Kevin Arnold is featured this week on POP (Photographers on Photography). Alison McCreery spoke with Kevin about his creative process and what goes creating images that tell stories, from the production involved in shooting a road trip to the casting, styling and directing of talent required for creating the captured moments for which he is so well known.
Thank you to Alison for featuring Kevin. I’m so proud to represent him and am excited to share his interview.
Ty Milford shot a fun new Zipcar Campaign for Campbell Ewald. An epic production, he was awarded the job on a Wednesday and he and his crew were shooting the following Tuesday. They covered six shots in two days at locations from Malibu to Long Beach.
Ty attributes his success to his amazing team and his LA producer who “always gets me talent filled with personality which is truly the foundation for everything else that happens on set” and collaborates closely with him on finding the best locations.
“The concept was a series of loose, real-feeling-moments that almost had the character of someone’s Instagram feed,” adds Ty. I love the humor of the tag lines and even how it pushes some boundaries. I think that they got what they were after in terms of a response because this image shows a # search on Instagram just days after it launched—it definitely got recognized.”
“To me, there is nothing better on a shoot than to see the AD with this happy face
at the end of a long day while reviewing images. It was a more stressful than normal production, but it all turned out well in the end.”
Congratulations to Tyler and the amazing team at Campbell Ewald:
Agency: Campbell Ewald
Art Producer: Tatyana Luneva-Evenchik
Art Director: Tom Cerroni of Campbell Ewald

We are excited to share images and a behind-the-scenes video from James Quantz Jr. for the South Carolina Gamecock Athletics 2013 season, shot on location in a stadium luxury suite. Quantz was hired to shoot images for the schedule poster, advertisements and billboards. Look for them to start appearing around town starting tomorrow.
“The guys were excited to be on the poster,” adds James. “They showed up with game tape and eye black and came ready to go and we had a great time. Last year was standing poses and this year we decided to go all the way and have the players do simulated action, motions that are relevant to their position on the field and epic moments in a game—Bruce Ellington the receiver diving to catch the ball and Javedeon Clowney, the #1 NFL draft pick, doing the pointing gesture that he makes after a great play or after he sacks the quarterback.
Ellington was hilarious. He came over to the computer to see a really good capture and we asked him if he was ready to see it on billboards around town. He said ‘How about I jump one more time.’”

Ty Milford‘s work for Anheuser Busch’s NASCAR initiatives was spotted over the weekend by our producer, Elizabeth Nicole, on this huge billboard in Orlando.
Ty shot NASCAR driver, Kevin “Happy” Harvick, for St. Louis agency Osborn & Barr. Ironically, this was taken just hours before Kevin took the Checkers at the NASCAR season opener in Daytona.
Nice work Kevin – looks like great times are indeed in the cards for you this season!

Ty Milford: An oldie’ but a goodie’ was resurrected from the archive for one of Patagonia’s winter catalogs this season. I think that it was orginally published by them in the late 90′s and it brings back a lot of good memories of that time of wanderlust. I was working primarily as a mountain guide – spending springs up in Alaska on Denali, summers in the Sierra Nevada and then migrating south to the Antarctic in the winters (Austral summer). Good times. I don’t miss the incessant living out of a duffel bag, though the serinity of the Antarctic landscape and time with close friends in amazing places will always be held dear!
