Marcus Duval, photographer, was born in Tallahassee and is a trained visual artist. He was originally trained as a videographer at Tallahassee Community College but was introduced to the fashion industry in early 2003 when several of his photographs appeared on the men’s board for Uptown Model Management, a small modeling agency in New York. In addition to Tallahassee Magazine, Marcus’ work has also appeared in a wide variety of publications such as Nuovo Magazine, TransWorld Surfing, Maxim and Playboy’s search for the 50th Playmate, among others. His clients include best-selling author James Howard Kunstler, Lolade Cosmetics and The Aveda Institute.
If it’s about lifestyle — be it home, fashion, food, travel or art — you can bet Calynne Hill and Terra Palmer are on top of the trend. As the new Lifestyle/ Fashion Editors of Tallahassee Magazine, you’ll find this lovely duo’s touch throughout every issue. In this, they styled our Back to School fashion shoot and home décor page devoted to jewelry-like chandeliers. Calynne’s is probably one of Tallahassee’s most familiar faces — she modeled for the Style section of the Tallahassee Democrat for a decade, was one of the first Florida Lottery hostesses and owns a successful real estate agency. And, she’s also featured in our story about raising backyard chickens. Terra is an interior designer and an artist — both of the fine art and makeup variety — with a background in event planning too. Together they produce a blog, tutudivine.com
