We caught up with RAD Artist Jeremy Koreski - the photographer behind the “Growth Series” - to talk surfing, photography, growing in Tofino, and his latest collaboration with Rumpl - Gold Growth.

How did you get into photography?
My dad gave me a camera when I was 13 and I started documenting the friends and sports I was involved in at the time. Skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing were the main sports I was interested in shooting, and pretty soon I was just as stoked to shoot as I was to partake.

Where do you find inspiration?
My home here in BC with its diverse weather, its incredible wildlife and its unknown. For me, what's around the next corner is what keeps me interested in photography.

How would you describe your approach to photography?
F/8 and be there. Most of my favourite images have come from just long hours outside. You never know when that pod of orcas will come around the corner and you get the best images of your life.

Tell us a bit about your gallery in Tofino.
4 years ago now, I was chatting with the owner of Storm Surf Shop in Tofino and discussing the possibility of having a little pop up next to his shop for a summer. From there it grew and grew and now we've been open for three years and I'm extremely happy with the response and getting to chat with folks about my work in person. It's such a refreshing experience to view in person than online.

The photos in the Growth Series all have a similar composition, but are captured in different seasons. Can you speak to some of the challenges you experienced while making these photos?
I've been very lucky to have spent a lot of time in seaplanes and helicopters growing up, and I really love shooting aerials. One of the main challenges is working with a pilot that you connect with. Communicating your vision can be tough sometimes, but when you find the right pilot everything becomes easier.

Stefan Sagmeister

THE BASICS   Name: Stefan Sagmeister Residence: New York City, New York Occupation: Graphic Designer Our latest RAD collaboration is with Stefan Sagmeister, an Austrian graphic designer, storyteller, and typographer based in New York City. We caught up with the designer in his New York City home to talk about his approach to design and how his search for universal beauty ultimately inspired the Beautiful Shapes Down Puffy Blanket. How would you describe the art you do? Your craft? The design studio that I'm running really comes out of graphics. But in the meantime, we do a lot of other things that would include documentary films, furniture, espresso cups, it's just become a very, very wide field for us. Can you tell us about the meaning behind the design of the blanket?

Meet RAD Artists Jessie & Katey

THE BASICS   Name: Jessie Unterhalter & Katey Truhn Residence: Baltimore, MD Occupation: Muralist team Jessie and Katey are a Baltimore-based artist team that transforms public spaces into playful and vibrant experiences. This dynamic duo has been turning urban areas into works of art for the past decade. And now, we’re teaming up with them to bring you our newest print - Chromatic Voyage. We sat down with the pair to learn more about their process and their latest collaboration with Rumpl. You guys have a signature, geometric style to your art. Has that always been your go-to style or has that evolved over time? Katey: I think it kind of happened over time because we were really interested in murals and the murals we started off making were a little wackier and didn't have as much form in them. Then it kind of made sense going with perfect geometry because we were scaling our designs up and needed a method to do that. It just work...
