Earlier this year I was approached by Addison Design to photograph annual report for Loews corporation.  This was the first year the client decided to invest in original photography and they were looking for graphic and iconic.  Claudia Kefalas was the lead designer on the project and she came up with the idea of using [...]

A couple months back Fast Co. hired me to shoot their wanted section.  The section normally consists of some very cool or unusual products they profile.  After discussing with Photo Director Meghan Hurley we decided to collaborate on a video that would compliment the stills running in the magazine that would go up on Fast [...]

Back in March I was approached by Money Photo Director Ryan Cadiz to conceptualize an image for a story about making yourself better apt to fitting in with a younger work force.  I pitched a couple ideas including the sketch below, the idea being a kit that you could bring to work to help blend [...]

I was tapped to shoot three images [...]

This shot had to be created twice with two different [...]
