Noor Fares: The Visionary Jeweler Destined for Global Domination

Kristian Schmidt - Living the Dream
Kristian Schmidt was born in New York, raised in Paris, spent summers in Sweden, then packed his bags for Tokyo. His stepmother was Ingrid Bergman. His first wildlife gallery show sold out in one night. He has since photographed whale sharks in deep ocean with models in red ballgowns, shot Manta rays at midnight in 40 feet of dark water, and collaborated with WildAid on work that makes it impossible, once seen, to look away from what is being destroyed. He is living the dream. He has something up his sleeve that no one has ever seen before.
“Visibility has never been our measure of significance. We seek out artists and inspiring individuals whose work sparks curiosity, challenges assumptions, and leaves a lasting impression.”
