"I'm more than a photographer and director. I'm a problem solver. A creative human being with a deep well of curiosity about places, things and ― most of all ― people. I find them fascinating. Their interests, their passions, their dreams.

I'm a storyteller. And I've always been, from my early days as a reporter and editor for newspapers to the last decade working with specialised creative agencies such as Bader Rutter and Hanson Dodge, sector-leading businesses such as Samsung Neurologica and Pioneer Seed, and startups such as Agricycle.

My experiences have taught me to work under tight deadlines, to stay cool under pressure, to focus on the tiniest of details with an eye on the bigger picture, and of course to collaborate well with others."

Adam Ryan Morris is based in the Midwest and available for assignments worldwide.

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.

Coming from the advertising world, he has a unique understanding of the creative process and a real appreciation of what creatives go through to bring their ideas to light.

"For many of us, the Covid-19 pandemic brought our businesses crashing to a standstill overnight. Of course, everyone's circumstances will impact how they experience these unprecedented times. Having worked as a successful commercial photographer for nearly 30 years, I am trying to view this as a rare gift of time that enables me to take stock, reflect on my career journey and plan for a return to normality, whatever shape that normality might take. In a similarly reflective vein, for this Spotlight, I’ve chosen images that span almost 16 years from ones taken on my first full-frame 35mm DSLR to those from my last commission just before the lockdown.

I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say I can’t wait for an end to this social isolation, so that we can all get back to doing what we love best, providing the highest level of professional service while striving to find ever more creative visual ways of telling our client’s stories to help them promote their goods and services. Stay safe and hope to catch up on the other side of this."

Nico Marques’ easy-going, yet highly focused approach to capturing images is shaped by his rigorous training in architecture and photography, as well as subsequent years of experience as a commercial and residential designer for leading architecture firms in Los Angeles.

"Photography is about telling a story and I've been working as a commercial photographer for over 20 years. Whether it be through one frame or a series of images, I love making photographs that speak about the subject. I'm drawn to location choices that complement a subject yet recede enough to allow the subject to dominate the image.

Since growing up in Houston, TX in my father's printing company, I've always enjoyed the meticulous nature of my business. From operating an offset press at the age of 15, I learned the importance of quality craftsmanship that has remained an important aspect throughout my life. What I truly love about photography is both the technical and artistic sides. It's the balance of both of these that create interesting images that resonate with the viewer.

In this day of digital media and our constant bombardment by visual clutter, it is so important to make imagery that tells its story in an elegant and unique way. Whether it's a single still photograph or a series, I enjoy making images that successfully communicate my client's vision.

I live in beautiful Grapevine, TX along with my wife Rebecca and our two kids, Noah, 17 and Annalise,15.
