Caroline Schiff

Caroline Schiff was raised in Toronto on a steady diet of the arts, ballet classes, theater school and museum visits. It's no surprise she chose to pursue a career as a photographer. After earning a degree from the University of Toronto, Caroline worked in the film and TV industry. Eventually deciding to focus on still imagery, she studied at the Parsons School of Design in NYC. Lured by California, she moved to San Francisco after graduation. It's been several years, but Caroline's still living on the West Coast of her dreams. During that time, she's become known for a photographic style that easily moves from ethereal, beautifully lit fashion to warm, expressive lifestyle. Whatever the influence, her pictures seem to have struck a cord. Caroline's images appear regularly in ad campaigns, magazines, and book covers throughout the world.

Filipe N Marques Photography

Filipe N Marques was born in Terceira, Azores, Portugal to a family of artists and musicians in 1972. Soon after his birth, his family immigrated to Massachusetts where he later discovered his passion for Photography. His artistic and musical talents were heavily nurtured early on by his mother, Teresa, with a continuous stream of art supplies and occasional guitar lessons. It wasn't until age 17 that Filipe found his calling. His aunt lent him her SLR film camera for a half-year photography course in high school. It was during those 4 months that photography transformed from curiosity to life-long career. Filipe is a commercial photographer with over two decades of experience in the fashion photography field.

Sabrina Smith

Let's Face It. I'm All Over the Place. This has been my biggest difficulty in life. Finding that right combination of skills that I acquire to figure out my niche. Is it my fault I have multiple bombass skills? ------------------------------------------------------------ So here's my story: My parents cultivated my creativity before it was a fad. I was bred to be a leader, director of all sorts, & a creator. I took my brothers legos and my polly pockets to make a whole city. My version of dress up was on crack; instead of just wardrobe, we'd make a whole play production and perform it to family. I took on any creative option in school: instead of writing a report on princess diana, I replicated the Buckingham Palace with popsicle sticks. Okay, so enough about my childhood. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After graduating from college early & getting my four year degree in psychology (I didn't know what I wanted to do) I continued on the expected path of working for corporate America through the pursuit of law. Does that satisfy me? No. Because law has nothing to do with creativity, its about following the rules. And I was never good at following rules... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am a planner. I am concise, I pay attention to minuscule details, OCD-organized, & a multi-multi-tasker. And so, moving to San Francisco on a whim was out of my character. But I did it anyway, because I wanted to seize the moment, embed my character with passion once again, and pursue my real interests that society has defined as "hobbies". I'm ready to make my hobbies my career. Because I'm tired of setting aside my interests for what society believes to be the illusion of success. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So What do I do? I write stream of conscious any chance I get. I photograph like a fiend (ask my friends) I make & post-produce films (short, commercial, music) I have an intensely creative mind that's ready to flourish. etc. etc. etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get in touch with me, and I'll try my best to blow your mind. P.S. I'm in the process of creating my blog. - Sabs
