GLOBAL ADVERTISING PHOTOGRAPHY Feb 2014

Hugh Kretschmer is a Los Angeles native who grew up in a family of artists, discovering photography at age 13 under the guidance of his father, who was a photo-instrumentation engineer for McDonnell Douglas during the Mercury through Apollo missions. Recognised repeatedly throughout his 24-year career for his work's enduring (and endearing) use of metaphor and hand crafted, trick-the-eye elements, Hugh has achieved singular success as an editorial and advertising photographer who creates imagery that applies to both art and commerce.
