The creative industry relies on new talent to shape its future, introduce new trends and ideas, and make calls for change. With this in mind, Creative Review has interviewed 14 people across the fields of photography, design, illustration, creative tech and more to see what they make of the industry today. Many have already secured commissions from major brands or have thousands of followers across social media. All have experiences to share – some good, some bad – that the industry should be listening to. Plus remember to make a note of their names, as you may be looking at the work of future stars.
