Gabriela Silveira is a Brazilian photographer specializing in digital content for jewelry, cosmetics, and homeware. Although she always enjoyed taking photographs, her real journey as a photographer began when she moved to Scotland at just 19. Though she touched on still life photography at university, she decided to pursue a career in fashion photography instead. Her job at a clothing brand led to her to photograph jewelry for e-commerce and eventually went freelance. Her relationship with Laboratory Perfume brought her full circle back to still life photography.

Nowadays, she uses a combination of the conceptual and theoretical skills she learned from her master’s with the experimental freestyle approach she got from art school, where she learned to step outside her comfort zone and tame her inner perfectionist. Her work explores themes like love, beauty, and death, with flowers and flesh often featuring heavily.

Amy Currell is a photographer and director who lives and works in East London. She always knew she wanted to make a career out of photography and won her first contests at 13 and 15 years old, further cementing the idea. Nevertheless, she earned a degree in history before going on to pursue her passion. She started by assisting other still life photographers on set, which is where she truly learned the fundamentals of the craft and honed her skills with practical, hands-on experience.

Feeling the need to make her own way, Amy decided to open her own studio, where she works across editorial and commercial projects. In addition to being a Leica Ambassador, she has collaborated with brands such as Vogue, Tatler, Liberty London, and Selfridges, as well as publications like ELLE and The Telegraph. She also created an award-winning campaign for IKEA that propelled her to ranking among Spotlights’ Top 10 Advertising Photographers.

Lizzie Darden is a creative director and commercial photographer based in central Florida.

Soon, brands began to reach out to create content for their own profiles. Since then, Lizzie has collaborated with Taco Bell, Pepsi, Adobe, Benefit Cosmetics, and Betsey Johnson, and continues to share her work with over 90K followers on Instagram.
