In this past Sunday’s NY Times T magazine, Richard Burbridge had a beautiful story entitled Salad Days. It’s absolutely freakin’ gorgeous. Fashionista wrote a funny little article comparing Burbridge to my Hunger Pains series and Paul Newman salad dressing. They ask the tough question: which salad dressing do you like best?
I’m honored to be included in the recent photo annual published by Archive bi-anually. My Phonak Hearing Aid Campaign with Wunderman Zurich made it in. My one page aside, it’s a pretty special book to look at. Lots of amazing work by big name photographers.
Sure, Apple spent a lot of bucks promoting the iPhone 4s. But the rage is the newly-released Shellphone. It’s a brand new outdoor campaign I shot for Royal Caribbean with JWT. Thanks to creatives Carlos Fernandez and Richie Glickman for coming up with such unique advertising in the category (I’ve heard the Carnival bigwigs are green with envy). And to Art Producers Sara Clark and Kaia Hemming for making things go super smoothly. I was even able to have a still life day and shoot the heck out of that top-secret shell phone.
Seriously, if the sea calls you, you have to take the call, right? Pics below and on the website.
It’s crazy insurance for this era of electronic information–Beazley insures businesses against data theft, loss, hacking, etc. The ad campaign portrays the dangers of businesses who don’t have this type of coverage. Thanks to creative director Michael Demos for selling advertising you wouldn’t expect to see for this category. Here’s a shot:
Take some “psyched” and sprinkle it with a dash of “surprised.” That’s how I felt to learn an image from my Phonak Hearing Aid campaign would be the cover shot for the upcoming Archive Magazine.
Thanks to art director Michael Gallman at Futurecom in Zurich Switzerland for selling such a category-shattering campaign. And to Ami Goodheart of SOTU productions and her entire team for creating the jaw-dropping “sculptumes,” as she aptly named them.

This is certainly one of the most downright fun campaigns I’ve worked on. Ami Goodheart and SOTU Productions blew my mind with their “Sculptume” designs and builds. And the entire team from Y&R Zurich gave us all such freedom to make it a work of art (big thanks!). Glad to see the Swiss Art Directors are showing it some love.
Today, NPR did a nice piece on the “hunger pains” series (where models are wearing the meals they were craving) in The Picture Show. And, as usual, a bit of controversial banter between readers in the “comments” section. If you’re so inclined, you can view the post here.
About two weeks ago I signed up for a portfolio on behance.net (a very cool sight for all kinds of creative types). I uploaded my portfolio, along with a bunch of different personal projects. A few days back the editors at behance chose to feature my “creature couture” series. Well, since then, it’s gone viral with 1000s of views and lots of blogs writing about it.
The moral: get your butts on behance. If nothing else, it’s a HUGE mother of a community.
Here’s what your profile will look like:
My niece has a 1 year old Labradoodle that she really likes and claims is the most beautiful dog in the world. My niece likes photography. My niece likes trips to NYC. I think my niece likes me. Put that all together and you get a full-on studio photoshoot, in NYC, starring “Ziggy.” All-in-all he was easier to work with than many people I shoot.
