Rachel Hulin has a nice interview with Lincoln on her popular photography blog. Read the post
to see the grizzly bear skin rug wearing a fedora from Lebanon. In addition to what they discuss,
Lincoln enjoys traveling, cooking, running, cycling and snowboarding with his wife, Lauren.

Not many people can say they went to high school with Marilyn Manson (Michael knew him as
the shy "Brian Warner"). Burn Magazine, curated by Magnum photographer David Alan Harvey,
recently showcased Michael’s emotional project about a family’s reaction to terminal cancer.

Communication Arts Photography Annual featured Aaron’s portrait of novelist Ross Campbell,
as posted on our blog. Aaron has a BFA in Photo-Illustration from R.I.T. When asked what his
hobbies are, he (half) jokes: "meeting client deadlines and delivering projects within budget."

She’s owned 58 working cameras. As Katherine puts it, she "grew up in her daddy’s darkroom
in Memphis, Tennessee." She loves Elvis, Martin Luther King, white beer, and black-eyed peas.
Also boasts about making a mean pesto. She’s even done the Balinese Monkey Dance.

 

Yes, But Do Your Photographers Have 3D Glasses, Skiing Santas and Foosball Doctors?

From Daniel’s website bio: "As a boy, a camera fell out of the sky and landed on my head.
When I came to, it was permanently attached to my face. I thought I should probably roll with it."
We’re glad he did. Whimsical nature also comes across in blog posts: see him playing in traffic.

Seattle-born. Lives across the street from where he grew up (his dad still lives there).
Enjoys that his kids can see their grandfather any time. With the kids and his photography,
he doesn’t have much time for hobbies. And that’s just fine.

Stephen Webster / Cincinnati

His work was once described in a PDN article as "a head on collision between René Magritte,
a View Master and The Brady Bunch." Look at his memorable photo illustrations to see why.
Most photographers have a portfolio to share: Stephen also has an "Unportfolio". See it here.

Usable factoid: has better understanding of client needs because he once was one! Worked for
years as photo editor and art buyer, so he especially appreciates the need to stay under
budget. Plus, he’s never missed a deadline. Work just appeared in this tasty looking cookbook.

Started taking photos when he was a kid. Big music fan who took his camera to shows.
Studied photography in Brisbane. Lived in London for a few years. Now resides in Sydney.

Jeff Padrick / Denver

Born in New Mexico. Attended art school in Texas. Not so fond of Texas (aside from clients).
Moved to Denver. Carried bags for photographers. Started shooting. Got married. Had two
great kids. Lost hair. Got a great daylight studio. Life’s good. Except for the hair part.

Stephen Voss / Washington DC

"…It seemed perfectly normal that this couple was letting a complete stranger into their lives for
the sole purpose of taking photos." Voss’ bio page says it better than we can. Photo essay on
Chinese pollution appeared in book introduced by Robert Redford. Good tearsheets on his blog.
