Brand Video for Institute for Protein Innovation

When you combine exciting innovation with the power to transform the world and save lives, along with fascinating and super intelligent individuals, you just let the story tell itself.

Photographing 13 Athletes in 20 minutes.

I recently got a call from a friend of mine who asked me to come to his kid’s elite hockey team practice and take individual portraits of the entire team.

Ladies and gentlemen…the New England Knights.
