Evan Kafka shot a feature story on “Hunting Excuses” for Outdoor Life Magazine’s November issue. Working with Justin Appenzeller and Jim Walsh at Outdoor Life, Evan and his crew helped to illustrate some of the hilarious excuses hunters use to skip out on the big day. See below for some of our favorite images and outtakes.
Evan worked with stylist Ellen Silverstein to procure bundles of corn stalks, fall leaves, a small Japanese Maple tree and 350 pounds of sand! Luckily, Some Studio is lovated in the heart of NYC’s flower district, convenient for those last minute needed corn stalks… Assistants Josh Freiwald, Richard Solinger and Ellen’s crew (August Goulet and Lisa Metropolis) all worked hard to create fields, wind, beach and a fall leaf pile. Model Kevin Witt withstood the craziness and heat under 4 layers of hunting gear.
Ryan Pfluger was chosen by Time to shoot the students who make up Milwaukee’s Alliance School, the only gay-friendly charter school in the US. Check out Ryan’s beautiful images of the teenagers that attend Alliance as well as a short feature on Ryan’s own experience as documented by LightBox, Time’s photo blog.

San Francisco: go see this exhibition of beautiful black and white fine art photography by our very own stock contributor Jason Langer!
SFO – San Francisco International Airport – Museum – Jason Langer: Berlin
Jason Langer’s passion for photography dates to his childhood in Ashland, Oregon. Groomed on a Mamiya C330 twin-lens reflex camera, Langer developed his work in a makeshift hall closet-cum-darkroom in his family home before progressing to more advanced technology at the University of Oregon, where he earned a degree in photography. After graduation, he worked as an apprentice and printer for some of the San Francisco Bay Area’s most renowned fine-art photographers, including Ruth Bernhard, Arthur Tress, and Michael Kenna.
Langer is best known for his psychological and carefully rendered compositions of contemporary urban life. Following New York, New Orleans, and Paris, Berlin is the fourth city to capture Langer’s attention, and after multiple visits, a distinctive portrait has taken form. In choosing Berlin as a subject, Langer is motivated to research and record the city’s past before it disappears. Berlin always seems to be renewing and remaking itself. Unlike Paris or Venice, which have maintained strict laws protecting their architectural history, Berlin has been less concerned with preserving its streetscapes. After the Second World War, large sections of the city, and many of the buildings that remained, were demolished. Berlin’s spirit of urban renewal pre-dates the post-war period. Each of the national governments based in Berlin—the 1871 German Empire, the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany, East Germany, and now the reunified Germany—initiated ambitious reconstruction programs with little care for assimilating earlier styles, perhaps reflecting a desire to forget the past altogether.
The twelve images in this exhibition concentrate on Berlin’s architecture, and in particular the remaining architectural elements from the past. It is Langer’s eye for the city’s mythological past that animates and connects many of his images of Berlin. From the statues of Day and Night on top of the Anhalter Bahnhof to the striding heroes on top of the Reichstag; from the fountain Neptunbrunnen with its Roman god commanding the four main rivers of Prussia to the Brandenburg Gate’s Victoria, riding a chariot of four horses; from the Berliner Dom’s Protestant angels to the Siegessäule’s winged Victoria, Berlin is shown to be a city still animated—or haunted—by antiquity.

Shots Magazine featured a story in their Cannes issue on Leo Burnett‘s recent opening of a New York office, spearheaded by CCO Jay Benjamin. Jay and his team approached us with great ideas and let Ryan Schude really bring his imagination and technical skills to light, creating a hysterical, gorgeous image of the quirky bunch. Working with Jay Benjamin, Kieran Antill and Shaina Stigler at LB as well as Casey Levine and Monique Perreault from KWC Productions and brilliant hair and makeup artist Jennifer Fleming of Facemaid, the shoot went off without a hitch – allowing for maximum creativity and freedom. Guests at The Plaza that day may have been surprised to see a crowd of hunters, polo players, debutantes and giant scissor toting gentlemen milling around the Grand Ballroom staircase….

July 2011 | NEW WORK
We thought you might like to take a break from those emails (or for the lucky ones, that beach chair) and see some of the work our photographers have shot this last month. We promise, it won’t take too long – then you can be back to the sand, backyards and roof decks to relax. From great summer dishes to coveted beach homes, we’ve got something for everyone.
Kang Kim has us tempted to sneak out of work and fire up the grill with these beautiful shots of various marinades. Kang shot four of the Lee Brothers recipes for the July issue of Bon Appetit. Inspired by global flavors, the marinated dishes are a perfect match for Kang’s unique aesthetic. Check out some more of Kang’s food work here.
Spencer Jones has taken an assignment from Georgia Pacific to shoot their new line of paper towel products and created unexpectedly beautiful, abstract works of art. With precise lighting and careful styling, the images take the product to a new level. We can’t wait to see more of this work.
Ryan Schude has recently returned from the latest Phoot Camp in Marfa, Texas. We’re in love with Ryan’s portrait of fellow photographer, Paul Octavious, taken at White Sands, New Mexico. Ryan also captured the beautiful Isabelle Albuquerque of Hecuba during filming for Keith Musil‘s video “Holograms”. Ryan brings his sense of wonder to each image.
Evan Kafka has once again created hysterical, emotive images of babies for a recent editorial client. The concept behind the shoot had to do with research showing that there may be a genetic predisposition to crime. Not only was there fabulous talent, but Evan was able to capture those fantastic expressions that keep us laughing. See more of his baby images here.
Trevor Dixon shot the beach home of interior designer and architect, Joanne Hudson, for the July issue of Philadelphia Magazine. His crisp and clean shots show the beauty of the house while also revealing the serenity that lies within the home. The ten page spread gave us a glimpse into the beautiful summer life of Hudson and had us daydreaming for a place of our own.
Adam Taylor‘s intimate series Flesh and Blood simultaneously shows us the wide-eyed amazement of childhood and the true beauty of the natural world. This is one of our favorite images from the series, a snippet of freedom, relaxation and marvel seen from a child’s point of view. Check out the rest of the series here.
Ryan Pfluger‘s shot of Bob Mould for New York Magazine gave us an intimate glimpse into the personality of an influential musician and author. Bob Mould, of Husker Du fame, sat with Pfluger in a portrait session in Washington, DC where he opened up and allowed for a great synergy between subject and photographer. Ryan also shot journalist Jose Antonio Vargas for a gripping New York Times Magazine essay where Vargas announces that he is an undocumented immigrant. The article is a fantastic read and a moving call for action.
