Photographer Dylan Johnston traces the roots of his creative journey to the East Coast of Florida, where he spent his youth fishing and surfing. After adopting the family camera, his parents supported his passion, helping him buy film, lenses and books. This coastal upbringing, with its thrill of exploration and the ocean as a backdrop, shaped his allure of adventure and innate eye for visual storytelling.
While at art school, Dylan honed his skills by working as a photo assistant at Universal Orlando during the summers. Moving to New York after college, he continued assisting, developing his unique style, experimenting with different cameras and formats and embracing the process of failing fast–knowing what doesn’t work works.
For Dylan, photography is more than technical execution; it’s about infusing each image with a personal touch. Evolving over the years and approaching each project with a documentary eye, Dylan creates a story and environment that the viewer feels as if they’re part of. He draws inspiration from diverse sources such as photo books, movies and museums, bringing a multidimensional perspective to his work.
Dylan’s portfolio boasts an array of commercial and narrative clients, including Adidas, Nike, Vogue and Rivian.

Portrait and Documentary Photographer Tori Ferenc’s journey behind the lens began at high school in her native Poland. Her fascination with constantly photographing everything frustrated her teachers, but it was a desire she could not escape. After making the “sensible” choice of graduating from university with a BA in English and Afrikaans, Tori’s passion for photography persisted, and she moved to London to pursue her dream.
Exploring themes of identity, community and parenthood, Tori’s distinctive style found its voice with self-directed exploration and experimentation with street photography. She gravitates toward documenting marginalised communities worldwide, from Orthodox Jews in North London to Irish travellers at horse fairs and Romani bands in Serbia.
Tori’s fearless approach to her personal projects has been recognised in publications like The Guardian, It’s Nice That, AnOther, Vice Poland, i-D, Vice, Trip Magazine, and Vogue Italia. Her editorial and commercial collaborations include Adidas, The New York Times, Nike, Cardhu Whisky, Washington Post, Financial Times, The Telegraph, Time and Bloomberg.
Her work has been shown at the Royal Photographic Society, Portrait Salon, International Exhibition and the Palm* Photo Prize. She has been twice shortlisted for the Magenta Foundation Flash Forward Awards, and her 2021 project, In Waiting, exploring her own motherhood, was a part of the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize exhibition.
