Real opportunity: Break the mold. Hire talented creators to tell their own stories. Reset the economics.
The Take Stock project gives partner photographers creative control to tell stories about people from their own communities. Their cast, their crew, their vision. We (agency) take a step back and act as facilitators. Best Buy fronts the $$ and photographers retain ownership. I’m proud of this work and hope ideas like this continue to get traction.

About this site: Less a portfolio. More a collection of brand snapshots through time (that paid my mortgage). Likely in need of refreshing.
More. More. More.
