world photography organisation

What an absolute honor and pleasure it was to speak at the World Photography Organisation's first US Festival held at Left Space Studios in San Francisco. I was asked to participate on a panel presentation and discussion about Marketing & Commercializing alongside photographers RJ Muna, Elliott Erwitt, Brian Smith, and marketing director Rhiannon MacFadyen. The panel was expertly moderated by photo editor Scott Thode. While my focus was espousing the keys to a successful, long-term photographer/agent relationship as well as the strategy for marketing a multi-faceted photographer like RJ Muna, each panel member shared his or her unique perspective on the topic. It was great fun and I look forward to the next opportunity (London, Shanghai, Sao Paulo...?)

frito lay shoot

We had a fantastically collaborative photo shoot for Frito Lay last week. Michael Lamotte was selected to shoot the Portfolio ad campaign for Goodby Silverstein & Partners, and when in the 11th hour they added some lifestyle kid shots, Margaret Lampert agreed to fly in from Boston to contribute her expertise! With amazing food styling by Stephanie Greenleigh, great prop and wardrobe styling by Hiroshi, adorable kids from Blackwell Files, perfect sets by Scene 2, great clients from Frito and a really fun creative team from Goodby, it just doesn't get any better than this! Cool studio shots compliments of Bruce James, shots of Margaret compliments of my iPhone.

congratulations RJ Muna...

...for winning 1st place in the Fashion category of the 2010 APA National Photo Contest!

ddb san francisco

I was on my way to a portfolio show at DDB this morning when the traffic on 101 all but halted. As I was stopped and not moving, I glanced down at the Facebook newsfeed and saw Norman Maslov's posting that the Golden Gate Bridge was closed due to an injury accident. Wondering whether or not I should turn around, I called Nick at DDB, and he said he'd save the conference room and 'guard' my food until I got there. The bridge opened and I slowly made my way in, and as I got to Columbus Ave., Candace Gelman called me on my cell, from the next traffic lane over. After spending my hour long ride (accompanied by Norman and Candace by cell), I finally got to the agency and had a great show, thanks to the cheerleading efforts of Nick and Issy.
