...... Check out Bauers new campaign, Own The Moment, at www.bauer.com
We shot this campaign a while back and the final product is really cool.
As Minnesota gears up for hockey season from the pee-wees to high school, "Own The Moment" allows hockey players of all ages to have the chance to star
in a Bauer commercial. Hope to see you on set!
.......................... We're doing a little re-branding here, working on a new logo at the moment and re-paginating our portfolios...it is looking like they will be bigger and badder than ever, and more of them!
................................. A second trip to Cleveland in a month left us shooting the corn and soy bean harvest in a region that produces A LOT of corn & soybeans. We ended up on top of grain elevators, inside 2 million bushel corn bins, riding in combines and taking in scenic Ohio sunrises. All and all, it was a great wrap to a project that left our client with a great new library of images. Time to sew that winter wheat and hope for more rain next year...
The importance of a hybrid shoot is pulling of stills and motion at the same time. Working quick to fulfill all aspects of these shoots is an awesome challenge, one that allows us to work in ways thought impossible even a few years ago. Thought I would share a teaser from a recent shoot that allowed me to shoot just that. A library of images that also was accompanied by a motion shoot. Here are a few samples of the motion, just to give an idea for how they go hand in hand to better the brand...

Alaska, the last frontier. Until my maiden voyage a few weeks ago for a shoot, the title did not make that much sense. After a short week there, I have a better understanding for the title. We had an awesome time shooting Mountain Hardware gear in the vast, expansive landscapes that Alaska has to offer. Very much looking forward to the return trip. From there we bypassed MN straight to another project in the mid-west & finally back to good old MPLS...
....... A few weeks on the road have taken us on some pretty cool shoots. With much more coming, just throwing up a few stills from the first part of a shoot we just wrapped in Cleveland, Ohio with the advertising agency FLM. We had a couple of great days shooting this agriculture project and am excited to get back and keep it moving forward. Many thanks to Dave, Mitch, Kelsey, Morgan and everyone else who helped out...

I am very happy to announce the new partnership between Jeff Cerise and Alexander Zoltai Photography. Jeff will be my new agent and we'll be taking our new team to the streets as of today. Very excited about what will come out of this. Take a look at Jeff's site and roster here.

Just wrapped a motion/still project with Saint Anyway in MPLS. Focusing on capturing motion while they recorded their third album in Northeast, we moved around the recording process for two days, while trying our darndest to not make a peep. As soon as they stopped recording, I would pop off a few stills but this was a project that focused almost entirely on motion. Sweet!
.... Just wrapped a Target shoot. Always a pleasure to work with the good folks from Target as we updated images in and around their stores. We were brought in to refresh their lifestyle images of both shoppers and store members. It was a blast as we moved quick to capture everything we could in a short amount of time. Many people to thank, especially Mark, Jeanne, Katherine all of our talent and everyone at 10th St who helped make this happen.
..... Back from a Patagonia shoot out west. A few stills for the moment...there will be more to share soon, so check back for updates on what was a very fun project.
Getting prepped for a cool shoot early tomorrow...

Had a great shoot a few weeks ago in not so sunny Orlando, FL. The aftermath of hurricane Debbie made for our outside, on-location shoot to be a wet one. After a trip to buy gloshes with our ADs, we were able to keep ourselves dry and keep the shoot moving quickly. In the end, we got some great images, and it doesn't even look like there were gail force winds! Thanks very much to everyone involved, especially: Lindsay, Mandy, Melinda, Chris, Clarke, Tommy, Eric and the good guys at Knox Nurseries...
...Oooooohhh boy are things getting hot out there. Some of us are even playing ball under the vail of night just to stay cool. Lots going on this July. Crazy to think that as of the 3rd there are not many days when the cameras will not be out this month. Lots of great projects, both in the motion and still family, that will take us around the country shooting. Can't say much about what the projects are at the moment, but keep checking back for updates. New motion debuts to coming in the upcoming weeks!
