Sharon Draghi

Her work has been exhibited at Foley Gallery, Filter Photo, Woman Made Gallery and at the Julia Margaret Cameron Awards in Barcelona. She has been featured in several publications, including TagTagTag Magazine, It’s Nice That and Photo District News.

Martine Fougeron

David Lubarsky

With over three decades of experience, David Lubarsky has been exclusively working as an independent assignment photographer based in New York City.

After graduating from the School of Visual Arts in 1979, his early social documentary/reportage images crystallized a distinct view of the human experience which continues to inspire his current assignment work today for the editorial, corporate & fine art markets.

Like many photographic artists who start families, David decided to take on corporate & editorial assignments in order to sustain his freelance career. This work has been published in numerous business publications, corporate brochures, annual reports and corporate websites.

Several images from Lubarsky’s “InTransit” series are included in the permanent collection of the Museum of the City of New York.

Stephen Mallon

Stephen Mallon is a photographer and filmmaker who specializes in documenting the industrial-scale creations of mankind at unusual moments of their life cycles. Mallon’s work blurs the line between documentary and fine art, revealing the industrial landscape to be unnatural, desolate, and functional yet simultaneously human, surprising, and inspiring.

His work has been featured in publications including The New York Times, National Geographic, Wall Street Journal, Daily Mail, Atlantic, GQ, and Vanity Fair. Mallon has exhibited his work nationally and internationally. In 2009, he produced Brace for Impact: The Salvage of Flight 1549, a series of photographs depicting Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger’s legendary landing of a passenger aircraft in the open waters of the Hudson River.

In 2010, his solo exhibition Next Stop Atlantic documented the disposal of New York City subway trains at sea to form artificial reefs. In 2013, Mallon was commissioned by the New York Times Magazine to shoot “Behind the Curtain,” a time-lapse film showing behind-the-scenes footage over the course of two days at the Metropolitan Opera. His work has been included in over 50 exhibitions over the past decade, including a recent solo show at Front Room gallery in early 2019.

As David Schonauer wrote in Pro Photo Daily, “Mallon’s word harkens back to the heroic industrial landscapes of Margaret Bourke-White and Charles Sheeler, who glorified American steel and found art in its industrial muscle and smoke during the Great Depression.”

Mallon lives in Beacon, New York with his wife and daughter. He has been a board member of the New York chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers since 2002 and served as its president from 2006 to 2009.

She’s been published in a variety of publications, ranging from People Magazine to PDN’s Photo of the Day, Pro Photo Daily, and L’Œil de la Photographie.

Kenneth Ragsdale

Tell also had a celebrated 25-year career photographing in more than 20 countries for pre-eminent publications including the New York Times, Time and LIFE Magazines.

Zoe Wetherall

The beauty of Zoe Wetherall’s work is in the structured geometry of natural and man-made forms. She nurtures a design-conscious approach to her work, paying attention to the subtle patterns hidden in architecture and landscape, and using her camera to reveal their beauty.

Much of her work has been shot from hot air balloons. She found that familiar landscapes resolved into something quite different when seen from above, and she liked the way that distance sorted the noise and humanity of the ground below into orderly, abstract designs.

Zoe is originally from Melbourne, Australia but is now based in Brooklyn, NY.
