Over the last 35 years as a commercial and fine arts photographer,  Thomas Heinser has honed an innate talent for creating customized, site and client specific immersive environments.

His ability to identify a project's thematic core and collaboratively develop it with clients and partners has earned him a reputation as an artistic and innovative photographer,  combining the best of commercial and fine art genres.The Academy is a group of  talented film-makers who create content for documentaries, TV pilots/trailers and are our constant behind the scenes companions.

A native Californian,  Bill's approach to each shot is to capture his subject's natural beauty.  To strip away and expose the intrigue of each face -  like a musician completely lost in the music,  a child's uninhibited play,  or a wise, content soul.

Sean Murphy is your lively, all-American southern boy.  He truly is an example of living the dream.  Academics weren’t his thing; school was hard for him.  Imagine the surprise when he graduated Valedictorian from the New England School of Photography.  Since discovering his true calling, Sean has been recognized and awarded in venues such as PDN, Communication Arts, London Photographic Awards, and many others, and has shot campaigns for clients such as Toyota, Hard Rock Café and Hotel, Hampton Inn, and Walmart, just to name a few.

In addition to being one talented so-and-so, Murph has a personality that makes you want to spend your time with him.  He’s funny, sincere, and outgoing.  He has a “whatever it takes” attitude, and he loves to work hard and get muddy.  Many of his images are unique because he goes where other photographers wouldn’t dare.  He swims with sharks, trudges through swamps, and hangs out of helicopters.  It sounds outlandish, but it’s true.  This guy is the real deal.
