“Work hard because no one else is going to do that work for you, it’s up to you how bad you want it. Are you gonna work in the world you were given, or are you gonna work in the world of your dreams...?” Fashion photographer represented by MINK MGMT, JESSE LAITINEN, reveals his work ethics. The results of his hard work are beautiful moods and fashion photos, which fascinated the GoSeeAWARDS jurors in the area of FASHION. The photographer residing in London received the highest number of points to take home GOLD in this category. His clients include House of Dagmar, Diana Orving, H&M, NK department stores, Contributor magazine, Costume, Revs magazine, ELLE Finland, Styleby, King magazine, Plaza magazine and Client magazine. MINK MGMT presents his works regularly on GoSee.

The works of RUVEN AFANADOR are world renowned. He photographs opulent fashion productions, works with celebrities and has already published three books. “In his extensive body of work, Afanador has created an intensely personal language characterized by the balance of bold emotion and delicate nuance. The expressive images in his books and fashion editorials reveal extravagant dreamlike sequences that seem to emerge from Afanador’s original imagination already full grown, always splendid, sometimes mischievous, often decadent, all steeped in classic formality...” He inspired the GoSeeAWARDS jurors with his work and shares second place with MARCO TRUNZ. Further of his works are available GoSee.

MARCO TRUNZ, represented by SONJA HEINTSCHEL, studied Computer Sciences and got into photography indirectly. Thanks to his charming young character, he is sometimes still seen as a newcomer in the German fashion photography scene, but he already has a remarkable portfolio and an exciting list of clients to show for. His works convinced the jury and catapulted him into second place. “My goal on one hand is to help commercial clients develop a high-quality product without worrying about being too mainstream. And shooting fashion on the other hand in a not too artificial direction while still representing their spirit and adding layers of meaning and richness to it. I’m always keen on improving myself and push forward with what's new and apply what is needed to make it look on point. If a style of photography suits a product, it will be shot that way.” Here is the spread, and several more works are available directly via GoSee.

Tobias REGELL received BRONZE at the GoSeeAWARDS in the category Fashion. The fashion & lifestyle photographer with his own studio in Stockholm is represented by CAMERALINK . “Tobias Regell has a gift for capturing the essence and soul of his models, the simple beauty of the moment. His photography is immersed in just that, the beauty of everyday reality, whether he shoots professional models or street people around the world. There is an honesty in his images that come from both ends of the camera. His pictures convey a certain warm feeling of ease and grace that is very immediate to the viewer. The power of belief in humanity that shines through in all of his work.”
