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.

After living in New York for twenty years, Greg Miller returned to his hometown of Nashville to reexamine the city where he grew up. With the help of a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, in 2008 Miller began a series of photographs using familiar spaces from his childhood as starting points. Attempting to reconstruct memories by photographing in and around areas of Nashville where he grew up, he often photographs complete strangers cast in scenes drawn from the lasting emotional remnants of his past.

DAVID LEVINTHAL: Mentioned and quoted in The New York Times 2/11 "From That Instant Thrill, Enduring Art, Now for Sale"

02.11.2010
"The New York photographer David Levinthal said he found that using a Polaroid llent itself to experimentation in a way that other cameras didn't. Over the years he has used a Polaroid for some of his most popular images. The Sotheby's sale will include selections from his ?Wild West series, a 1987-89 project in which he created his own imaginary universe using toy cowboys and Indians. There will also be photographs from American Beauties (1989-90), in which he shot buxom, bathing-suit-clad dolls from the 1940s and 1950s. All are 20-by-24-inch prints and their estimates range from $500 to $7,000. (click here to read article).
The tactile and tangible quality of Polaroid is unique, Mr. Levinthal said. There's still something magical about seeing that instant image.?
