Author Biography
Sanmi Krueger is a FinTech Product Manager and self-taught photographer from Berlin who picked up his first camera back in March 2018 with the aim to capture moments rather than places. Since then, he has become passionate about the art of photography as it allows him to archive reality, share the beauty of our planet with his ever-growing community, and to rediscover the ordinary. He constantly works on his skillset for both execution and post-processing as he strongly believes in the process of growing. An essential part of his creative growth process is intentionally not choosing a niche so that he won't limit himself. He allows himself to experiment in the fields of landscape as well as street photography with the ultimate goal to become independent from the environment that he is shooting in, all while telling an appealing story through his images.
Declan McWhinney is a street and conceptual photographer specializing in visual storytelling where he captures and creates deeply emotional moments in time. He started his creative career as a musician, but when he pivoted to photography, he realized he'd found his calling. Originally, he was interested in studying psychology to learn and understand more about people. However, he decided not to pursue as he knew he wasn't a strong academic learner. When he picked up his camera after retiring from the music industry, Declan began taking images of anything he found interesting and quickly realized that all of his favorite photos had people in them. He kept practicing and after a year he discovered that he was still learning about people by capturing candid moments of them. Now, Declan's photography is his lifeblood and he can't imagine living in the world without the eye of a street photographer.
Cyril Mouty is a Paris-based photographer whose images have appeared in Trope Paris and Trope Rome. His career began in international luxury and hospitality. Through his various roles in different hotels, Cyril found himself traveling to numerous destinations, immersing himself in a tapestry of countries, cultures, and lifestyles. It was amidst these adventures that Cyril's lens began capturing more than just iconic landmarks and attractions. His focus shifted to the heartbeat of each nation--the people. Street photography and reportage metamorphosed into a profound passion, compelling him to document the essence of every place he visited. Today, for Cyril, the true luxury lies in the exploration of places, cultures, and people. This ideology serves as the foundation for all his work. Cyril endeavors to present photographs that encapsulate the authentic reality of each locale, capturing the scenes as perceived by the human eye.
Selim Adira is Co-Founder of BonBon - A Swedish Candy Co. Originally from Malmo, Sweden, he has now called New York home for over two decades.
