Dawn Cooper graduated from the Bath School of Art & Design in 2011 with a First Class degree in Graphic Communication. Dawn’s work is heavily inspired by natural history and botanical illustrations, as well as things she has read or seen on her travels. She is also a great lover of quotations, and telling stories through a singular image. Dawn draws everything by hand in her sketchbook before assembling her drawings on screen to make multi-layered illustrations with lots of digital color and texture. Their densely patterned layers are often likened to traditional print-making and mark-making.  
John Romeo is a native Philadelphian and award-winning Photographer/Director with 25 years of experience in commercial, advertising and editorial imagery. His work has been featured in national ad campaigns and editorial accounts that have afforded him the opportunity to work in various locations throughout the world. But it’s New York and Philadelphia where he prefers to play and host the majority of his clients. The expansion of his craft into directing motion brings a fresh new look to the category. His creativity, lighting and attention to detail put everything front and center in a very natural and intimate way, making viewers feel as if they are taking part in the experience. Over the past decade, his client base has shifted heavily towards the food and beverage industry, many of which he hosts regularly at his studio in the heart of Philadelphia's colorful Italian Market.

David Syke's talent for photography was nurtured while studying Graphic Design at college. Upon completion of a photography degree in Kent, David moved to London to assist the successful advertising photographer David Stewart. A year later, David went on to win the AOP Still Life Assistant Award (1998). From then on, despite full-time assisting on shoots around the world, David was in demand, and receiving a number of his own commissions. In 2001 he decided to go it alone, and he was subsequently featured once again in the AOP Awards with his Pig series in 2001 and his Faux food series in 2010. Other awards include a feature in four D & AD awards, being included in the 2009 campaign photo awards, and in the creative review photography awards 4 times. He has been a busy, successful advertising photographer ever since, notching up an impressive client list.

With Filipino and European roots, and with freckles from head to toe, Jennifer Maravillas feels as if she's on a detective-like quest to understand as many different perspectives as possible. Her roots as an artist, meanwhile, go back to her training in ballet as a child. She sees her art as a kind of ballet performed on paper using a marker. The techniques Jennifer uses are constantly changing, and her style often comes as a result of the medium she's exploring at a given time. By and large she's a mixed media artist, always trying new materials and combinations. Jennifer received an undergraduate degree is in Graphic Design at the University of Louisville and a graduate degree is in Mass Communication at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Mikkel Vang’s story began in Copenhagen and has taken him to New York via Melbourne and now all across the globe. For Mikkel, his work has always been about storytelling and light; setting up a scene like a film set and searching for that perfect image, again and again. It’s that quest for flawless light and a real moment that makes an image feel believable while also adding a touch of sophistication. He finds inspiration everywhere: people, cars, airplanes, hot air balloons, boats, coffee, dreaming, landscapes, architecture, and living. It’s a lot of early mornings, a lot of late nights, and a lot of very big lights. It’s his passion and it’s how he loves to tell his story.

Joseph McDermott is a Philadelphia, USA based illustrator with a background in art history. He creates Pop Art illustrations, employing a vintage comic book style to capture his subjects. His work is created entirely digitally with Illustrator and Photoshop. Joe Mcdermott's aesthetic developed from a childhood spent lost in the pages of Spider-Man and X-Men comics mixed with the mature influence of 1960s Pop Art. He is as much influenced by Jack Kirby as he is Roy Lichtenstein, while diverging from the traditional techniques of his predecessors in favor of digital illustration. When not working, Joe can still be found pouring over his favorite comics.  
In a time when most were consumed with cartoons and adolescent awkwardness, Michael Haskins, armed with a camera, knew he wanted to shoot things. Legally, of course. And sans bullets. His love of scrap metal, monster mowers and most importantly, food, has resulted in a smorgasborg of award-winning photography. Served hot and fresh since 1992. If it can be cooked, sliced, diced, sipped, chewed or puréed, Michael shoots it. And if it can fit through the door of his Deep Ellum studio, he'll shoot that, too. Note: It's a pretty big door. Full kitchen, latest equipment, extensive prop room, lattes, good music and conversation are all part of the package. When he's not behind the lens, you can spot Michael making bottle trees, depleting the lake of fish, or trying to one up MacGyver. (Just don't call him MacHaskins.)

Lucy Schaeffer was a painter and printmaker before discovering she preferred photography for telling stories. Five years as a photo editor at Food & Wine magazine trained her eye to see the yummiest aspects of every dish and bring that out in every food shot. Lucy is just as comfortable shooting kids in muddy puddles as she is lighting a highly technical drink shot in the studio. She sees both as part of the same whole - showing life well lived. Her photography captures real moments full of boldness, whimsy, and color. She lives with her husband and two daughters in Brooklyn, NY.
