Brent Herrig
New York - Chicago
"Finally, 2021 is here! We have learned a lot from the past year and one of the best things we have taken away is that contactless shoots can be part of any project moving forward. We are still encouraging everyone to take full advantage of the safe photoshoot set protocol that we have in place. This gives everyone the option to be safe while still producing great new content."
Your clients still need to create something that will tell a story and capture the appetite appeal of the product. Photographer and director Brent Herrig can help. Based in New York and Chicago, Brent supports in-house 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 next week or next quarter. Either way, let's all push forward and make tomorrow together.
Some of Brent's recent clients including Nespresso, Marvelous Waters, and Botanist Gin rely on Brent to capture their vision of food, drinks, and products in the most collaborative, efficient way possible.

Jeff Ludes
Los Angeles
Under new safety protocols, Jeff and his team shot successfully throughout the remainder of 2020. One of the first big shoots to put new safety measures in place was Jeff’s project for the Hyundai Elantra, shot over eight days in the LA area. With a mix of agency and clients both on-set and viewing remotely, the team shot a wide variety of images, with real-life couples as talent.
Below the California desert skies and into the night, Jeff shot with the Acura team, for a special edition of their NSX supercar. Once the shot list was all checked off, Jeff pushed a bit further, coming home with some dramatic bonus shots that weren’t expected at the outset, but turned out to be the highlights of the project.
But the most remote project lately was Jeff’s personal shoot of a classic 911 Turbo, speeding across a snow-covered Jackson Hole. With the vehicle being produced in CGI by Mainworks in Germany, it was a great way to welcome the winter, and now to kick off 2021!
