Living and working up and down California since 1997, I've maintained a residence in Los Angeles for the last 15 years.

Blending influences from cinema, literature, and street photography, my productions often focus around a single, wide image of a distinct location, telling stories of multiple characters in a single frame. 

While large scale, Tableaux Vivants have become a cornerstone in my approach, I continue to apply the narrative tradition to a range of applications in portraiture and motion pictures.

Ben came of age in the city’s burgeoning post-9/11 downtown scene and honed his craft amidst artists, filmmakers, musicians, and designers that continue to set the tone for what’s cool today. He brings a personal point of view to his work into the intersection of brand and boutique being a world he has been part of his whole life.

Chelsea Slayter grew up seeped in surf culture, salt water, and Springsteen as a local kid living on the Jersey Shore. The architecture of her work comes from her interests in journalism and cinema, using her talent for collaborating with first time performers to create work that has heart and soul. She’s worked with a wide range of athletes, artists, musicians, and actors to create character-driven work for brands like Blundstone, Instagram, America’s Cup Challenger American Magic, US Olympic Sailing, Pilgrim Surf + Supply, and Tombolo. After hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated the US Virgin Islands, Chelsea was commissioned by TOPIC to develop, write, and direct the limited docuseries Passing Storms. The episodes put a new spotlight on climate change, viewing it through the perspective of an overlooked island community attempting to celebrate their annual carnival amidst the devastation. Chelsea also produced the music and surf doc Self Discovery For Social Survival, nominated as ‘Best Movie of the Year’ by SURFER magazine.

Noa Griffel is a Brooklynite who began working professionally at 14. She was discovered by Lyor Cohen after her first shoot at Atlantic Records. He famously called Noa at 7am after seeing her photographs and said “Good morning, I’m gonna make you fucking huge...”

Her work is a collision of technical skill and other-world-ism that is as beautiful as it can be offhand. Light and color are her preferred vehicles. Whether the subject is captured in filmic grain or set in sharp relief, her photos contain both an ease and intentionality that is as difficult to achieve as it is easy to like.

Noa went on to become the photographer at large for Tory Burch for 15 years. She has shot campaigns for clients such as Estee Lauder, Youtube, Conde Nast, DKNY, Vogue, Michael Kors and many more. She has worked with actors and musicians like Uma Thurman, J Balvin, Rashida Jones, Zoey Deutsch and many more.

With work published in every major US fashion publication, Noa’s range spans editorial, documentary, campaign, product, e-commerce, and digital manipulation. Multimedia collage is another part of her practice.

Tyler Ash is a Los Angeles based photographer specializing in lifestyle and beauty, often collaborating with his wife and longtime creative collaborator Amanda Merten.

Growing up in Venice Beach, surfing and skating in his childhood years and spending most of his time at the beach, he brings his point of view to his love of the city of Venice and Los Angeles - an ever changing place - trying to capture moments and nostalgia in a constantly evolving and gentrifying city. Getting sober at a young age when options and life choices were limited, photography was a chance to channel energy into a positive place and lens his point of view through his portraits.
