David Sims (born 1966) is a British fashion photographer who first made his name in the early 1990s with magazines such as The Face and i-D. Sims was born in Sheffield. He worked first as a photographer’s assistant with Robert Erdmann and Norman Watson. He was taken on by a photography agency and his work began to feature in editorial pages of magazines such as i-D, The Face and Vogue. He has also worked in advertising, creating images for brands such as Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, Jil Sander and Yohji Yamamoto.

Iakovos “Jake” Chapman (born 1966) and Konstantinos “Dinos” Chapman (born 1962) are British visual artists, often known as the Chapman Brothers. Their subject matter tries to be deliberately shocking, including, in 2008, a series of works that appropriated original watercolours by Adolf Hitler. In 2022, with the announcement of Jake Chapman’s solo show Me, Myself and Eye, it was disclosed that the Chapman brothers had ended their professional association.
