Peter Ruprecht has photographs that are unique. "On peregrinations across continents light and lens have been his teachers. He has learned the language of imagery. And his images often speak to us in quiet, meditative tones. Through the technology of digital image refracted through flawlessly ground lenses Peter reveals a visual poetry in everyday life, in ritual that celebrates life, in moments of solitude and contemplation. He captures the drama of light on stone architecture and reveals the ethereal quality of water sculpted by light.

It is the irony and one of the profound tragedies of our lives that few of us cross the river. We seldom encounter ourselves in the other. We are variously fascinated, repelled, bored, fearful, but ultimately too often dismissive of those who do not embrace our way of life. We rarely comprehend the complexity and integrity of simplicity, of living harmoniously with the world around us, with acknowledging our common biological heritage and nurturing cultural diversity.

Peter’s photographs express the monadic quality of humankind’s relationship with the Earth – integral, indivisible, at times impenetrable, but always primary. The nomadic photographer records the monadic moment, quiet reflections that stand in stark contrast with driving greed and engines of globalization that systematically destroy Earth and marginalize those most connected to it. us, by way of light and his lens, Peter raises fundamental questions about where we are going, where we have been, and who we really are."  -John Ripton

Jo was born in Durban, South Africa, and grew up in England on the south coast. She is currently living n New York.

She began working as a model in London in the late 1990's and now also works as a photographer and artist. She works closely with models and agencies to update and build models' books, in particualr those going into the Classics divisions of agencies. "This is one area where I feel I really offer the models what they need - which, having learnt from experience, is not always what you get."

With an interest in all aspects of photography Jo's main passion is portraiture and she is currently working on a project entitled 'The Other Side Of The Coin', documenting people involved in the military. "My aim is to highlight the real people behind the uniforms and to show them as more just numbers on a list. The people I've met have shown remarkable bravery and all have had an enormous impact on how I view both the military and war. They are heros, every one, regardless of political views and I thank them both for their service and for the opportunity of allowing me to doccument and hear their very personal and revealing stories."
