Chris followed his interest in journalism to the University of Nebraska at Omaha. While in college his work began to appear in the Omaha World Herald, an internship followed soon after. Chris received his degree in Journalism and quickly pursued his career as a freelancer.

Bill Sitzmann  28
Grew up in a nomadic household traveling from Germany, Utah, Texas, Arizona and finishing his tour in the middle of america: Omaha, Nebraska. Spent his childhood with video games, bart simpson, a snowboard and best of all an overactive imagination/short attention span. At 17, bill was recognized in the "Utah State Art Show " for his depiction of his best chilhood friend Dale Webster eating two rainbow trout. The hook was that it was originally shot on black and white infared film, scanned, and colorized in post, to give a hyper real sense that is very much apperent in sitzmann's current work. Thus began the career of a young man who by age 21 would be published in Time Magazine, have his first national cover by 25. By 27 he was featured in Photo District News, and by 28 his work appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone. Bill's career has had a prolific beginning but still promises for much more to come. His client list includes: TD Ameritrade, Sony/BMG Records, and Wenner Media.
Scott Drickey  38
Scott Drickey began his long photographic journey by skateboarding to his uncle Pat's studio after high school at Central to load 4X5 film holders and print in the darkroom. Influenced by the West Coast's daylight perspective he got accepted to attend Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara where he quickly excelled in lighting and established a distinguishable point of view. His young raw talent and tenacity landed him coveted assisting jobs in Los Angeles. He worked freelance for the likes of Peggy Sirota, Michel Comte, and Diego Uchitel. After spending two years as a full-time first for Uchitel, who's work has a day-lit painterly quality, Drickey's insatiable appetite for technical knowledge prompted him to move to New York City. New York studio lighting is more characteristic of a comparative than a formative quality of light in that the light can be manipulated. While in New York Scott accepted an on-camera position with Gilles Bensimon, photographer and creative director of Elle magazine. Drickey endured the challenges of traveling the world while gaining a special sensitivity towards the art of fashion design found in the collections of Azzedine Alia, Kenzo, Comme De Garçon, etc. His enthusiasm and ever expanding lighting repertoire became prevalent as he was published at 25 for a full page in Elle's beauty section. Scott's rapidly growing career as a photographer went into full swing when he attracted a photography rep and he enjoyed a successful career shooting "eyes, lips, and cheeks" in addition to still-life. After seven years in New York Scott moved home to reinvent himself and enjoy the warm quality of life in Nebraska.
