Phoenix: Adrian T. Baird

Adrian T. Baird is a commercial photographer based out of Phoenix, Arizona. He specialises in people, corporate and industrial photography with a focus on using real people in their day to day work environment. The current work being shown here is a variety of examples from a few local and national companies taken last year for ads, web, billboard, profiles and cover shoots.

Recently, Adrian has been working with healthcare companies to show the effects of working during the Covid crisis as well as document the testing procedure. His most recent project involved working with a nurse and pharmacist while administering drive-through touchless testing. It was an interesting shoot, as all social distancing and PPE guidelines had to be followed by all cast, crew and extras and the photography took place in an active testing site. There was difficulty working in PPE and conveying a range of emotions while photographing a subject in a mask but it was ultimately very successful!

Client list includes: SimpliSafe, Financial Times, Independent Agent, Uber, Zenefits, Genie, Draft Kings, Messer, Georgia-Pacific, CRST, and Vermeer just to name a few.

Phoenix: Adrian T. Baird

Adrian T. Baird is a photographer currently based out of Phoenix, AZ.

Recently, Adrian has been working with HireStory and Bayard Advertising to capture the corporate lifestyle of various companies looking to expand their workforce.

Many times these companies have unique roadblocks to expansion, such as being set in a rural location, dealing with large unexpected growth or needing a unique set of skills - which can temper their ability to acquire the amount of needed staff.

Much of this work revolves around photographing current employees during their work days to effectively capture and then communicate positive and accurate narratives which highlight the differences between cultures and locations.

Arizona: Mark Skalny

“Each shot, a work of art.” The business motto of Phoenix-based photographer, Mark Skalny, epitomises the essence of his work and is carried with him to each project. Along with a creative team of experienced photo-editors and state-of-the-art equipment, Mark’s artistic intuition and in-depth understanding of light and composition results in amazing, cutting-edge images for his architectural clients.

Whether shooting a corporate office complex for the world-wide CBRE Group, Inc., luxurious custom homes for Lennar Homes, or hotels and resorts for Marriott International, Mark captures these diverse locations at the right angle and in the best light and shade. He also brings a strong work ethic with a high energy and fun-loving spirit.

Mark is a “story-teller” through the lens of his camera. The finished products, the images, tell his clients’ stories no matter how complex. He is available to travel to any location - around the corner, or around the world.

Phoenix, AZ: Paul Markow

Paul Markow is a premier commercial advertising photographer in the Southwest, but has traveled all over the world shooting for national and international clients. He has photographed travel magazines while spelunking through caves in Mexico, shot from hot air balloons over the vineyards of Napa, and even shot airplane-to-airplane in a WW2 fighter jet.

Paul's specialty is lifestyle and people photography on location. His ability to work under pressure, keep within timelines and produce some of the most complicated projects is why his life-long clients continue to call him to get the job done. Paul truly loves what he does, it is his passion and his life: he loves being behind the camera, creating beautiful images.
