Marge Casey + associates. Darrin Haddad. Cosmetics. Still Life. Clinique.

Darrin Haddad had been interested in photography since his teens and continued as he completed his photography studies at the Portfolio Center in Atlanta, Georgia. He established his professional still-life and product photography business over 13 years ago, which has been in operation at his 2500 square foot studio in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood for the past 8 years.

Darrin's working style is a patient and thorough approach which is necessary to achieve very precise lighting. His work ranges from combination of styles, from crisp, clean and graphic; pure, unadulterated "object as hero" photography and lighting--to moody and dramatic, especially when photographing interesting forms and shapes.

His lighting is always based on the most naturally beautiful qualities of his subject combined with the most acute emphasis possible of the uniqueness of the product or subject. His compositional eye is uncluttered, elegant and bold.

His work, which would materially be considered "still-life", also has a dynamic quality that would suggest motion. He is well known for capturing make-up smears, liquid movement, and other "splash" based imagery.

Darrin loves to be challenged, and is widely respected as an incredible problem-solver. Some recent difficult and experimental works he has photographed include the explosion of an egg, the electrification of a fragrance bottle, breaking glass in motion, and balloons popping.

He has a very loyal client base, particularly in the cosmetics area. His collaborations with these international and domestic cosmetics clients are listed below, and separately, his general client list.

rsvp here
Care of Ward 81: Photographs and text by Bill Diodato. Foreword by Mary Ellen Mark.
Golden Section Publishing, 2010. 64 pp., 46 color and black & white illustrations., 106.
This is Bill's first monograph. Care of Ward 81 is the first of two books on the subject. Located at the Oregon State Mental Hospital (the hospital where One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was filmed in 1976), Ward 81 was set up as a psychiatric ward to help women in need by providing them with medical attention and isolation.
From the Introduction by Bill Diodato:
"Entering Ward 81, I found each room vibrated with pastel colors, some walls even adorned with curiously upbeat art from the patients. All this beauty was contrasted with a dense chalky air, earthy odor and constant crackling of debris beneath my feet...In the end, I can't say where exactly the many sleepless nights I spent pondering what happened to the women of Ward 81 have taken me. I simply do not know. If, by chance, it helps even just one woman and her family, I rest my head with a renewed sense of hope."- Bill Diodato
