Title: The Tooth Fairy

Location: OMS Photo Cincinnati, Ohio  

"This photograph depicts a close-up of the subject, Joey, holding a black Marvis toothbrush between her teeth. Both her upper teeth and the toothbrush are decorated with colorful rhinestones and star-shaped gems for a playful effect. Shot in studio with a beauty dish, the lighting is glowy and even, highlighting the sparkle of the gems as well as the metallic Marvis logo across the toothbrush handle.

The final image is colorful, fun, and a little surreal - taking something as ordinary as a toothbrush and transforming it into something whimsical.

Joey brought the tooth gems with her to the shoot, and I was instantly inspired by the idea that her teeth were so clean they sparkled like gems. We took turns applying them to her teeth and the toothbrush, which made the process highly collaborative. Much of the shoot was filled with laughter - especially since Joey had to keep her mouth open for long stretches or the gems would slip off. What I love about this image is how it mirrors what I admire in Marvis as a brand: taking something standard and elevating it into something unexpected and joyful."

Title: Suspended In Youth

Location : Tulbagh, Western Cape, South Africa

''As most caught moments in life, that are generally unplanned, this was one of those. My partner and I took a trip to South Africa. My Motherland. This was New Year’s Day. We woke up early and went for a hike into the Mountains. We were alone for a good few hours swimming in these rock pools before about 10 local kids made their way there. 

I had my camera, they had their joy for life. We all swam and hung out together, talking about the new year ahead. We froze their joyful moments forever. Fearless and content.

Always grateful for these moments in life. To connect with people and nature in ways you least expect.

This was a beautiful reminder to never forget to connect with the inner child. They're always ready to play.''

Title: Geothermal Engineer

''It was a freezing cold morning which amplified the steam at the geothermal vents we were shooting. I grabbed hundred images of our engineer as she worked in the swirling mist, backlit by the winter sun.

Sometimes you have to go to the ends of the earth to capture the best imagery; intrepid journeys to remote work sites in harsh conditions. Sometimes you do. Sometimes you don't... It was 7:30 am on a cold, clear morning in sunny Lake Taupo, New Zealand. I had just been handed a flat white and a delicious looking almond croissant by our shoot producer, when Gabby, our geo-engineer appeared heroically through the swirling mist. She was beautifully backlit by the low sun, with clouds of steam aglow against the darkened backdrop. A perfect image revealed before me. This was to be one of life’s hard choices: grab the photo... or grab the croissant? As any true professional would, I grabbed both.''

Title: Buzkashi Battle

Location: Tajikistan

''Buzkashi, meaning “goat pulling” in Persian, is the wild, brutal sport of Tajikistan and its neighboring countries. Think polo - but with a headless, eviscerated goat instead of a ball, hundreds of riders, and no formal teams. Rooted in the nomadic cultures of Central Asia and played for hundreds of years, riders, or chapandaz, battle for control of the goat while dodging rivals (and the occasional whip or elbow) in scenes reminiscent of a Napoleonic battle painting. The rule book is less of a book and closer to a couple of sentences, with the match often overflowing into the fleeing crowd (something I can testify to first hand) games can last for hours until one rider hauls the goat across a hay-marked goal line in the dirt. Once a pastime of the steppes, Buzkashi is now a beloved spectacle at festivals and major gatherings such as weddings.''

"We’ve been busy working on projects that highlight the beauty of detail and movement across different industries.
