Today, I wanted to showcase some very special images that my dad and two of his longtime creative partners formulated under their still life photography company, M/G+R.

M/G+R [ShopStudioNYC] is a collective of three very extraordinary talents who have the power and imagination to transform a simple shoe into an extraordinary piece of contemporary art. Photographer Mark Platt, Art Director Guillaume Bruneau and digital imaging and post-productionist Ray Martinez are the visual masterminds behind M/G+R.

Their work exemplifies their passion to redefine still life photography by creating images that offer viewers a compelling (and fun) visual experience. Their work also tells the brilliant story of texture and pigment magnified.

Working closely with these luxury materials, they are attuned and dedicated to expressing the visual story of each unique object. I am amazed each and every time by their artistry as well as their down-to-earth wisdom of their craft.

If I could sum up their work in a few words, I would say it is: Fresh, fun and far from conventional. It just POPS!

Check out a few examples of their work below:
