Credentials: Tony Duran has photographed everyone from Beyoncé to Tom Cruise, and his work has appeared in GQ, Elle, Flaunt, Treats, Interview, and Rolling Stone. Behind the story: "I loved that Bill ['Macy's Parade,' page 108] came from the set of Shameless—[with] long, f loppy hair, scruffy, looking fully in character—but he was so willing to follow my lead and scrub up and suit it up. He, to me, is the epitome of chic." What he's looking forward to in 2015: "2015 for me is all about taking on things that are unexpected and challenging. I want to stretch a bit and put my brand of shooting on things that people don't equate with me." TONY DUR AN photographer Credentials: Paige Wiser has been a columnist, TV critic, movie critic, and deputy room mom. Behind the story: "Like all epic poets, I began my holiday tribute ['The Year That Was,' page 152] by coming up with funny words I wanted to use: 'Schnitzelhaus,' 'Icepocalypse.' 'Skullduggery' didn't make the cut." Favorite Chicago holiday tradition: "TubaChristmas at the Palmer House Hilton. The holidays are all about that bass." What she's looking forward to in 2015: "I can't wait for Dylan's Candy Bar to come to Michigan Avenue, and for the release of Hot Tub Time Machine 2. Sadly, no Cusack this time around." Credentials: Heather Talbert's work has appeared in Lucky, Teen Vogue, and Refinery29. Behind the story: "J. Ivy ['Poetic Passion,' page 74] is such a charismatic and intelligent individual. During our shoot at Promontory Point Park, we were blasting a few tracks from his collection Diggin' in the Papes, Vol. 1, and a crowd circled around us, watching him perform." Her inspiration: "Other artists: f lorists, jewelry makers, clothing design- ers... I love watching people make things by hand." What she's looking forward to in 2015: "Traveling and working in other markets. I plan on taking some workshops in Europe and South America."
