Cameron Karsten Pacific Northwest

"It's important to stay creative, to actively exercise your own creativity, like a personalised workout program that's just for you. Why? Because if you don't, no one else will — meaning your creativity is only yours and if it is not realised, materialised, then it never will.

Travel, document, customise your own project."

Cameron is represented by The Gren Group.

Ed Cunicelli Philadelphia - NYC - Washington DC

"For over 30 years, I’ve been based in the Greater Philadelphia area, working comfortably both on location and in studio settings. Whether it’s a one-on-one portrait or a large-scale production, I bring enthusiasm and experience to every shoot. I love the collaborative nature of commercial and editorial photography and have been fortunate to work with many talented designers, art directors and editors — all of whom have helped shape my craft.

Photography is about visual storytelling. Learning about the person — who they are, what matters to them, their environment — is central to my approach. I see photography as a conversation, both with and about the subject.

I’ve long been drawn to the work of Andrew Wyeth. A childhood book featuring Wind from the Sea left a lasting impression with its muted tones and haunting sense of longing. Photographing the Wyeth family and visiting their studios has been a profound experience.

A long-term project has involved working with Indigenous communities across the North and Southwest — work that has deeply enriched my life. I’m committed, collaborative and focused — and would welcome the chance to work with you."

Ondrej Szollos Prague - Berlin

"My work is grounded in the belief that a photograph should carry a story. I look for moments that have their own rhythm — whether they’re calm or shot in the middle of chaos. What matters is that they hold a narrative. Sometimes it comes through a person; other times through the environment, which can create tension, atmosphere and meaning on its own.  

I observe the relationships between people and place, the subtle nuances that shift a situation, and the moments that reveal a story hidden beneath the surface. Through this work, I’m also learning about the world around me — and slowly understanding the connections and consequences that aren’t visible at first glance.

I try to capture moments with energy, context and a reason to exist. For me, photography isn’t just an image; it’s a way to understand — and a way to share that understanding with others."
