Excerpts From Article:

DURATION: I started shooting while I was freelancing as an art director at Team One. I couldn’t find the imagery I wanted, so I shot it. That led to my first assignment: shooting for Ritz-Carlton in Vietnam. That was 2005.

STAFF: Having been an advertising creative on hundreds of commercials during my 15-plus years in the business, I know how important it is to surround yourself with a great crew. And I have a fantastic crew that I work with, starting with my producer-extraordinaire, Cathy Wilson, who makes it all happen and keeps it running smoothly.

CULTURAL INFLUENCES: I have many influences, but if there is one person who is greatly influencing me right now at this moment in time it would be Irving Penn. I want to be just like him when I grow up. That is, I want to be able to photograph anything and transform it into art – like he did. And I want to get better with age and be shooting when I’m in my 90′s – just like he did. Irving Penn was a god.

A Friend Sings At The Olympics

Posted on February 19, 2010 by Paul

Some of Paul's images of Measha

Our friend, the very talented Measha Brueggergosman, sang the Olympic Hymn at the opening ceremony in Vancouver! It’s not every day that you get to sing in front of a few billion people (estimated television viewing audience), and she did an amazing job! If you have not heard her sing before, we highly recommend that you go out and get one of her albums (“Surprise” is a particular favorite of ours…).

I have had the opportunity to shoot many extremely talented musical artists over the years, but Measha is definitely one of the most talented vocalists I have had the pleasure of working with. Not only that, but she has the personality to back up that amazing hair! It seems as if there is a bit of a lockdown on a lot of the broadcast material from the Olympics, but if you somehow manage to find a clip of Measha singing during the opening ceremony, you won’t be disappointed.

While most people go to California in the winter to relax, Team Elledge tends to head to the Golden State to work! We love the weather out there, and while some days (like the one above) see us using more umbrellas than sunscreen, we always have a good time! We have been working for a while now on this project with our friends at Addison in NYC, and all of the shoots have been great! Rain or shine, we are enjoying the opportunity to collaborate with a great agency to make great work.
