Iain McKell was born in Dorset, England. He studied graphics design and then moved to London in 1980. McKell has been successfully working in fashion, advertising, and social documentary. He photographed Madonna for her first magazine cover one week before she hit number one on the british charts. His images are beautiful and informative. His work "The New Gypsies," was started in 2001 and continued until 2010. His shows a breathtaking underground society that almost makes you want to join them. He brings to light the conditions that these people live and raise there children in, in such a manner that makes you almost want to join them. The raw portraits to the breathtaking landscapes are what really drew me to his work.

Mike Brodie is an american born in 1985 not much older than myself. He never formally studied photography and in 2004 took off on a great adventure creating his one and only series, "The Polaroid Kidds." For four years he documented his travels through the rail system capturing without any pressures. His work is honest and forthcoming. He does not try to glamourize the lives of those he comes upon. He captures them as they are. Brodie no longer photographs and has decided to become a mechanic.
