Christian Brecheis counters the increasingly staged, artificial sport and lifestyle photographs with an unbeatable strategy: naturalness. An enthusiastic athlete himself, Brecheis approaches the genre with an exceptional sensitivity for the body and the engagement of men and women with nature. His photographs communicate joy, passion, and a natural lightness, and in them, the boundary between sport and lifestyle becomes fluid. Christian Brecheis was born in 1980 in Munich. His interest in photography grew out of his passion for snowboarding and his curiosity about the invisible motion sequences behind them. After working in marketing, he decided to devote himself entirely to photography. He has remained faithful to his hometown Munich, where he lives with his family. He goes snowboarding as much as possible.

Cameron Davidson started shooting at fourteen when he found an old Agfa Isolate camera in the closet of his home. For his first few years in photography, he kept his feet on the ground, shooting wildlife, people, and landscapes, until he was commissioned to photograph Great Blue Herons from a blind sixty feet up in an oak tree overlooking a rookery in southern Maryland. He was fascinated to see the world from their viewpoint. He wanted to tell stories from above to capture the beauty and graphic compositions the world has to offer. From above a heronry, he moved on to airplanes and then found his new home, the back seat of a turbine helicopter. Today he photographs aerials, landscapes, and people for a mix of advertising, corporate, and editorial clients.
