Bo then relocated to Cape Town, South Africa. After a short visit back in Sweden Bo moved to Los Angeles where he opened his own studio and started working as a still life photographer. He accomplished several jobs for the advertising agency Chiat\/Day (TBWA), the two biggest account being Apple and Nissan\/ Infiniti. More car accounts followed. Bo has for the last twenty years, been working for a number of major ad agencies and car accounts that has been shot all over the world. Bo Hylén focuses on shooting car advertisements that depict his fondness of motion and dynamics. His photographs resemble imposing paintings, in which vehicles and landscapes form a whole and evoke the impression of wild animals in their natural surroundings rather than cars. Unlike any other photographer, Hylén visually communicates the idea of the pleasure of driving, and has molded his unique style into the visual language of contemporary automobile advertisement. Recently Bo has had two exhibitions of his private work. 2008 in Berlin and 2009 in Stockholm.
\r\nBo now lives in Europe. He moved to France and has also an office in Stockholm.

Rouvre was born in Paris in 1967 and studied photography at the Louis Lumière College. He graduated at the age of twenty and soon after began his career as photo editor and reportage photographer for the French national press. For the past twenty years, his striking celebrity portraits have graced hundreds of international magazines including GQ, GEO, Elle, New York Times magazine and Vanity Fair Italy. Besides his better-known work in the celebrity world, Rouvre has put together photographic essays on such varied subjects as Senegalese wrestlers, addictions and wandering monks. His work has been presented in many collective and solo exhibitions worldwide including his collaborations with painter David Nal-vad.
\r\n
\r\nThe key to Rouvre’s success lies in his interest in getting beyond the recognised public personae of celebrities. In his portraits, Rouvre controls the external factors and allows his subjects to be themselves, revealing another, usually unexpected side. Rouvre received the second prize in the category Sports Feature Stories at the prestigious World Press Photo 2010.

Both of his parents were illustrators working from home and Dylan spent his youth surrounded by imagery, airbrushes, enlargers and printing ink.
This heritage clearly shaped his fascination for art and aesthetics; but before he embarked on his photography course at college, he pursued a 6-year-long musical career as bass player. Dylan Collard won several prizes during his photographic studies culminating in an extensive journey through California after which he settled in London where he worked for five years as a freelance assistant.
Dylan's photographs resemble cinematic scenes, without alluding to a distinct semantic context: the compositions raise questions rather than provide explicit information. Looking at the scenes Dylan creates, a viewer will intuitively engage in the process of questioning and constructing narratives as the ambivalent, mysterious and often eerie atmosphere of his images trigger inspiration. He captures dehumanised spaces, void and sterile, which he refurnishes with a certain, vibrantly melancholic and surreal air.
Since 2006\/07 Dylan Collard has concentrated on personal work with the aim of moving the book more towards advertising, looking more at staged\/theatrical\/narrative side of his work.

In 1985 he set up his own studio. From the outset his work was characterized by taut, carefully created compositions in which light plays a major role. This working method, his pursuance of perfection, is not so much the result of his study, but more a way of viewing and registering the world around him which is self-evident to him. His first contact with advertising agencies, which required that he develop a distinctly specific approach to a wide range of different of commissions, gave rise to his fascination with further expanding the possibilities afforded by technique and content-related insight. This frequently resulted and today still results in a baroque, sometimes even surrealistic undertone to his work, particularly his non-commissioned oeuvre. Taking stock after the thousands of pictures he has made in the course of the years, his fascination with continually seeking out new challenges both in terms of technique and content is probably the greatest motive for his work. Schreurs is never on the automatic pilot and always open to new ideas, new techniques and new grounds, such as animation. Definitely not one for dogmatically working on a univocal oeuvre, he gets a thrill out of courting adventure, both in his choice of commissions and in his non-commissioned work.
\r\n
\r\n“Working with the best designers, art directors, industrial designers, curators and artists ensures that you receive the feedback you need. Together they form your best soundboard and guarantee of quality. The dialogue slowly but surely helps the work increase in strength.“
\r\n
\r\n“It is vital to be well-prepared. At the time of shooting, proper preparations allow you to deviate from the established path. Good preparations provide security and more freedom to experiment. And it is often the experiments that yield the most surprising results.”
\r\n
\r\n“Creating non-commissioned work is essential to continuous renewal. It helps you take the right decisions about the content of your work and ensures the visual intentness of that formulated.”

\r\nJulia makes thoroughly elaborate pictures appear effortless and authentic. Her unique point of view adds something lasting and special to her commercial work and this approach distinguishes her as a remarkable photographer.
\r\n
\r\nShe is not only a master in her field but also a genuinely nice person. Needless to be said, her photography is above reproach and highly in demand worldwide.

\r\nJULIA FULLERTON-BATTEN was born in Germany and grew up in the United States and Germany. When she was sixteen she moved to England. Since then she has travelled extensively throughout the world. These visits provided plenty of picture material as well as an insight into different cultures. After studying Photography she did work experience with Vogue Magazine, London, where she went on some interesting shoots with wellknown fashion photographers. Then came five years of freelance assisting a wide variety of different photographers. At this point she thought it was time to start looking through the camera herself as a professional, she spent two months travelling in Vietnam. She returned to London with some interesting still-live observations; she was fortunate enough to win a number of Awards with these images. These enhanced her marketing efforts and she got her first big comission: to shoot a cigarette campaign in Australia.

From this point, he discovered his fascination for converting light and perspectives into images. For his studies, he left his home Swabia to attend the Folkwang Hochschule (Folkwang University) in Essen, eventually ending up in Düsseldorf where he now resides and works.
\r\nTillmann Franzen’s photography impresses through his manifold choice of topics. Instead of focussing on one particular theme, according to the photographer himself, it is “blanks showing a non-verbalised space, oscillating between the projection of the viewer and the portrayed” that appeal to him. The focus hereby lies on what exists behind what you actually see. These can be full stories or simply atmospheres or associations.
\r\nFranzen takes the inspiration for his images from his extensive travels, but also from his immediate surroundings, everyday life and studying photography and the arts. His approach is as varied and multiple as his choice of topics. While Franzen likes to plan ahead when it comes to commissions, he prefers to go with the flow in his personal work, with the important element here being the thought and the message.
