Neil Mota P H O T O G R A P H E R Montreal, Canada-based photographer Neil Mota has snapped fashionable people and products for clients that include Sid Lee, Sony, ELLE and Experience, Bombardier’s private jet magazine. Mota drew on his 15 years of fashion and beauty portraiture for his first Fairmont Magazine assignment, turning his camera on California living (cover and p. 46). Fresh off a family trip to New York City, Mota is still experiencing wanderlust: “I would love to go to Africa next.”

DIGITAL EDITOR When she’s not at work on Fairmont Magazine, Renée Morrison is busy as a writer and editor for Mercedes-Benz magazine, Expe rience and enRoute magazine online. For “California Living” (p. 46) she traveled to the Golden State to investigate the enviable West Coast lifestyle, sipping an equal number of green juices and craft cocktails in between surf and yoga sessions. “The clichéd Californian might not exist, but I definitely had fun trying to become one,” she says.

Steve McCurry
Erica Knecht
PHOTOGRAPHER Since the release of “Afghan Girl,” Steve McCurry’s iconic 1984 National Geographic cover photo, the Philadelphia native’s photojournalism has earned him an unprecedented four first-prize World Press Photo awards, among other industry accolades. This issue of Fairmont Magazine showcases images from his recent 7 Princesses exhibit in Dubai (p. 34) – a stunning collection depicting powerful Emirati women from a photographer famous for capturing the humanity of his subjects.
PHOTOGRAPHER Jet-setting photographer Erica Knecht was only too eager to capture the art and artisans of her adopted home of Indonesia for “Jakartisans” (p. 62). “This place has stolen my heart,” Knecht says – quite a statement for someone who has lived in seven countries, including India and Japan. While admittedly charmed by the capital city, Knecht was also enchanted by the simpler life while visiting the Java Mountain Coffee plantation. “My big-city kids were fascinated by rural life.”
