SOPHIE KERN

I am a dead unicorn, shame my horn is floppy (that sounds terrible!) Anyway, what gets me up in the morning..? well, I guess ...I like trying to make pictures of things that no one could have possibly seen before. I'm not massively into drawing from observation. Why say 'this is a picture of my dinner', when you can say 'this is a picture of a headless lady surrounded by luminous ghosts preparing a banquet of edible pants'. That's much more exciting, I think. Does that make sense? - makes perfect sense Sophie! Anyway...hope you are well and have got over your hyper intergalactic wonderthon. Take it easy, SOPHIE x

VAUGHAN BAKER

"I'm from Worcester but that place sucks, so I moved to London like everyone else! I never went to College or University, instead I willed away my time SKATEBOARDING which has seen me through life so far, alongside this I've always kept sketch books and painted. My works generally influenced by moods and music." - VAUGHAN, it's like getting blood out of a fuckin' stone.

VALERIE PHILLIPS

Let's here it for VALERIE!... "I just try to keep everything I do, whether it's client work or personal stuff, as close to one another as possible. That way people or companies I work for know that it's Valerie Phillips' work." Erasing the boundary between commercial work and fine art photography is one of the reasons she is so prolific at both. She has self published four books to date, and has had another recently published titled I CAN'T BELIEVE A GIRL IS PLAYING ME METALLICA. She also runs an art project disguised as a skateboard outfit called CHERRYVALE SKATEBOARD COMPANY with her sterling partner JASON GORMLEY

Part of what makes her work so appealing to fashion clients is that she's not overly concerned with fashion or the trappings of being an in demand photographer. "I'm only interested in the pictures. Lighting, stylists, hair, make up and all the rest are integral to a shoot but I try to let them do their thing so I can concentrate on capturing the image in front of me." This laser-sighting allows her to focus on seeing those authentic moments that define her surprising, supremely natural images.

Beyond photography, Valerie loves horses and the moon and outer space pursuits and making books. When she's shooting she's usually armed with a Leica Minilux point and click camera or a digital Hasselblad. She makes her bed in New York and London but can't wait for any time she can spend in Hong Kong or Kansas. She's our kind of strong woman... inspiring us with the passion she brings to her work, her sharp eye, and her determination to do it her way.

TOBY SHUALL

TOBY SHUALL is a self taught practitioner, haunted by the woods of Pinner near his folks house where he grew up, and the 'Lostalots' that inhabit this ever increasingly sparse naturalistic realm. From his home in London Toby runs SUBURBAN BLISS which began in his parents home, but was conceived in Northern California. The company itself is inspired by nature, music, art, friendship, love, dreams and independence from the ever increasingly controlled world that we inhabit. The main aim of the label is to put out new imagery on to clothing and other stuff. Largely featuring Toby's work and others like NICOLA PECORARO, FERGADELIC, JETHRO HAYNES, NIK TAYLOR and SIMON PEPLOW. The images and themes are ever evolving as is the company itself.

SIMON TRUE

SIMON TRUE IS A LEGEND! now this term is bandied about a little to often for my comfortability, but for Simon this label is deservedly justified. He doesn't have a website, because people just know, yes they just know.

SIMON PEPLOW

SIMON PEPLOW lives within a delicately constructed vortex. He spends the majority of his days downloading information from a tiny cabin situated inside the Corpus Callosum region of his noggin. Characters are a fundamental part of his work, described by some as whimsical, cute and sinister in equal measures. He just wishes they were his friends. Simon co-founded the OUTCROWD COLLECTIVE after graduating from the Birmingham Institute of Art & Design in 2004, and continues to work as a freelance illustrator in the real realm.
