Yva
Else Neuläänder Simon- “Yva” (1900-1942)
Else was born into a Jewish family in Berlin and became a popular fashion and portrait photographer at a young age. She opened her photographic studio, Studio Yva when she was 25 and it became one of the most successful photographic studios in Berlin. Studio Yva was shut down in the times of Nazi Germany and she was forced to become an x-ray technician. Yva and her husband were arrested and deported to Poland, where it is believed they were murdered and her negatives were destroyed in an air rade, so there is not a lot to show for her work beside people who were strongly influenced by her, like Helmut Newton.

Mike is a Los Angeles-based photographer and attempts to defy gravity in his compositions. He works mostly doing portraitures.
