 | Jenny RisherJenny Risher graduated from Detroitβs College for Creative Studies with a bachelorβs degree in photography. Her natural visual sensibility has afforded her the opportunity to photograph for a wide range of clients spanning from magazines and publishing companies to nonprofit organizations and television shows. For this issue, Risher shot Sheefy McFly, which is not a first for the photographer. A portrait of the artist can be found in D-Cyphered: Portraits by Jenny Risher, Risherβs exhibit, which is a permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. | |
 | Joe VaughnJoe Vaughn, who photographed the tastemakers on this yearβs Best Dressed list, is a Detroit-based photographer and cinematographer who has traveled nationally and internationally to capture images for magazines like Conde Nast Traveler, GQ, and Sports Illustrated; clients like Food Network and Coca Cola; and celebrities like Eminem, Kid Rock, and Mario Batali.
