  While Mary Pratt, founder of Mission Photo Production, frequently works on advertising campaigns and car shoots, she enjoys the diversity that comes with the territory. 

  Recently, Mission produced photo and film footage for long-time client Daimler/Mercedes in Texas and Oregon, as well as stills for Chevrolet in Detroit and Chicago. In addition, Mission and North South Productions co-produced an ad campaign for Wempe in New York City. 

  “One of the aspects I love about my career is the variety,” Mary reflects. “No job is alike, and yet each project feeds the next one - often in unpredictable ways. By continuously building upon experiences, I can offer clients a platform on which their concepts and needs can be realised successfully.”

  "Producing photo shoots could never be described as monotonous - its challenges are ever changing, and sometimes very refreshing. One day you work with supermodels, the next you are wrangling a group of farmers who are eager to go back to harvesting."

  For Weis Markets’ “Your neighbor’s our farmer” campaign, Mission was hired to find a picturesque farm in Pennsylvania and liaise with real farmers who supply the supermarket with produce to gather together for a photo shoot. And the supermodel? Stay tuned - images from the new Wempe campaign, photographed by Bettina Lewin and co-produced with North South Productions in Cape Town, are to be released any day now.

  Mission has also been busy with car shoots, with new images for Mercedes photographed in Houston, and Chevrolet shot in Chicago and Detroit.

  Mission Photo Production's year started off with several studio jobs and a car shoot. For Mercedes, Mission hit the road for three weeks to produce four separate projects rolled into one: still photography, two editorials, and a film shoot involving the partial closure of an interstate highway. Simon Harsent photographed a trained squirrel for Old English, and Mitya Kushelevich did a series of portraits for Kaspersky, the antivirus software.

  “It’s all in the mix”, says Mary Pratt, the founder of Mission Photo Production. “From studio shoots to travel projects; car shoots to working with celebrities; editorial to advertising - we enjoy them all."

  It has been a multifaceted summer for Mission Photo Production. For Rolex, a Frank Lloyd Wright jewel in Florida, scouted by Mission, proved to be the perfect backdrop for a portrait of an emerging tennis player. Following this, Mission produced three fashion stories for the venerable German department store Ludwig Beck, photographed by David Burton c/o Brigitta Horvat. Mission also produced an eyewear and watches shoot for Uli Holz and Davidoff, and when Kai-Uwe Gundlach undertook a whirlwind world tour for Smart, Mission orchestrated the New York portion of the shoot.

  Mission Photo Production is gearing up for what looks to be a fourth quarter full of exciting challenges. Mary Pratt is approaching the projects on her table with a sharp eye towards the creative needs and the comfort of her clients, while she maintains a healthy respect for the budgetary constraints of current market conditions. Like engineering a bridge with exactly the right amount of steel, there is an art to producing a beautiful campaign with economy. Mary prides herself on this skill.

  "Production," says Mary Pratt, "with all its intricate details, is like assembling puzzle pieces to form one big, beautiful picture. Over and over, I find it to be a wonderful challenge."

  Mary is the founder of Mission Photo Production Inc., a New York-based full service production company. Born and raised in Switzerland, she is fluent in several languages and has been producing in New York City and around the world for over 15 years for some of the top photographers, creatives and clients. Her meticulous approach in planning and budgeting is appreciated by plenty of repeat clients, but she is alert to the fact “that things can change in a heartbeat, and so you’ve got to stay flexible and re-think situations constantly.”

  Clients include Audi, IBM, Mercedes-Benz, Microsoft, Motorola, Rolex, Smart, UBS and XL Capital.

  "We are gearing up for a busy fall," says Mary, "and are excited to be working on so many interesting projects. Stay tuned!"
