Nils Ericson’s photography ranges from sports to still lifes to portraiture. His clients include Victory Journal, Puma, and Powerade. A graduate of Dartmouth, he received his MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. Ericson was selected for the 2016 PDN’s 30: New and Emerging Photographers to Watch.
Ina Jang graduated from the School of Visual Arts masters program in fashion photography in 2012 — the same year her work was featured at the Hyères photo festival and in Foam magazine’s emerging talent issue. Her fine-art work has been shown at the Foley Gallery in New York City and at the Christopher Guy Galerie in Zurich. Her commercial and editorial clients include Shiseido, The New York Times Magazine, and Du Jour. She was featured in the 2016 PDN’s 30: New and Emerging Photographers to Watch.
Amy Lombard is a photographer living and working out of Queens, NY, though it’s not unlikely you’ll find her on the road. Originally from Philadelphia, Lombard moved to New York in 2008 to pursue her BFA from the Fashion Institute of Technology, where she graduated in 2012. As a documentary photographer her work largely examines the phenomenons and personalities that make up American culture, shifting her lens between subjects ranging from Juggalos, to Paris Hilton, to an alien themed brothel in the depths of Nevada. Her bold and colorful work has landed her clients including The New York Times, VICE, New York Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, TIME, and WIRED, among many others. In 2015, she became one of the recipients of VSCO’s Artist Initiative to complete her series Connected, a body of work documenting the interests and commonalities that bring people together in real life via Internet meetups—ranging from Harry Potter meetups to a nationwide network of stay-at-home dads. In 2016 she was featured as one of PDN’s “30 New and Emerging Photographers to Watch”. Most recently, she was honored as part of the Magenta Foundation’s Flash Forward 2017.
Jonno Rattman has photographed for The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, Glamour, Bloomberg Businessweek, INC, MSNBC, and Virginia Quarterly Review. He has printed exhibitions for Rosalind Solomon, Gilles Peress, and Neil Selkirk for the Estate of Diane Arbus, among others. A native of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Rattman was mentored by Larry Fink at the age of 16, and earned his MFA from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Rattman was selected for the 2015 PDN’s 30: New and Emerging Photographers to Watch.
