Photographer and Director Diana Zalucky's lifestyle work is grounded in presence, intuition, and connection.

Her approach is guided by principles that shape every image and every moment on set:
• Presence over perfection
• Intuition as a creative compass
• Collaboration at the center
• Energy that keeps life in motion

With a background in spiritual advising, Diana brings a uniquely intuitive perspective that creates ease, trust, and space for honest stories to emerge.

We’re excited to share more of her world and the thoughtful, vibrant work she creates.

Sure Shot is redefining what wellness branding can look like. As the world’s first clinically proven rapid alcohol reducer, it needed an equally breakthrough visual identity. Stout partnered with Zachary Scott to craft bold branding, energetic packaging, and photography art direction inspired by pop art and comic book concepts. The result is a brand built to stand out in a saturated category. Digital Retouching done by POP Creative Studio.

In between commercial projects, Photographer and Director Dan Saelinger always makes time to explore personal ideas. A table of mushrooms in every shape and color at his local farmer's market sparked a series of macro images that feel both natural and otherworldly.

Dan used a fully in-camera approach: sculpted light, color gels, and hours spent dialing in every detail.
And, we’re excited to share that this passion project has now been recognized by Graphis, Communication Arts, and Lürzer’s Archive. 🍄✨

As the year winds down, we’re leaning into moments of joy: big, small, and everything in between.
Photographer and Director Doug Menuez has spent his career documenting humanity with empathy and honesty, and this collection is a reminder of how much beauty exists in simple, unscripted connection.
Here’s to looking around, slowing down, and noticing the joy already in front of us.

For his latest project with Deloitte, Photographer and Director David W. Johnson focused on the warmth, connection, and real interactions that make teams work. From casting to concepting, every detail was designed to show that behind the structure and precision of a brand like Deloitte, people and their shared stories are what truly drive innovation.

Technology can transform, but the person in the photo is what makes you feel.

Cade Martin worked with Jeff Satterthwaite and used AI to fracture portraits like kintsugi, where broken pieces become art. These portraits explore the truth through the lens of both ancient philosophy and cutting-edge technology

Kremer/Johnson recently stepped into a scenario that is becoming increasingly common. AI-comps presented in the ideation phase.

Their role became to translate the idea into a real, production-ready image while bringing their own character, humor, and visual style to it. This project uses CGI, blending:

• Real-world performance and personality
• Practical propping and on-set builds
• Fully constructed CGI environments and elements

What mattered most was keeping the personality of the characters. Learn more:
