Residing in Salamanac, Spain, Tomas Serrano studied architecture in Madrid. Drawing, however, was a passion since he could remember. Inspired by Disney’s animated shorts and '70s Spanish comic authors, Tomas was soon busy creating his own characters. He has drawn cartoons and caricatures for many Spanish newspapers. He is also a political cartoonist and caricaturist for El Español, a Spanish online newspaper. Tomas has written and directed several video shorts and completed his first animated music video for the singer, Sarabeth Tucek, in 2013.  
Jeff Zaruba is a commercial and fine art photographer specializing in architecture, hospitality, and travel and is also known for his worldwide experience and beautifully crafted images. Raised in Chicago with an avid interest in architecture, Jeff’s life took a turn with a move to Arizona at age 19, where he discovered the great landscapes of the West and a love for the arts and photography, in which he earned his degree. Jeff’s photographic style is defined by an artful appreciation for the shape, space, and composition of natural and manmade forms, an aesthetic that has been refined over a thirty-year career. Strongly influence by travel, Jeff is a citizen of the world, but calls Petaluma, California home.  
For more than twenty years, Aaron Rezny has combined his talent and intense passion for food and still-life photography into an unparalleled collaborative experience with his clientele. Specializing in crisp, detailed lighting, and eminently edible appetite-appeal, his photographs have consistently surpassed the expectations of world-class editorial, advertising, and corporate clients. Aaron's photography has appeared in Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, New York magazine, and the Wall Street Journal, in addition to major campaigns for Nestlé, Duncan Hines, Kellogg's, Russell Stover, Nabisco, and Applebee's, among many other major brands. Rezny’s personal project, EATING DELANCEY, a series of images that represent the flavors of his youth in New York City, has seen exhibitions all over the country. The recently published book by the same name, includes images from the series, as well as personal food and neighborhood remembrances by major writers and other celebrities, namely, Joan Rivers, Milton Glaser, and Lou Reed.  
Johnny Autry began making photographs at age 14, with an ancient speed graphic camera with a broken shutter. He's since sorted that out! After working in the studio for eight years with many food oriented clients, he's out shooting travel and portraiture more often than not.  
Thomas Kuoh derives his visual aesthetic from fragments of his memories. That is why there is a strong narrative to his work. Through his open demeanor he puts his subjects at ease, allowing for those authentic in-between moments. There is also a dimensional, dreamy quality of light that harkens back to Renaissance paintings and the Dutch Masters. With over 17 years of commercial photography experience, Thomas has mastered the technical craft of creating imagery and shaping light on demand. With his passion for classical aesthetics, the result is a soulful and richly textured lifestyle with a dash of fantasy, all while flirting with intrigue, dark corners, and adverse emotions. Thomas prides himself on taking care of each other as the main objective above all else. Within this container, creativity has room to grow and shine to its fullest.  
Originally from Charleston, South Carolina, Jody Horton has called Austin, Texas home for more than 10 years.  Prior to refocusing on photography a few years ago, he worked as a writer and editor and as a one-man documentary film production company that had no financial future whatsoever. He studied English (BA) and Ethnology (MA) and would go back to school to study architecture if the human lifespan were longer. His interest in culture led him to travel extensively and to live in Southeast Asia and Costa Rica, but he is glad now to live in the middle of the most badass state in the country. For his lifelong love of them, and to honor his South Carolina roots, Jody aspires to be the world's premier oyster photographer.
