Will Saunders' images have a good time. His imagery speaks volumes about what makes him tick. The photography laughs, limbos, and leaps into your lap. The cast of characters welcomes you in to be part of the experience. Travel along for the ride onto the streets of Cuba, or mountains of Oman, or beaches of Alaska. Have you ever wanted to be naked with nothing but a huge palm leaf covering your privates? Well, now's your chance without taking off a speck of clothing. With clear vision upfront, Will brings his own version of magic that is not easily faked. It’s natural because the creator produces a feel that has layers on top of it. When Will is not traveling on assignment, he is often on a self-directed expedition creating new personal work.  

John Haynes could say there are many favorite things about this work, but it all comes down to people. Whether it's the talent he photographs, the clients he collaborates with, or the crew who has become his extended family, his work is all about people, and is made possible by people. Taking pictures is nice, but working shoulder-to-shoulder with everyone who helps to make them is his life.

Meeting clients' needs with provocative visuals in both print and film as a director, cinematographer, and photographer is what Bill Heuberger does. Whether it's editorial in the Caribbean, a music video in Havana, underwater television commercials in the Florida Keys, octogenarians in Tuscany, or advertising stills and TV commercials from his studio in Manhattan, Bill delivers images that get noticed. Growing up in Oregon where he milked cows, fought bears, hugged trees and girls, Bill left to attend college in southern California, where he studied photography, frisbee, and Mexican food. His orbit now circles around his New York studio, where his photographic career has followed a curvy path fortunately rewarded with numerous challenging assignments. Sadly, he talks more about going fishing than actually fishing, but luckily finds himself the proud father of two boys whose love and attention rival anything anywhere.

Steven Faulkner Moyer is a creative, director, and photographer, with the resources and team to produce, write, capture, and finish motion and print imagery. His work experience spans 20 years, starting with degrees earned in business, studio art, and an MFA in film production from Florida State University. He spent the early 2000s in New York City, working his way up as a grip, electrician, and gaffer on everything from large studio and indie films to commercials and music videos. After making the jump to cinematographer, Steven began shooting promos for networks such as AETN and Discovery. He invested in digital cameras, post-production, and color grading equipment and started finishing projects from script to screen. In 2011, Steven moved to Los Angeles, where he continues to grow as a filmmaker with new opportunities to write and direct. He began to build his print portfolio one image at a time, often capturing print and motion simultaneously. Steven continues to integrate directing, motion, and print capture and enjoys finding creative ways to elevate each project for his clients. He sees himself as an extension of his clients, or the director's unique creative process, stepping in as needed to help execute their visions. From creation to completion, he has the proven ability to stretch time and resources, and his grasp on each stage of production helps to free him to think outside the box for every situation. As either a director, cinematographer, or photographer, Steven aspires to connect with like-minded people to achieve something great, no matter the role or scope of the project. When not on set, Steven spends time with his amazing wife and stepkids. He loves to be outdoors: mountain biking, hiking, and skiing throughout the stunning scenery of Southern California and Utah!  

Steve Silverman is a commercial photographer based in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, serving clients throughout the region, the United States, and Canada. Steve works with architects, interior designers, landscape architects and designers, engineers, contractors, and design|build firms. His work is divided almost evenly between exteriors and interiors, as well as commercial and residential projects. His clients primarily include companies involved in law, accounting, banking, financial advisory, engineering, construction, and other professional services. His work includes studio portraits, In Your Space™ portraits of people in the business environment, and captured moments of people at work. Steve’s work is framed around his slogan:  Visual Narratives:  People, Places, and Spaces. His approach to every project is to find the story that will best illustrate his client’s intention. He embraces a collaborative approach with his clients because he knows their vision will leverage his images to a higher level. As one client said, “If you want to be remarkable, get SILVERMAN.” Steve graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and a major in accounting. Steve initially worked as a photo journalist for more than 30 Philadelphia-area newspapers. A random encounter and a surprise blue ribbon helped shape his career as a photographer. On a trip to Scotland, he came upon a bagpiper in full regalia playing his instrument alongside the road. Steve asked the bagpiper to pose for him. Months later, he built up enough courage to enter several photos in the State Fair to see how his work would fare when it was objectively judged by others. He was pleased to find out all of them had received some recognition but was surprised to discover his bagpiper photo won the grand champion award. He was surprised, not because he hadn't developed confidence in his photography, but because he did not submit the photo—his wife did! Steve's diverse career has included several stops along the way. He brought Monte Zucker's pioneering style of photojournalistic wedding photography to the Midwest, transforming this genre. He mentored under Gerry Kopelow, considered one of North America's foremost architectural photographers. As a landscape photographer, he collaborated with his wife Robin Silverman to produce the hard cover coffee table book, The Land of Tranquility: Visions of the Secret Beauty of North Dakota. This book has sold in all 50 states and 37 foreign countries. In addition, his images have appeared in numerous books and magazines.
