    Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher

    Carol Beckwith is an American author and photographer known for her photojournalism, partnered with Australian photographer Angela Fisher, documenting indigenous African tribes. Together they have published fourteen books and films. Their photography has also featured in Time, Life, Marie Claire, Elle and National Geographic magazines. The Beckwith-Fisher images have been captured through many journeys and deep relationships which they have formed with various tribal groups.
    Sadly the traditional African cultures are disappearing quickly, therefore this duo are working hard to get their third volume of African ceremonies ready for publication in 2013. They still have thirteen African cultures to cover and the book is entitled, “African Twilight.”

    “Beckwith and Fisher have done more than anyone to awaken the world’s appreciation of everything African, from adornment to the rapidly vanishing ceremonies”.
    — Peter Keller, PhD, President of the Bowers Museum, Santa Ana, California

    Drew Ressler

    Drew Ressler is the self proclaimed best photographer of DJs in the world, with some of his biggest clients being Deadmau5, Afrojack, Skrillex and Swedish House Mafia we can’t disagree. “I am big on depth of field, so I love to use lenses that highlight that fact, such as f/1.2. I also like to make sure my pictures are properly exposed and most importantly, properly in focus. I also like a bit of high contrast and saturation, to bring out the colors and also to make them stand out in the dark. Lastly, I try to get the photo to capture the moment; that means no blurring or light-trails”
