Coley Brown was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and moved to New York after studying photography and industrial design at Savannah College of Art and Design. His work is a stream-of-conciousness from month after month on the road from far corners of the United States and Europe. His work uses landscape as a starting point and moves in and out of abstraction, with people.

In 2008, Coley released his first monograph, entitled Jam Jelly Honey Wild Rice. In 2009 he had his first solo exhibition in Osaka, Japan and has since exhibited in the United States, Europe, and Japan. In early 2012 his third monograph, A Recurring Dream, will be released and he plans to build his own color darkroom.

When he is not traveling across the country shooting photographs of his experiences, Coley edits photographs in Brooklyn and performs with his two-piece experimental metal band.

Coley has collaborated with clients such as Converse, Sup Magazine, Lad Musician and Pig Magazine.

Florent Routoulp is a French photographer based in Paris. His work is the celebration of the male youth, a way to show the power and the hopelessness of a young man searching to find the birth of his identity and sexuality. Florent's under-construction universe is fed by humor, cynicism, nudity, smooth, vivid colors, and the sometimes aggressiveness and pessimism of a child of the MTV Generation and internet messenger loves.

Florent has exhibited in several European cities including Berlin, Basel, Milan, London and Paris and he has been represented by the Daeppen Gallery since 2009. Before graduating with a Master of Visual Arts in 2011, Florent worked with Help Teen Association.

As a young artist, Florent worked under the artist name and pseudonym Chocolat-Poire, or “Chocolate-Pear.” The name aptly described the two sides of his visual art in gastronomical terms: acidic, smooth and dark, light. Among the many magazines he has collaborated with are Candy, Purple, Fanzine 137, La Revue Monstre and Vice, who described Florent and his photos simply as, "skateboarders, penises and strawberries".

Gosha Rubchinskiy employs multiple artistic techniques (photo / video / elegant sportswear) as well as multiple channels (gallery / print / fashion) to express a very singular pre-occupation: Russians whose birth calendar begins at 1991. Expressing the under-portrayed mentality of the Post-Soviet youth generation, Rubchinskiy sees his cohort re-appropriating Western/Capitalist culture in a very exclusive and peculiar Russian way. In his work, orthodoxy meets black metal, sport, and skate. Visually documenting the confrontation between Russian religious roots and Rubchinskiy’s so-called “Post-Soviet mentality”, he also lays his hope.

In addition to developing his clothing line, Gosha continues to direct films like his "Sestroretsk" and "Slave." His work has appeared in DUST, POP, 032c, I-D, Dazed and Confused, L'Officiel Hommes, VMAN, Apartamento, Vice, and AnOther magazine.

Born to a Swiss father and Chinese mother, Jeff Hahn grew up in Switzerland, Taiwan, New Zealand and Hong Kong before moving to London where he currently resides. Having just completed his BA in Photography at the London College of Communication, Jeff spends his time freelancing mainly in the fields of fashion and portraiture.

Aside from shooting for magazines such as Dazed & Confused, i-D, Hero, Nylon, Tank and Wonderland, he has also worked with designers including Fleet Ilya, Hussein Chalayan and Versace and has exhibited internationally in Hong Kong, London and New York. His creative vision expands beyond photography, with his recent passion turning towards creating bespoke headpieces and accessories for magazines such as Dansk, Italian Vogue and Numero.

With a passion for intimacy in photography, Jeff enjoys staging or capturing these intricate moments, be it for editorials or for his personal work. For Jeff, a memory doesn’t exist unless there is a captured still from which to remember it by. He has recently published a book of portraits exploring the idea of staged vs. reality within photography, which can be found in NY stores like Printed Matter, Spoonbill & Sugartown, London regulars including Claire de Rouen, Donlon and Opening Ceremony, and various other stores / bookfairs.

Although relaxing stresses Jeff out, when not working he can often be found at local coffee shops, at the pub with friends or in bed re-watching old episodes of Charmed and Ally McBeal.

Justin Tyler Close has worked as a professional photographer for the past six years, gaining notoriety for his unique and intimate approach behind the lens. Primarily working with film and Polaroid cameras, Justin chooses to shoot with film, believing it stimulates the spontaneity and magic of the process, and fuels a more meaningful conversation between photographer and subject. Justin believes photography is about conveying the feelings generated by that bond through images, shining light on sensual but ephemeral moments that would otherwise be lost forever.

In addition to his photography, Justin is the Founder, Editor-in-Chief, and Creative Director of The Lab Magazine, an international arts and culture publication. He founded the company three years ago to provide audiences with exciting and evocative content, build a like-minded creative network, and create a wider platform for his photography.

Mandy-Lyn is a photographer and DJ based in Vancouver, Canada. From an early age she favored film and music, probably influenced by her father, a rock musician and her mother, an exotic dancer. Growing up, she and her family frequently moved as she shuffled between her parents. Somewhere in between, her creativity set its own path, and as she developed her talent as a photographer, she found a place to be free.

The Vancouver press dubbed Mandy-Lyn "The Wild Child". Also a resident DJ, you'll find the black haired, goggly eyed photographer, spinning classic party jams on vinyl at the Waldorf's Tiki Bar every Friday night for Blow-Up.

Photography is truth and fantasy in equal and genuine measures making the perfect art and the finest life's work, according to Mandy-Lyn. She's capturing an idealized, absolutely real but unreal composition of beautiful babes, great music, gonzo photojournalism, fast cars and surreal landscapes to create a perfect art of memory and beauty.

Charged with emotion, her work is both a representation of her subject matter as much as herself.

Originally from the south coast of Brittany in France, Yann was raised in the eighties and fed by the subliminal and intriguing memories of images, videos and editorial works of talented people such as Goude and Mondino.

Yann is a listener, a reader and a silent observer. Always interested in the world of images, Yann was finally reacquainted with them after spending some time in the rigorous world of science, incubating in labs at university for 6 years 2 months and 11 days.

After university he started photography, enrolled in an association to promote photography and did pinhole camera workshops for kids.

In the meantime, Yann developed his own core of work based on personal, grounded portraits and worked as a photographer for the communication department of a French institution.

On the 26th of March 2009, Yann turned his back on his native culture and crashed in London--on his own, with no contacts, with only four cameras and a couple of pair of underwear to look hip and cool underneath.

Since then his works has been steadily showed or commissioned in some publications: GRANTA, Seventh Man and Oh Comely. Yann collaborates with TANK and Because Magazine.
