Bonnie Cee has predominantly been a Freelance Photographer. In recent years, she has specialised in swimwear photography and has built a massive instagram following of over 200k followers. On top of photography she has been selling her light-room presets to other creators. Whilst doing this she saw the demand for these presets throughout non adobe-savy people and has since (in the last month)launched 'COLOURTONE' - an app which makes her great presets available for anyone to use. In the first two weeks colourtone saw a mammoth 50k downloads and is growing rapidly. Bonnie is an absolute champ and if you ask me, too humble! She is also a giggler! Download Colourtone on IOS now.

Nick is a Fantastic Photographer who I have been lucky enough to shoot with multiple times. He is also Breakfast Shirts Go-to Photographer. We met as he was shooting a gig I was playing a couple of years back and we have been mates since. We talked a little about Freelance Photography and what projects nick is working on but more importantly we talked about MONGOLIA and nicks life shift towards minimalism and living a nomadic lifestyle. Nick is embarking on a 3 month trip to Mongolia, Shooting a documentary on nomadic culture. He is buying a horse and going across the plains living off the land. The catch is he is doing it with 10+ other minimalists who he has never yet. Pumped to have him back on when he gets back from his trip and even more pumped to see the film he makes.
