My name is Karl Lundholm. I was born and raised in Gothenburg, located on the west coast of Sweden. I have always enjoyed being close to the water. I am also a big fan of the sun, but we don’t get to see that one a lot around here. That’s why I have spent my last year in Australia, which offers both parts. I graduated upper secondary media school in mid 2002. Since then I have been working as a Graphic Artist, Digital Asset Manager and Photo Retoucher. For the past six years I’ve spent much time on traveling. Because discovering new places gives me new energy. It also boosts my creativity, which is why my interest in photography has evolved during this time. I love photography as a kind of art expression. Photography also goes hand-in-hand with my profession as a Photo Retoucher. Being able to work with the things I’m passionate about is important for me, as it really makes me happy.

As a Florida native, John Starrett grew up in the water. From surfing to free diving, he has always been immersed in the water culture and water man lifestyle. It is because of this love affair with all things liquid he has used his imagery to raise awareness of our dying Florida Springs and our vanishing marine life; both within salt and fresh water environments. He continues to work with several conservation agencies and groups, in hopes to inspire future generations to carry on in the efforts to protect and nurture our marine waterways, lakes and oceans.

A photographer and creative artist, Daniel’s roots to his passion, culture, and landscape photography originate from Terrasini, Sicily where his great-grandfather, Alessandro Leonardo Bommarito, was born. Alessandro’s life-long pursuit of his dreams of a better life and to produce meaningful work was passed to his son, George, and today the flame of this torch is carried onward by Daniel. A United States Navy Veteran, Daniel was born in Eugene, Oregon. He grew up spending countless days and nights in the frigid cold winters of the Pacific Northwest, and the brutally hot summers of Nevada and Arizona learning about photography, mother nature, and the elements of life. It’s here where he found himself, his creative spirit, and the magic of using a camera as a medium of self-expression and storytelling.  Daniel relies on Outex underwater housings for much of his outdoor photography work.
