B&W I

B&W I

There are a series of photos I’ve never posted up here for lack of having somewhere to actually put them. At some point I’ll need to come back and reorganize these but here are 2 from a series of 6 I shot back in 2007.

As with any of the images on the site just click on the image to see it larger.

Portrait of an Agency at Work

Advertising Agency Capabilities

The task was to show the principles of Coates Kokes at work, highlighting the capabilities of the agency. I tried to stylize it and give it some personality and pop, bringing some light on them to try to highlight the thinking that goes into the process of working through a creative problem.

PUSH opening video

PUSH Your Business

Earlier this year we were working on an experimental website for PUSH Your Business, a consulting firm that helps businesses maximize their value throughout the entire life of the venture. Part of the concept for the project involved an opening animation of character pushing the letters in for the logo. We shot this footage to eventually turn into a simple vector animation but never had the opportunity to actually include it in the site.

I don’t know if it will ever see the light of day as a final project but I thought it was worth posting up here.

The Portland Plan Postcard

Portland Plan - Who Gives a Rip?
The Portland Plan PostcardCoates Kokes is working with the city on marketing for the Portland Plan.

The Portland Plan is a people’s plan to help our city prioritize investments and shape what Portland will look like in 30 years. Get involved. Great things rarely happen by accident.

I shot the photo we’re calling Granny Franny. Very pleased with the personality I was able to bring through and how the color worked out. She was fantastic to work with, as well as very focused on making sure we got something to drink on the way out.

Freedom on the Fence

For a few years now I’ve been working with a former professor of mine, Andrea Marks, on a film she’s been working on for almost a decade called Freedom on the Fence. It tells the story of the Polish Poster and the fascinating successes the designers had under communism and the utter failure the work became under capitalism.

Part of my role with the film involved the final edit and mix as well as cutting together a trailer of it.

Coates Kokes Employee Portraits

As part of the redesign of our Coates Kokes website we wanted to shoot new portraits of the entire staff that shows them in a sort of light and unique way. We wanted to convey a sense of authenticity and honestly while trying to buck the normal corporate headshot style.

I shot them over a couple days and have been happy with how they’ve turned out. Here’s a few selects from the 19 portraits. Check out the rest of them at www.coateskokes.com/people.
