In today's fast paced world,
we are more apt to react to a favourable, fascinating image, rather that
taking the time to read a half page of text, describing the features of
a particular product. Very few photographers have the ability to grasp
what the company is trying to portray and then come up with a photograph
that will catch the reader's eye, as they flip the pages of a magazine,
or drive by a billboard at 70 miles per hour. We are honored to have some
of the most exciting commercial photographers in the world, as members
of our exclusive site.

Introducing Ayhan in few
words is really no easy task, since he's no ordinary photographer
but a truly multi-talented person, combining a composer/song writer,
a blues & jazz guitarist, an artist and a filmmaker all in one.
Long before digital imaging was available,
Ayhan had a reputation in producing highly intriguing images applying
in-camera-composition and motion-control techniques, blended together
with his "Magical Mystery Torch"¨ lighting system,
which aroused attention and recognition world-wide.
Today, with the high-end digital studio
at his command, it's no surprise that he turns out even more intriguing
eye-catchers, which do not necessarily reveal the typical computer
effects look. Images which do look computerized, may in fact be
straight-forward shots and those which might look ever so simple
and shot off the hip could be the result of a long day's shooting
plus extensive but carefully balanced digital manipulation.
It's always a great pleasure working with
this humorous person and a relief to know that no matter how difficult
and challenging the task, Ayhan will come up with a perfectly satisfactory
solution, masterfully executed.

"I take my commercial commitments very seriously.
My commercial work reflects a stile of my artwork of
this particular time. But there the similarity ends.
I don't mix commercial ideas with art ideas.
They have completely different purposes.
Commercial ideas are light and are to sell the product.
I try to make them classy, mysterious
and most of all eye-catching.
There is nothing light about my art images.
I dive deep for inspiration. " -Misha Gordin

David Mendelsohn's work has a
life of its own. It catches your eye, grabs hold of your soul,
and pulls you deep into its framework, so that ultimately
you feel as the image. You become aware if the rain splattering
off your back as you strain to read the headlines on a taxi
driver's newspaper. You can smell the characteristic aroma
of the burning cigar, held perfectly poised in the wrinkled
hand of a green-clad man with a white mustache. You marvel
at how much this man resembles the stark white skull on the
wall beside him. Or, perhaps, how much they differ. No matter,
certainly they belong together.
Well
known for his highly graphic, award-winning commercial photography,
Mendelsohn did not start his professional career behind a
camera. " I came to photography through a rather indirect
path," he recalls. "I always had some interest in
the medium after my dad gave me his old Argus C3, around my
12th birthday, I toyed with the camera and a makeshift dark
room to some degree, but it was simply another one of my interests."
The Art of Expression Mendelsohn's
acute sense of graphic design and his use of color and balance
are what makes work so intriguing. Although his commercial
work is primarily color, he also has a love for Black and
White. "When one shoots color and black-and-white, two
distinct mindset are required," he observed. "Black
and White is about pure form and tonality, and quite beautiful
in its simplicity. To appreciate a black-and-white image,
you are forced to remove yourself from this world and transport
your perceptions to another. It borders on the surreal. As
most of us see in color, you are compelled as both the viewer
and the artist to see things in a different way. |
