Fashion Photography by Andreas Kock


Photography, conceptual visuals, fashion and, not least, women soon took overhand. As a photographer, Andreas Kock instantly developed his own trademark idiom, based on qualities such as high energy, rich color and intense interaction with his models, with the rare capacity of creating images with ”stopping power” and sometimes an element of provocation. Andreas stages both his individual images and his fashion stories very carefully, meticulous in every detail, always based on a strong conceptual idea, often inspired by art, cinematography, sex and by women in themselves. Chinese film, and director Wong Kar-Wai in particular, are among his most important references. Of photographer colleagues, Andreas is an admirer of classic master Richard Avedon and of Philip-Lorca diCorcia, the great trendsetter of the late nineties. As his style of direction is highly personal, Andreas prefers to work with the same models over longer periods of time. Recently, Andreas Kock has worked extensively with high profile editorials for magazines such as Russian Vogue, Arena, Bon, Plaza, Glamour, Tush and NK Stil, and commercially for brands the likes of Ã…hlens, JC, Don Donna, H&M, Kia Motors, MQ and Saab.

Fashion Photography by Francis Hills


Francis Hills is known as the Accidental Photographer, and for a compelling reason: Five years ago, after losing his job during the dot.com bust, Hills picked up a point-and-shoot and discovered his true passion. His serendipitous journey only intensified from that point on. Just three months after he started shooting, he decided on a whim to write a letter to actor and fellow Brit Alan Cumming to request a photo shoot with him. To his delight, Cumming accepted, jump-starting Hills' professional photography career.










Creative Photography by Erik Almas


Originally from Norway, Erik Almas came to San Francisco, CA at the age of 22 to attend the Academy of Art University. He was so inspired and in love with the bay area that he decided to stay and make it his home.




After assisting Jim Erikson for three years, he decided to fly solo and has not landed since. Shooting constantly and traveling around the world for clients such as Toyota, Puma, Nike, Hyatt, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Genentech, Kaiser Permanente, USPS, Citibank and Amtrak.


In addition to shooting advertising campaigns, Erik frequently shoots fashion and portraiture images, many of which are self-produced, art directed, composited and retouched by Erik himself.
