Artist Statement from casehofmeister.com: In my work I use the genres of family photography, nude portraiture, religious iconography, and testimony. My art is about love and searching for it in seemingly hopeless and desolate places. It is about moving beneath passion and violence to expose love compromised and deeply misunderstood in this world.The post Episode 13 – Anna Case-Hofmeister – Photographer appeared first on WAMC Podcasts.

When social video first came to mobile phones through Vine and then Instagram, Meagan set aside a successful photography career to dive in headfirst. Her unique visual approach to those mediums quickly amassed a large and loyal following, drew the attention of brands, and won numerous awards (Cannes Lion, 4A’s O’Toole Award, Art Directors Award, a gold Andy, London International Awards, and others).
Today, over one million people follow Meagan on social media…but more than just a social media influencer, Meagan had the foresight three years ago to start her own creative production agency, Visual Country, with her partner and ex-Ebayer, Amber Lee. The company that began in her Brooklyn apartment now counts Google, Coca Cola, Nike, Tiffany & Co, Twitter, and hundreds of other major brands as clients.
Cignoli was named Digital Entrepreneur of the Year by the Hubbies (2014) and top 100 Creative by Ad Week (2015). She was also recently featured in Time Magazine, Wired magazine and in the PBS documentary, Frame by Frame, as an expert in stop motion.

Jordan is a Philadelphia based photographer whose work focuses on notions of violence, love and loss. His relationship to that place is deep, and polarizing; he was born there, his parents went to college there, he met and married his wife there and he’s also nearly been killed and witnessed some of the worst tragedies imaginable there. He’s watched the city grow and change, as he has grown and changed beside it. Those experiences and that complicated relationship to place is his cornerstone and remains the driving force in his work and life. Jordan Baumgarten received an MFA in Photography from the Rhode Island School of Design and has exhibited his work nationally and internationally. In Fall of 2013, he published his first monograph with Parts and Labor Books. He is currently working on his second book.
