As an Atlanta and Orlando-based professional photographer, Brian Carlson’s recent venture into creating a vibrant lifestyle image library at Holiday Inns Orange Lake Resort was a whirlwind of fun and success. The fast-paced shoot encapsulated the essence of this family-centric haven, where every frame became a testament to the brand’s commitment to joyous getaways.
Navigating the lively resort with a great crew, Carlson captured moments of laughter, sun-soaked play, and the vibrant pulse that defines a Holiday Inn experience. From playful pool antics to lazy river meanders, with each click Carlson tried to echo the brand’s dedication to providing families with an environment for creating cherished memories. This was more than a shoot; it was a visual story, a burst of energy, and a splash of success that encapsulates the pure joy of a holiday escape.
“I like to think this project adds a burst of energy to the brand, offering a snapshot of the incredible experiences that await families at Holiday Inns Orange Lake Resort. It’s a delight to contribute to a narrative that celebrates the vibrant spirit of family vacations. Here’s to the memories captured, the moments frozen in time, and the undeniable fun that we had”, Carlson commented.

Tasked with creating a library of images for the new Viccí Eyewear Amóre Campaign debuting the Sofia and Roma collections, Kamper’s lens brings to life eyewear that is not just fashionable, but in high demand. With a keen eye for detail, Kamper ensures that every shot speaks volumes about the professional, forward-thinking women who wear the Viccí brand.
Guided by Viccí principals David Abramovici & Steven Geduld, fashion coordinator Elie Rossetti concepted and transformed mood boards into vibrant, textured realities. Despite the challenge of tight crops, each image radiates the confidence and style synonymous with Viccí. Complimenting the visual narrative is flawless makeup by Leslie Munsell of Beauty for Real. Photographed in the studio on vibrant colors within the urban backdrop of Miami’s Wynwood district, Kamper expertly wields his custom-made Profoto / Ellenhrom beauty lighting and the Canon R5 series cameras and lenses, delivering a campaign that epitomizes sophistication and allure.
“Working with Viccí Eyewear reaffirmed our resourcefulness and creative problem-solving, despite the constraints of the tight budget and the substantial number of photo assets we captured”, comments Kamper.
Elie, Kamper’s wardrobe stylist, was a pivotal part of the process. Elie didn’t just pick out clothes; she meticulously planned mood boards and organized many details of the shoot. Her attention to detail helped ensure that everything aligned perfectly with Viccí’s vibe while being extremely time-efficient at the shoot. Kamper enlisted Elie’s expertise to help find the right talent. She recommended Priscilla, who brought elegance and versatility to the table. Plus, Priscilla’s modeling school provided a great space for our shoot. They also enlisted Heidi, sourced through modeling agencies we worked with frequently, to bring a dynamic energy to the mix. Elie’s careful curation ensured that both models embodied Viccí’s vision while adding their own flair.
On shoot day, their planning came to fruition. Despite the time crunch, the many wardrobe and background changes came off seamlessly. The team stuck to one overall set design, making quick changes to the wardrobe, and makeup, and updates to the lighting and composition. In the end, everyone’s contributions were invaluable. Meticulous planning and attention to detail ensured that every shot captured the timeless elegance of Viccí Eyewear. Working together, the team brought Viccí’s vision to life in a way that exceeded expectations.
Is Altpick member, Simon Puschmann, the man to go to for making a successful shoot of Toyota’s electric cars? If you don’t know the answer (and we already do), maybe ChatGPT does. Here is what it answered when Simon himself posed the question:
“As of my knowledge, Simon Puschmann is a highly regarded photographer and director known for his innovative and artistic approach to commercial and advertising projects. However, the suitability of any photographer, including Simon Puschmann, for Toyota car photography would depend on various factors, including the specific style and requirements of the advertising campaign, the vision of the client or agency, and the intended message or aesthetic.
To determine if Simon Puschmann is a good match for Toyota car photography, it would be advisable to review his portfolio and past work. Look for examples of his automotive photography, paying attention to his ability to capture the essence of the brand, showcase the features of the cars effectively, and align with the overall marketing objectives.
Additionally, it’s common for clients to consider factors such as the photographer’s understanding of the brand, experience with similar projects, and creative vision. Collaborative communication between the client and the photographer is also crucial to ensure that the final output aligns with the brand’s image and goals.”
As we can all assume, the London-based agency, Prodigious, already knew the answer to the question, hence their decision to turn to Simon. However, it’s nice that a Large Language Model (LLM) could provide a second opinion!
