Author Information

Andrea Richards writes about cultural history, forgotten philosophical systems, and life in Los Angeles for a variety of organizations and publications, such as Believer, BUST, CicLAvia, make/shift magazine, and LA Weekly. She is a contributing writer to Los Angeles magazine and the author of the forthcoming book, 500 Hidden Secrets of Los Angeles. Her first book, Girl Director: A How-To Guide for the First-Time, Flat-Broke Film and Video Maker, was a celebration of women's history and DIY filmmaking that Kim Gordon called ""a true reminder of the possibilities."" An avid fan of LA-based anything and an enthusiastic proponent of indie publishing, Richards is proud to be part of the Narrated Objects collective. Born in 1968, the son of an artist, Giovanni Simeone studied photography in Milan, where he began contributing to Bell'Italia magazine from its very first issue. In the early 1990s, he moved to Germany to work for a photo agency, then spent nearly three years traveling the world before settling in Paris.There, he started an exclusive collaboration with Le Figaro, producing more than fifty feature stories. During frequent trips back to Italy, he founded Simephoto (www.simephoto.com), a photography agency specializing in travel and landscape imagery. Thirty years later, Simephoto brings together around fifty of Europe's top photographers and is recognized as a leading agency in the field. Its portfolio includes clients such as National Geographic Traveler, Le Figaro, Outside, Geo Germany, Stern, la Repubblica, The Sunday Times, and The Guardian, as well as major international publishers, including Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, and Fodor's. In 2011, Simephoto launched its own publishing house, Simebooks, with photography at the heart of every project. As an author, Giovanni Simeone has published Not Food for Old Men (2015) and Los Angeles Cocktails (2017). Forthcoming titles include Baja California Peninsula (as photo editor) and Los Angeles (2025). Simebooks releases about a dozen new titles each year, with a strong focus on promoting local culture and landscapes through unique and original photographic campaigns.
