Why I love Shooting Healthcare and Pharmaceutical

01.25.12 | permalink [Post a Comment]

This is a very personal post but as an artist I think our personal experiences and passions are what truly feed our creativity. I know their is a big national debate about healthcare, insurance, etc. but I have seen firsthand what our modern healthcare system can do for people who need it and I have had great experiences with everyone along our journey. I feel like when I work for any company in the healthcare industry I become a small part of it and I like that. Last year my son had 8 surgeries. I photographed this during his 7th surgery. They are always emotional experiences. My son, Bjorn, is the bravest person I know. Take a look at all the photos and take some time to remember what you are thankful for in life. See the Photo Story Here.

Exactly how I have always tried to live my life

12.02.11 | permalink [Post a Comment]

So True. This is one of the most important things I am trying to give my son. I am constantly amazed at the boundaries people put around themselves. I hear them complaining about something related to someone else and yet they are limiting themselves way more than others and do not even see it. Even "Scientific Fact" changes regularly. I have had the privilege of photographing many of the world top scientist and I often walk away from those experiences thinking they are much more creative than artists or people we typically think of as "Creative". Watch below.




Pharmaceutical Hybrid Still and Video Shoot

11.22.11 | permalink [Post a Comment]
New edit of our footage from a recent Pharmaceutical library shoot. We love these hybrid video and still library shoots because they provide tons of creative challenge and reward. It is particularly fun to see a singular brand voice being used in print, web, TV and all the extensions of our current media world.

Envisioning the Shot

11.19.11 | permalink [Post a Comment]

Finished another TV shoot last night. At the end of the night the Creative Director and I looked at the Playback and knew we got the shot we both envisioned 2 months ago when we started this project. It is always good to end a shoot like that. It is fun to look back over the last few months and see all the planning, production, testing, sun angle calculating, shooting and work pay off and come together like your vision. Thanks for a great shoot everyone. (you know who you are)


Thanks for the post Workbook

Amazing advice from Ira Glass

10.31.11 | permalink [Post a Comment]

I have posted this before but it really is something to remember for life.

From Ira Glass . . .
"What nobody tells people who are beginners--and I really wish someone had told this to me . . . is that all of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, and it's just not that good. It's trying to be good, it has potential, but it's not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase. They quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn't have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know it's normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I've ever met. It's gonna take awhile. It's normal to take awhile. You've just gotta fight your way through."

INSPIRATIONS

Philippe Seclier's film "An American Journey: In Robert Frank's Footsteps" is well worth watching for photography lovers. The blurry cinematography does become a distraction after awhile, but none the less, it is a very inspiring look at Robert Frank's book "The Americans".
