Benedict Redgrove was born near Reading in Berkshire, UK.
He attended the Berkshire College of Art and Design and spent his early career at various design studios honing his creative talent in graphics and design until he discovered that photography was the ultimate media for him to showcase his vision.
Benedict has a lifelong fascination with innovation and industry, and is a dedicated proponent of good design, modernism and utilitarianism. He has a love for extremes be that physical, environmental or technological. His love of sci-fi and space exploration has intuitively led him to capturing projects and objects at their most cutting edge. He has created an aesthetic of photography that is clean, pure and devoid of any miscellaneous information, winning him acclaim and numerous awards.
Redgrove has amassed a following and client base from some of the most advanced companies in the world, granting him access to secret and often hidden divisions at organisations such as Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence, the Royal Air Force, European Space Agency, British Aerospace and NASA. Whether capturing the U-2 reconnaissance pilots and stealth planes, the Navy Bomb Disposal or spending time documenting the Royal Marines, Benedict strives to capture the scope and scale of advancements, invoking an emotional response to the objects and places and asking what they mean to us as human beings.
A career spent recording the pioneering technology of human endeavours has produced a photographic art form that gives viewers a window into an often unseen world.
Marcus currently lives in Vienna, Austria. His workplace is between Munich and Vienna where he works as a mechanical engineer. He graduated from TU-Dresden in 2011 and worked until recently on his Ph.D. at the chair of vibroacoustics of vehicles and machines at TU-Munich.
After finishing studies in Mechanical Engineering, Marcus approached the field of Acoustics where he conducted numerous experimental and numerical investigations on air conditioning systems in the automotive context, tools in civil engineering, household appliances, designing and operating test benches as well as investigations of room acoustics and speech intelligibility in opera houses and open-plan offices. His major work within his Ph.D. research dealt with the numerical investigation of aeroacoustics and rotor dynamics.
His work is published in a number of international journals and was presented at numerous international conferences around the globe. During his time at TU-Munich, he was able to conduct long term research visits at UNSW, Sydney, Australia and IIT Delhi, Delhi, India.
Major research topics are vibroacoustics and system dynamics, aeroacoustics and rotor dynamics, room acoustics, philosophy and ethics in acoustics. Among these topics, Marcus quite recently investigates the use of artificial intelligence in the context of acoustics and its application.
