Andrew Loiterton
@andrew_loiterton

Australian born, Sydney-bred. Andrew moved to Hong Kong in 1994 and spent over two decades cataloguing its paradoxes, the ancient ladder streets of Sheung Wan and Central juxtaposed by massive glass and steel towers. Hong Kong became a springboard into Asia and the rest of the world.

Andrew’s work has taken him around the globe – he has worked with Fortune 500 companies, cottage industries and everything in between.

“The accolades and awards have come and I’m proud of them but at the end of the day, satisfaction comes from work delivered on time every time, briefs met, clients content and I return to my other great love: Home and family.”

 

Renata Filippi
@rendogie

Renata Filippi as an internationally exhibiting, candid street photographer from Melbourne, Australia.

She describes herself as an intuitive photographer that gets up close to capture the essence of a person. A face to Renata is like a scene to others, it tells a story, shows expression, dreams, spirit, and soul. “People inspire me, I get excited when I’m in a crowd and can happily snap away.”

Renata has exhibited at major photo festivals including Head On Photo Festival and Indian Photo Festival.

“A lot of passion goes into my photography and I hope my images provoke thought, emotion, wonder, and that they sometimes take you out of your comfort zone.”
