Los Angeles: Johnny Valentine
The creation myth of Johnny Valentine:
Kevin Bennett is an award-winning photographer and commercial director whose work possesses a rare combination of sophistication and youthful irreverence. Kevin’s unique style has taken him all across the world. He grew up in a small town in rural Virginia (the kind of place where you learn to invent your own fun), and cut his teeth holding the camera while his older, much cooler brothers did amazing skate tricks.
Driven by the notion that “work gets work”, Kevin’s sheer enthusiasm for his assignments is contagious. To their surprise, Kevin now holds the camera for globally recognised agencies and brands.
"He still can't kickflip."- Kevin’s brothers.
Select clients include Ogilvy, Uber Eats, Hypno, The North Face, Arnold Worldwide, Med Men, Made, The Martin Agency and more.
