Phoenix: Adrian T. Baird

Adrian T. Baird is a commercial photographer based out of Phoenix, Arizona. He specialises in people, corporate and industrial photography with a focus on using real people in their day to day work environment. The current work being shown here is a variety of examples from a few local and national companies taken last year for ads, web, billboard, profiles and cover shoots.

Recently, Adrian has been working with healthcare companies to show the effects of working during the Covid crisis as well as document the testing procedure. His most recent project involved working with a nurse and pharmacist while administering drive-through touchless testing. It was an interesting shoot, as all social distancing and PPE guidelines had to be followed by all cast, crew and extras and the photography took place in an active testing site. There was difficulty working in PPE and conveying a range of emotions while photographing a subject in a mask but it was ultimately very successful!

Client list includes: SimpliSafe, Financial Times, Independent Agent, Uber, Zenefits, Genie, Draft Kings, Messer, Georgia-Pacific, CRST, and Vermeer just to name a few.
