Scott Reed, attracting the interest of heavy hitting sponsors, is finally able to pursue his lifelong dream of racing NASCAR.
Congrats, Scott, and good luck!!!!!! - the crew
(OK, we're just having some fun at Scott's expense with this lighting test for an upcoming project)
You can imagine how proud I was when my kid emailed me a snap from his iPhone of the LeBron James Coke POS asking if I shot it. I usually I have to tell him that I am shooting the Jack Daniel's ads just before lecturing him about underage drinking. Coke and the Olympics - such a wholesome client.
What I didn’t tell him about was the altercation I had on set with Steven Lopez when he refused to take direction…. and how big of a kick LeBron got out of watching me try to defend myself. Meanwhile Shawn Johnson and Sandra Richards were goofing off trying to come up with their own poses.... It's a wonder we got any work done at all. FK producer Scott Reed and the Momentum Worldwide team did an excellent job coordinating the hundreds of shots we needed to get done in the limited amount of time we had with the athletes.

After a hectic winter of commercial work, Mark Katzman was off to Morocco for some adventure and photographic inspiration...
I knew Morocco was a photographer’s playground. What I didn’t expect, however, was how challenging it would be to capture the full spirit of the place and it’s people in a still image. It became clear immediately that the presence of my camera sapped most scenes of their genuine character, exacerbating the challenge of capturing the real feel of the place. This image was made early one morning as the city of Marakesch was coming to life. It is comprised of several exposures I took from a secluded spot in an alley.

Last night FK was pleased to host a discussion about the creative process with ReBUS, part of Ad Club St Louis. Photographer Mark Katzman and retoucher Curt von Diest presented case studies showing recent projects. The process from the initial concept all the way through to the final art work was discussed. We also looked at the role of stock photography and the pros and cons of using stock in comp layouts. A dynamic discussion followed. We all had a great time hosting this event and really enjoyed meeting everyone that came. ReBUS is welcome back at FK any time.
