and later found a passion for snowboarding which brought me to the incredible state of Colorado.

I enjoy a good laugh and a tasty craft beer after a long day of work (beer on short days too). I also thoroughly enjoy working with clients that are creative, enjoy their job as much as I do, and connect with my aesthetic. I live in Boulder, Colorado with my wife and our cat. I love dogs too, but our cat is still taking it under consideration."

Pacific Northwest: Cameron Karsten:

Cameron Karsten makes the small, large; the grand, minuscule. When taking in a scene he looks for light and shadow, foreground and background. And placing talent within the field, he makes something ordinary extraordinary.

However, there is a simplicity; the basics of humanity interacting with nature, and everything's placement within the symmetry of design.
