In Mississippi:
In her latest project, Atlanta photographer Leah Overstreet took some time to reconnect with film photography. She decided on photographing in her home state of Mississippi, The Magnolia State, where her first love of making portraits began.
Leah spent a Sunday afternoon with some talented photographer friends photographing in and around the Mississippi Delta region.
Leah loves meeting people and hearing their stories. During her trip, she had the privilege of serendipitously meeting and photographing a woman who knew her grandmother, as well as another woman whose grandmother had known her dad when he was a boy. Leah plans on going back to photograph more portraits when she is home for the winter, both in the Delta and in various parts of Mississippi.

In Texas:
Scott Slusher’s Ranch 6666 project is more or less a lifelong one. Scott grew up with a love for the American Southwest and cowboy culture, both of which are primal influences on his work. So when Scott has ideas for clients with western related products, he stakes out at ranches for photoshoots, as well as for personal fine art work.
A few of Scott’s buddies were doing day work at Ranch 6666, and after making a few calls, he packed up his saddle, teepee, and gear. He was ready to head out to shoot and camp for 4 days.
Scott has been very fortunate to be allowed access to these ranches. Because of safety reasons, they don’t let just anyone out there. Scott is the perfect candidate to gain this access because of his passion and ample experience in this type of work.
Waking up before the sunrise and enjoying breakfast in a chuckwagon with cowboys, Scott was able to follow the cowboy’s workflow and figure out the best spots to take pictures without getting in their way.
Scott loves experiencing this lifestyle at various ranches while getting to know new people and work on his horsemanship skills along the way. Scott finds it very interesting to see how each ranch works differently and if the skills of their fathers are still being used today.

In New York:
Beardwood & Co. recently hired Jennifer May to photograph packaging for Sabra’s new product launch. She received the call during a shoot where she was on-set for a cookbook. Jen had no time to work on a proposal so she quickly had Executive Producer, Craig Oppenheimer at Wonderful Machine, do the back and forth for her.
Jen worked with her favorite prop stylist, Barb Fritz, to prop drop a variety of little-weathered bowls and wooden spoons.
She also enjoyed being part of a second rebranding campaign for Chicken of the Sea. The designers at CBX had very loose sample art and simple recipes for the food stylist.
Jennifer was challenged to create beautiful food that could be printed a little larger than a postage stamp. She enlisted food stylist and long-time recipe developer at Gourmet magazine, Paul Grimes, for help. The food needed to look elegant, relaxed, accessible, and delicious. She enjoyed watching Paul drape slivers of purple onion across mackerel fillets and place a pepper garnish in the most graceful fashion.
Jen is looking forward to seeing all of these products on shelves in grocery stores. The Sabra Spreads line launched in August, and the redesigned cans, tins, and boxes for Chicken of the Sea just became available this past December.
