Huge company portrait shoot for Chalice AI at Hutton Brickyards in Kingston NY

I was commissioned by New York City AI advertising technology company CHALICE AI to photograph their employees at their Upstate corporate Retreat, at the fabulous Hutton Brickyards in Kingston, NY.

The mission was to photograph over 45 members of the company, showing both a color portrait of each member and then create a more artistic black & white image,  with the look of a retro film/polaroid transfer to showcase their personalities.

The shoot was a challenge, as time was tight and we were fitting everything in between their days of workshops and meetings ( which I also photographed), all at Hutton's waterfront industrial chic location on the Hudson River. 

Chalice AI is an interesting, young, innovative company —equal parts visionaries, problem-solvers, and tech wizards - who have reimagined advertising AI to make it smarter, faster, and a whole lot fairer. They wanted to capture the fact they don’t take themselves too seriously,  but are also deeply passionate about building a better future in advertising - with a mission of transforming the industry to work for people, not platforms.

I really love how everything came out with the  2 different 'looks' to showcase their team... and the client was delighted !

Here's a quick sampling ( there was a lot !) :\-
