For decades photographs have told stories – whether it is about an event, culture or a representation of the times. But as digital cameras are becoming increasingly widespread, being able to tell a story that is unique and compelling takes more than the standard point and click.

Data from Kodak indicates that digital photography printing alone increased by more than 25 percent from 2004 to 2007 to 10.8 billion prints, and with the increasing use of cameras on phones as well as the pace at which new cameras are becoming affordable, it’s little wonder that digital photography has begun to saturate both online and traditional media.

Media Genesis realizes this and has researched and tested different methods for creating innovative and engaging photography. For our training endeavors, we used a stylized form of photographic composition, which was loosely inspired by the work of photographer Dave Hill.

The photos ride the line between illustration, composite and portrait, accentuating hyper-real aspects of ordinary life.   In our case these photos speak directly to our employee culture at Media Genesis, which is artistic, edgy and just a little crazy.
