"In the most basic terms, I click a button to capture a split second in time. In a more complex way, I am a highly detail oriented and technical photographer with a fanatical approach to composition, colour, execution and technique. Be it capturing the jumpers of Vanuatu Islands, a car shoot for Aston Martin Logonda or the latest Nike Kobe shoes, I am relying on over 20 years of photography experience to meticulously execute the vision of the client in the highest resolution possible, on time and on budget. As an ambassador to Phase One cameras, I am creating my work on the world’s most advanced camera system, with 151 mega pixels at my disposal to tell a story with each image produced.

When not on a client shoot, I can be found in my custom built studio working on multiple projects in different stages of production and experimentation. Creatively envisioning concepts for a shoot and problem solving real time issues to successfully achieve that shoot are one of my favorite and most rewarding things to do. Trying to create something different, repeatedly testing it and finding solutions to complicated technical challenges allows me to stay creatively sharp and continue to produce exclusively unique campaigns for my clients."

Mitchel has done over hundred covers, a thousand editorial pages, ads, and web pages, created two best-selling coffee table books, had several NYC (and elsewhere) art gallery shows, and a bunch of videos – all with spectacular athletes, actors, and models.

But for this edition he is doing something different. Throughout his career, whenever he has been on location he has enjoyed shooting images of the places he has been – landscapes- and now he has decided to share a few. All the Bodies - 'In Action', 'At Rest', and 'Intertwined' are still his main focus, as are the portraits of celebrities, athletes, models, performers, and real people. And they are always viewable at the links below.

The 'Bodies in Action' photos feature pro athletes, film and TV stunt people, and spectacular dancers from great companies. Note that in each photo that appears to have more than one person in it, it is actually the same person in tandem with themselves.

Follow Mitchel on Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook to see his latest work, and check his previous Production Paradise features to see a selection of images.

Mitchel’s video partner is Sam Schmitz.

Nic Daughtry is an automotive and lifestyle photographer that strives to create authentic and emotionally engaging images. He has a passion for showing how cars allow us to explore and enjoy the world around us.

In December of 2024, Nic photographed a personal project with the VW Atlas featuring a real couple traveling along the coast. He produced this project with his production company after being inspired by the locations and a romance found while passing through the area himself.

Also featured here is a Polestar commissioned editorial in which Nic took the Polestar 2 on a brief road trip around the Colorado mountains. The goal was to show the car in some of the scenic destinations you could go to on a one-charge trip leaving from and returning to Denver.

Lastly, a project for Ford at the press launch of the 2025 Ranger. Nic worked with the agency team and director of the production company to take images of the truck in the surrounding snow covered landscape. Nic’s images were featured on Ford’s IG feed to promote the new Ranger and acquired over 30k likes.
