Miami, Florida Jul 4, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - Award-winning, legendary photographer Steven Forster and brilliant millennial designer/entrepreneur Jake Huntr have teamed up to form Forster & Huntr+; an online media company https://www.forsterhuntr.com that is both a visually stunning portfolio, boasting incredible, iconic photography collections, which are available to purchase, as well as, enchanting designs by Huntr; and a platform for creative developments in Design, Film/TV and concept development. Forster, who has had exhibitions since 1978 has only ever made his extremely unique and rare body of work available privately or in exhibitions in art galleries and museums. Now, this incredible duo is making their work available to the world.
Steven Forster says of the new launch.
"I've been very exclusive about my work and of my image for over 40 years; I've only ever shown publicly in art galleries. But, I've been itching for a broader adventure. So, I took some time off, traveled, seasoned my points of view and came to this fabulous opportunity. It's really about time that I've gone into business for myself, and partnering with Jake Huntr is just awesome! His forward-thinking ideas and no limits attitude is just very inspiring and we keep going. Let me say this, too, yes yes yes all of the work is absolutely available to purchase! Jake and I invite you to visit the new site https://www.forsterhuntr.com and explore the shop, see what we're all about."
Jake Huntr says, " I have always worked outside of the box. It's not a straight line for me, I think it's about going in the directions that bring you to a more centered place of one's self. Steven and I make a good team, he is the grounded one and I tend to be the one with the "let's go for it, ideas". Whether we take on one of a kind photographs, building skyscrapers or we produce a hit movie...we have fun, we love what we do and the work we put out is something everyone can get behind."
