Photographer David Ulrich is author of several books, including his newest release: 'The Mindful Photographer - Awake in the world with a camera'. David's new book shows how photography can be an inner practice, that leads you, more fully into a rich engagement with the world, and a platform for sharing your questions, observations, and discoveries. It’s both a way of light and a way of life.

Joe McNally has been writing a book for the last two years. He’s been thinking about it for the last five. And living it for the last 40, as an internationally acclaimed photographer whose award-winning work has appeared in numerous magazines, including National Geographic, Time, LIFE, Sports Illustrated, and more. In The Real Deal: Field Notes from the Life of a Working Photographer, McNally, a Nikon Ambassador, tells you how it all started in 1976 as a Daily News copyboy (“the wretched dog of the newsroom”), and candidly shares stories, lessons, and insights he has collected along the way. The Real Deal is not a dedicated how-to book about “where to put the light,” though there is instructional information to be gleaned here. Instead, it's simply a collection of candid “field notes”—some short, some quite long—gathered over time that, together, become an intimate look behind the lens at a photographer who has pretty much seen and done it all.

Alex Stoddard is a conceptual portrait photographer living in Los Angeles, California. Born and raised in rural Georgia, he was inspired by his surroundings and rural isolation, & began taking self-portraits as a teenager. Photography became a means of escape, allowing him to construct elaborate scenes and step into the role of different characters through costumes and posing. He explores concepts of fantasy and surrealism within portraiture, as well as the human form and its connection to nature. He is entirely self-taught and relies on his eye and natural instinct when creating. Alex has also just released his debut book titled INSEX, in which he explores the parallels between metamorphosis in the natural world and human coming-of-age. Through staged, highly stylized images, Stoddard invites viewers into a colorfully dark world of budding sexuality and crawling insects.

Quintavius Oliver is an Atlanta based fine art and documentary photographer who uses his engaging portraits as a means of self exploration and sensitive storytelling. He acquired his first camera at the age of six from his grandmother and immediately began to document his ever expanding world without a second thought. Completely self-taught and ready to take on the world with his camera while raising his daughter as a single father, Quintavius spent much of his twenties documenting community uprisings against police brutality towards Black Americans and exploring his own generational traumas as a young black man through his lens. Occasionally, he would get a break to travel to places like India or Cuba to explore and experience places that he was told he would never live long enough to see because of the stereotypes that surround young black men. Now, still with a camera in hand, Quintavius has made it his mission to see and photograph people honestly and wholly as he creates a safe space for self-expression and vulnerability through his passion for photography.
