Simon O Dwyer has been with The Age for eleven years covering news and features. His style of photography is very emotive and not typical of newspaper photography. It is subtle, immediate and powerful and connected to the human condition.

"Life is a mystery. What we do is a privilege. It encompasses the whole spectrum of the human condition. You form powerful and intense mini-relationships with people you ve never met before. And you get paid for it. I ve got the best life in the world."

Bronywn Kidd graduated from RMIT in the late 80 s.
In the early 90 s she moved to London and established a stellar career shooting fashion and advertising in one of the toughest world markets.
Bronwyn is currently back in Australia, shooting for major fashion, editorial and advertising accounts in Melbourne and Sydney.

Richard White lives in Australia in the North East Victorian town of Mansfield. He has been involved in photography for over 20 years.. Basically a self taught photographer his work has been influenced by many photographers. Ansel Adams, Morley Baer, Brett Weston, Wynn Bullock, Galen Rowell, John Sexton, Bruce Barnbaum.

He is a master B+W printer, writes regular articles for Better Photography magazine and conducts photography workshops in Australia and New Zealand.
He exhibits and is well known for his high quality landscape photographs. Each year he offers a large format Black and White calendar on the High Country, produces a range of black & white postcards and has worked on major documentary projects for television

In wedding photography, there are a handful of practitioners who set the trends, and a multitude of imitators who try to jump on board the style wagon. Jerry Ghionis is undoubtedly one of the former. With a string of Australian and international awards to his credit, studios in Melbourne and Sacramento California, and with plans well advanced for further expansion to other Australian capitals, the USA and UK, Jerry and his team epitomise professionalism and dedication to maintaining their creative edge.
