SPOTLIGHT: PHOTOGRAPHER
LUCAS BERNARD INTERVIEW BY: PHILLIP DIAS JR.
Lucas Bernard is a freelance nature and documentary photographer who grew up in a charming small town in Sussex County, New Jersey, surrounded by flourishing nature scenes and animals native to the area. Lucas was inspired from an early age by such notable photographers as Ansel Adams, Eugene W. Smith, and Sam Abell. “I remember the first time I saw Tetons and Snake River, by Ansel Adams,” he says. “I was 16 years old. I felt this surge of emotion, completely by surprise. I never realized a simple photograph could contain so much depth, so much feeling. I knew then that this was what I wanted to do.” Since then, Lucas has been privately contracted for portrait, landscape, and event photography through his personal website lucasbernardphotographer.com. He has studied fine art in professional settings as well as being self taught in many areas. This summer, Lucas plans to work on a photo essay documenting the importance of bees and their relationship with humans in nature. “I feel like this is something people have heard of, but never really paid attention to. It’s my hope that by documenting just how integral bees are to our agriculture, to our everything really, more people will take the steps that need to be done to preserve our land, our lives.”

INTERVIEW BY: PHILLIP DIAS JR.
My name is Arian Nodal. I am an Actor/ Model as well as a full-time college student. My ethnicity is Puerto-Rican and Cuban. I grew up in Elizabeth, New Jersey but raised in the woods of Blairstown, NJ where I also learned how to ride horses and stunts. A big thanks to my father and brother, Ricardo, for helping me become the professional horseback rider and stuntman. I currently live in Carlstadt living on my own. I’ve been moving my way up to the top between school, modeling and acting. I’m a down to earth, self-motivated and mellow type of guy. I’m looking forward to what my future holds for myself as I take each step little by little. I Am Zain Photography MARCH 2015 iamzainmagazine.com
