Ilse Moore
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.

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
