Oliviero Toscani (IT)
Oliviero Toscani is a photographer, best-known worldwide for designing controversial advertising campaigns for Italian brand Benetton from 1982 to 2000. After obtaining his diploma at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich, he started working with different magazines, including Elle, Vogue, L’Uomo Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. In 1982 he started working as Art Director for the Benetton Group. In the early 1990s, Toscani co-founded the magazine Colors (also owned by Benetton). In 2005, he sparked controversy again with his photographs for an advertising campaign for the men’s clothing brand Ra-Re. In September 2007, a new campaign against anorexia was again controversial due to his shocking photography of an emaciated woman. A long-term Tuscany resident, in 2003 he created in collaboration with Regione Toscana a new research facility for modern communication called La Sterpaia.

Swiss advertising & press photographer Daniel Boschung maps faces. But instead of snapping the images himself, he delegates the job to an industrial robot controlled by custom-programmed software. The resulting standardized portraits, with their hyper-realistic look and jumbo, 1.8 x 1.8-meter format, generate surprising power and have a disconcerting effect.

Jeffrey Martin specializes in creating photos of cities, usually shot from the top of a tower or skyscraper. His gigapixel photos are usually 360º panorama pictures, created from thousands of individual photos that have been carefully stitched together. The result is an image so large that a full-size print would be the size of a house. Buildings and features up to 30km away can be seen in these images and when viewed online or interactively it is possible to zoom in to an incredible degree.
