"The photography and film world is about problem solving. It is about taking what you are given and creating something entirely unique; no matter the time constraints, the weather obstacles, or the personalities involved. It is a true art form of flexibility, adaptation and evolution."

Cameron is represented by The Gren Group.

Happy New Year!

"The making of a portrait is a visual dance; non.threatening, no judgment, simply a trust that something will emerge.

As I look through the lens, it's just a feeling from my heart, to my brain, to my right thumb. The shutter button is pressed; that moment has passed forever, but inside my camera, the image of that moment is now preserved. I can't wait to see it, because the photograph is evidence that something magical happened.

The art of photography is minimal, decisive, a wonder, and always a gift." Bonnie Schiffman.

Curve Digital has been busy on all fronts for the last 12 months.

Not only are the ‘Good Guys’ retouching imagery for some of the world's best automotive photographers, but they are pushing ahead with game engine rendering technologies to create some stunning photographs and videos.

"My love for travel and meeting new people has continued to motive my work.

I’m excited to share new projects with you all and looking forward to more great experiences coming up!"

With Fall in full swing this means shooting for 2023 has begun!

Planning and strategising is the topic of the day, and that means new food and drink content needs to be created (customers are spending more on experiences, finally feel like they can have those parties, and are traveling more too). So let's capture something that will tell a story and highlight the appetite appeal of the product. Photographer and director Brent Herrig can help. Based in New York and London, Brent supports in-house design for brands and agency clients to achieve stress-free productions that hit the brief.

"We are excited to work with you and your team as soon as in a few weeks or next quarter. Either way, let's all push forward into 2023 and make tomorrow together."

Some of Brent's recent clients, including Shake Shack, Pepsi, and Diageo, rely on Brent to capture their vision of food, drinks, and products in the most collaborative, efficient way possible.
