About Bogdan M.

I'm the kind of person that will meet strangers on the street and 5 years later call them good friends. I'm a naturally curious person and I am fascinated by people and what makes them tick. When I hunt for stories, I find myself gravitating towards cultural topics and social issues. And my favorite stories are the ones that make connections between the two, like a multimedia piece I did on aging jazz musicians with no social safety nets and an organization that works to provide them with housing and healthcare relief.

About Brian P.

Paid or not, I practice my craft no less than 10 hours a day, every single day. I'm more passionate about visuals now than I have ever been before. The world of motion is rewarding, meticulous and exhausting and I love every moment. I started my photographic life as a still photographer at age 15 when I was first published in my hometown newspaper in Western Pennsylvania. Since then, I have worked at 11 different publications from Maine to Washington. Along the way in those 25 some years I collected 11 Photographer of the Year titles including POYI International Newspaper of the Year honors in the 59th POYI competition sponsored by the University of Missouri. Day in and day out my passion, obsession and determination for being a visual storyteller is in overdrive since leaving the print world 11 years ago. I believe that when one becomes confident and settled in a particular style it's best to set the bar higher and move on. I have a tough boss in myself and besides... coffee is for closers.
