FRIENDS & FAMILY: A NEW CASE STUDY FOLIO

This terrific collaboration with Charles Schwab began with the decision to shoot in Chicago and to cast real-people talent—real families and friends—and then learning about them and their interests. Then we documented them doing the things they actually do. In the end, it’s about telling their stories. Check out the new portfolio for the Chicago shoot below.

My deepest thanks to Creative Director Nina Harris and Art Buyer Stephen Lazar for the opportunity and for their faith and trust in me. “Hyper-real” all the way.

Charles Schwab needed to refresh their brand library and decided that my style of what they called "hyper-real" documentary photography was the solution. Given that their audience has grown more visually sophisticated, my goal was to deliver truly authentic moments of everyday life. -DOUG MENUEZ
