    Sam Kaplan

    Sam Kaplan, New York City based still-life photographer, was born and raised in Boston.

    He received a B.A. from Wesleyan University, in studio art and art history. Sam studied both conceptual sculpture and traditional photography.

    Through commercial photography Sam is able to exercise his two favorite skills – creative problem solving and conceptual thinking.
    Kaplan understood early on that a successful career isn’t just about taking a great photo; it’s about marketing. A look at his website and other promotional material clearly defines where he’s coming from as a photographer.

    “I try and take away as much from the picture as possible until I get to its essence. I think when you start adding a lot of elements to the picture, you’re often detracting from whatever the picture is trying to say. It’s a reductive process. I want to get to the root of the problem.” Sam Kaplan

    Dennis Pedersen

    Dennis Pedersen, is a still life photographer.
    Dennis’ career path has been an unconventional one and his story will make inspiring positive reading for all aspiring photographers hoping to break into this difficult profession.

    Back in 1985, while working as a builder in London, Dennis met up with his friend, Greg Gorman, who was working as a celebrity photographer.

    Still a friend and successful photographer to this day, Gorman’s tales inspired Dennis to quit building immediately and try photography for himself.

    After a considerable amount of cold calling from studio to studio Dennis was offered the opportunity to work for fashion and beauty photographer, Jean Claude Volpeliere. Volpeliere’s work was mainly on location so Dennis started to learn his craft while traveling all over the world shooting for fashion magazines and beauty clients.
