    Ilse Moore studied through the University of South Africa and obtained a degree in Visual Arts in 2009. She has been featured in many publications and was apart of the Sasol New Signatures exhibition in 2010.

    “While my underwater photography often involves commercial shoots, my conceptual work speaks of a subconscious denial of reality. I have always been attracted to surreal imagery. I believe that photography as a medium lends a kind of realism to these ‘fantasies’, allowing it to exist in closer relationship to the viewer.”

    Her underwater photography consists of fashion, fine art as well as commercial photography.

    Andrea Klarin

    Klarin was born in Belgrade (ex-Yugoslavia) on August 15th, 1972. At the age of eighteen photography became her passion and she decided to pursue at the age of 22. She studied photography for 3 years in Brussels (Belgium) at INRACI. She now works and lives in Paris. She would describe her work as, “ theconstant need to move and evolve!”
    It is a continuous search for something that is “in the air” and that reflects on the world around you. The idealization of beauty and perfection could briefly characterize her world of esthetics. She doesn’t try to represent the reality but she tries to filter it and through the imaginary worlds express various sides of elegance, chic and glitter.

    Jerry Avenaim

    A native of Chicago, Jerry Avenaim got his start in photography as assistant to legendary photographer Patrick Demarchelier. Upon venturing out on his own in 1985, his first assignment was a foreign edition Vogue cover of (then rising star) Cindy Crawford. Basing himself out of Milan, he began to work for Italian Vogue under the direction of Editor in Chief Franca Sozzani.

    With an already established fashion career, Avenaim moved to Los Angeles in 1992, where he is now based. Jerry began photographing celebrities and immediately fell in love with the genre. “I love actors and have such a great respect for the craft and it’s process.” Through the years, he has gained the trust of some of the most strong willed celebrities. In the last decade Avenaim’s resume of mega-watt stars reads like a who’s who of Hollywood.

    Throughout his career Jerry Avenaim’s photographs have been seen in almost every major magazine worldwide, including Vogue, GQ, Glamour, Vanity Fair and Newsweek. With the characteristic variety of mood and tone so evident in his fashion work Jerry Avenaim’s celebrity photographs organically combine the sensitivity and vulnerability of his subjects with his ability to bring out their often uninhibited and gregarious personalities. Be it a portrait of the exquiset Halle Berry reminding the viewer Hollywood is still glororus or Dr. Phil with a full on grin for his first Newsweek cover. These photographs will always be remembered, as the future photographs remain to be made.

    As a catharsis, Jerry Avenaim is also deeply inspired by what he calls his “soul cleansing” personal works. These include his book projects such as Naked Truth and One Mile Radius. Taken from the foreword of Naked Truth: “It is in Jerry’s work that his personality and character emerge.
