About Julye N.

Being a part of the human connection that media can bridge has been an endless quest of my career. Richard Leacock has suggested, "We are really only successful in finding out anything when we are filming somebody who is more concerned with what he is doing that with the fact that we care filming him." I absolutely agree with this idea, and I became obsessed with capturing moments of genuine authenticity that rarely brush the viewfinder. After 20 years behind the lens all I know is, I love my job; I like meeting new people, and I enjoy going to new places.

About Derek F.

I began my journey in high school when I purchased a Sony FX1 prosumer camera. From there, I gained my Avid Certification and began my professional career. I have shot everything from sports to commercial videos for multi-national clientele. My previous clients include but are not limited to CST, CSS, Tribune Media, Signal Marketing Group, and The Baddish Group. I thrive in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines. I like to be where the action is. Nothing is off limits for me when it comes to getting the shot. I believe in showing as much emotion as possible in every frame of video. Whether shooting a crime scene or a travel series, the emotion is there, and I will portray that in the best way possible. I shoot on the latest and greatest equipment in the industry. My weapon of choice, the Canon EOS Cinema series cameras with L-Series lenses.

About Pu H.

Hi – I go by Pu. My work has taken me through waist-deep floodwater, migration paths in the Americas and into homes of storied families across the continent. My journalism career kicked off as a staff photographer, and eventually managing editor, at the Daily Texan, the student newspaper of the University of Texas at Austin. In college, I complimented my journalism with a degree in anthropology, which took me on a deep dive exploring why people are the way they are. That knowledge guides my photography today. When not working on assignments, I am exploring projects on migration, identity, and culture
