The Fresh Faces 2013 Grand Finals by modelmanagement.com was more than successful and we couldn’t be more excited! But after all this popping of flashbulbs and perfect glitter and glamour, have you ever wondered who is pulling the strings behind the scenes of big fashion events like Fresh Faces and make it to what it is?
We caught up with Nina Melton, Ansgar Werrelmann, Sergio Cattivelli, Alex Saint and Jordi Blancafort, our elaborated official fashion photographers for Fresh Faces 2013. A colourful bouquet of exceptional photographers, forming the perception of beauty and aesthetic.
Jordi Blancafort
Jordi Blancafort has art in his venous. Coming from a family of photographers, the Barcelona based photographer started his artistic career at an incredible young age.
Jordi is now considered to be one of the most experienced and talented photographers of the fashion business. His work captures beauty in a way that is both contemporary and spontaneous, and is highly valued by his long list of renowned clients.
In 1999, he launched Entijuana Studio, a 400m to set at Sagrada Familia. Some of the world’s most famous and sought-after photographers, actors and models have passed through the studio: Mert Alas, Markus Piggot, Pascal Chevalier, Natalie Portman, Eva Green, Giselle Bundchen, Carolina Kurkova and many more.
Jordi Blancafort also created the production company Entijuana Productions, where he makes his very own and international productions.

Alex Saint
Alex Saint was born in Alicante in 1990. His mother used to be a fashion designer, so the fashion world has been always a natural environment for him.
His parents bought him his first Canon at the age of 13. Alex always used to do the make up to his friends and then take pictures of them, just to play around.
But that game became his passion, and almost ten years later he moved to Barcelona to develop his skills and to study in IDEP Fashion Photography.
Now his passion has become a lifestyle and he works as a freelance portrait & fashion photographer.
Alex creates pictures which absorbs the contemplator with its heaviness of meaning. Gender-roles are a playground and open to interpretation and most over to art. Fashion plays in here the transforming and instrumental part.

Sergio Cattivelli
Barcelona-based Italian photographer and professional traveller Sergio Cattivelli has been across all five continents, visiting hundreds of countries to capture the essence of people, places and landscapes. He fluently speaks five languages, a great help in getting him closer to the people and understanding their cultures.
Thanks to a passion for lighting and his fine-tuned powers of observation, Sergio creates a perfect balance that gives his compositions an evocative and suggestive three-dimensionality.
His work flows from romantic-idealistic landscapes, bathed in magical and ancestral light to urban architecture that splits and reflects itself over and over again.
He is available to travel for assignments worldwide, out of profession and passion. Sergio Cattivelli has worked for the runways of Milan and New York, and renowned international brands such as Sixty Group, Alessandro dell’Acqua, Malo, Diesel, Bally, Paolo Errico, Saint Germain des Prés and many more.
His work has been published in many international print and online magazines such as Vanity Fair-Italy-, Elle Magazine-Serbia-, Vogue.it, H Magazine-Spain, just to name a few for a small glimpse.

Ansgar Werrelmann
When it comes to showing products in the most fashionable way, Ansgar seems to be the one and only photographer of choice.
Ansgar Werrelmann was trained as a designer and finished his studies with an MFA in Düsseldorf, Germany. Taking pictures since his childhood, he quickly turned photography into a successful career by shooting for numerous advertising and fashion clients.
He loves to work with light and typically creates images of great depth and tension. Ansgar likes to tell stories in pictures and his conceptual approach is not only appreciated by commercial clients but has also found recognition in the art world, leading to exhibitions in New York, Paris and elsewhere.
After many years in New York he recently returned to Europe and now works mostly out of Germany and Paris.

Nina W. Melton
Photographer Nina W. Melton‘s work with children, adolescents and adults alike is best described by the word ‘Pleasure’.
On a thin line between her clients’ demands and her creative freedom, Nina captures the textures and details in a picture as well as the fun in play, provoking the innate joyous expressions of each of her models.
Each of her sessions is a new journey into exploring the possibillities of taking a brand of clothes or a product to the next level. Her recent work for Sfera has been recognised as the best campaign the brand ever launched.
Graduating from Europe’s most prestigious photographers’ school, the Ècole Lumiére in Paris, Nina worked in the US and Europe before settling down in Barcelona, Spain, where she works frequently for clients including Boboli, El Corte Inglés, Ese O Ese, Hipercor, Sfera and magazines such as Babiekinsmag.
