As in they are not in the yellow pages under "photographer". It looks to me they it was shot with a credit card camera.... With no post processing. I believe the most important person in the creation of a document is the graphic artist not the photographer. A good graphic artist can create a stunning document with half assed photos every time. Not the case here. With either. And a good photographer with a bad graphic artist is in deep trouble.
