Karl Beath started out as a landscape photographer before moving on to architectural photography. Karl found it, as a natural progression, the built environment within nature’s landscape, since both avenues follow similar concepts, only this time the architect is the creator. In his photographs he aims to capture their vision by using available light and careful composition, as with all his photography he strives to create an image so that the whole is a balanced sum of its parts. Composing and balancing the natural and built world with its numerous interacting planes, colours and light – enables him to convey the dramatic nature of the raw experience with one that is also pleasing to the eye.

Yulia Gorbachenko
Yulia Gorbachenko was born and raised in Pryluky, in the Cherihiv region in the Ukraine. When she was twenty-one, she moved to the US to get professional experience and international exposure in marketing and advertising. During her internship she developed love for photography, which grew bigger as time went by and she now lives and works in New York which she says is the city of rhythm, drive, and passion. Her style of photography is very contemporary but still holding onto that classical touch. She is happy to live in a digital era because she uses it to her advantage by continuously experimenting during her shoots when she can. Her favourite lighting equipment to take with on a shoot is a silver beauty dish in combination with grid and when it comes to lighting she is very much an “old-school” photographer by doing her best to make all she can on the set and works really hard to make her retouchers job easier.

Julia Fullerton-Batten
Skimming through her impressively enormous portfolio, it becomes clear that Julia Fullerton-Batten’s famous images are a medley of alarm-bell bright colours, crowds and garish aspects of modern life. Add in the fact that she’s inspired by the transformation of girls to women and the differing attitudes towards this in contrasting countries. Often using the artificial waters of the local swimming pool, or the ubiquitous British schoolgirl’s summer uniform, Julia’s compositions of primarily women and young girls is at once disturbing and familiar, but no doubt utterly original and incredibly impressive.
