Peter Leifer first serious photographic undertaking happened at the early age of 12 years old when he acquired his first 35mm camera. It was a range-finder with a fixed lens that led him to his first studies in formalism, an interest that he has pursued both visually and theoretically to the present day. His early work in New York City where he grew up featured exhibits in formalism with studies done almost exclusively in black and white. Education: He received a Bachelor of Arts from Brooklyn College with dual majors in English literature and philosophy, endeavors that enabled him to expand his aesthetic vision with deep insight into the mechanism of art and philosophical precepts innate to architectural achievement. This was hardly a detour from his photographic passion, which he pursued in earnest throughout his academic studies and in fact motivated his interest in Kant's Critique of Judgment and the consequential evolution of his theory of Aesthetic Formalism. That interest resulted in more than one themed essay on the subject and the intent to pursue a masters to further explore the theoretical applications of the philosopher's vision to our modern appreciation of architectural forms. He believed the compliment of that insight along with the spectrum of vision achieved through the lens were perceptions that would eventually reinforce the study of complex architectural structures and the enigma of their evolution through inception to planning, revisions and eventual construction. Fashion In LA - Conceptual Advertising Though that never happened the exigencies of life led him into the field of fashion, which he pursued in Los Angeles where he set up a photo company devoted to conceptual advertising photography and a photographic exploration of fashion as an expression of form which he engineered into advertising imagery. University Town Center in San Diego and its affiliated centers throughout the USA, including the Oakridge Mall San Jose and the Conestoga Mall Nebraska, was a major client along with local small fashion outlets. Return To New York And Paul Mitchell Systems. On returning to New York City he continued to exhibit work featuring formalist content and worked in home fashion to explore textural elements in fabric and home decor. He also met Paul Mitchell, an extraordinarily talented individual and innovator in hair products and the two collaborated on Paul Mitchell Systems first advertising campaign. That collaborative effort ended with the untimely death of Paul who never lived to see his vision fulfilled. The Business Alliance: Leifer-Stieffel And Ultimately Miami In Focus. Cheryl Stieffel Her work appeared in many local publications as she persistently sought to apply her creative illustration skills to the fulfillment of marketing and advertising assignments. One in particular set her on a new route to creative success. Cheryl was hired by Peter Leifer to provide fashion illustrations from photographs for the A&S department store in New York City. That working relationship expanded rapidly into a mutual business called Leifer-Stieffel that encompassed many local fashion accounts and eventually led to catalogs and photo shoots with models for the home fashion industry as well as a Wacoal campaign for stylish lingerie. From Graphic Art To Business Aesthetics: Immediately taking reins of this new business she was able to expand her talents at business management and client relations a role in which she excels in to this very day. Though art was her calling from a very young age she was lured by the aesthetics of photography and its use in marketing as an objective way to evolve a company's image and brand. Experience at Time Inc. and Warner Bros. Working with marketing and directorial teams at Warner Bros and Time Inc she found her footing as a skilled communicator and business manager with the role of unveiling and maintaining the direction and outcome of many complex projects all on the frontier of the new digital age. The demands for perfection at Time Magazine and Warner Bros as well as the fulfillment of many complex job assignments from companies at the top of the business chain has driven her sense of perfection and the need for detail and proper management of the companies she has evolved into thriving businesses. Skilled in Photography and its Effective Integration into Marketing: As a skilled photographer herself she has an intimate sense of every aspect of a job evolution and is able to assert the necessary control over the inception and fulfillment of a job. Miami in Focus derives its strength from her perception and management skill under the paradigm that the client's needs must be innately understood and fulfilled. That perception comes from a history of personal insight into the art of design as well as the role that photography has in unveiling the most intimate aspects of the total creative accomplishment. Her own personal instincts for design and art have made her insights compellingly productive as an analyst and contributor to every project worked on by Miami in Focus. Robin Hill Miami and New York based photographer, Robin Hill straddles the boundaries between architecture, design and fine art by using his medium of choice; photography. - Born and raised in Nottingham, England, Hill began his career in 1987 in the most inauspicious way by taking pictures of toddlers in supermarkets and department stores across London. - He didn't know at that stage that one day his photographs would be exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum in New York and Bilbao or grace the pages of the world's leading design publications such as Vanity Fair, Wallpaper* and Architectural Digest. - Architecture is the corner-stone of his work; perspectives colliding and geometries intersecting, light playing with shadow and whimsy dancing with rigor, a philosophy of action that has led him to work with many of the world's leading architects including Herzog and de Meuron, Zaha Hadid and Arquitectonica. - Hill likes to see his work as a metaphorical tripod with the three legs of his photography; architecture, design and fine art all coming together within the camera that sits atop the tripod. - Hill first became known in the world of architecture through a project known as MiMo (MIami MOdern), which is a movement to preserve post-war modern architecture in Miami and resulted in the seminal exhibition 'Beyond the Box' which debuted at the Municipal Art Society in New York City and resulted in the publication of MiMo: Miami Moden Revealed. (Chronicle Books 2004) The first of more than twenty books that Hill has collaborated on. - Hill became involved with other media hosting the EMMY award winning ART 360 on PBS and delivering keynote lectures at the Sarasota Design Conference and the Wolfsonian Museum in Miami. - Hill received the AIA award for Florida in 2015 as the Architectural Photographer of the Year.
