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:

Adventure has always been Cade Martin’s compass. His latest journey took him and his family to Thailand, where they spent time with The Man That Rescues Dogs, a nonprofit caring for hundreds of stray and disabled dogs, including the now-famous “Wheelchair Mafia."

Cade photographed 44 dogs outfitted with custom wheelchairs racing with pure joy. A reminder that resilience isn’t theoretical, it’s visible. Learn more about this project:

By removing color, Doug focuses our attention on the raw emotion, the nuance of expression and subtle gestures that define the human experience.
