GEORGE KAMPER + MAVIS SPENCER

June 29, 2023

Photographer / Director George Kamper shared that working with Mavis Spencer for this Equestrian Living shoot, he was so impressed with her grace and poise, and her love for horses is evident in how she interacts with them. In a recent string of successes, Mavis has earned top placings at many of the major shows in the world. George was fortunate to have the opportunity to photograph her with the help of his favorite hair & makeup artist, Leslie Munsell. Leslie worked her magic to ensure that Mavis looked her best while keeping the atmosphere light and fun. 

Mavis came prepared with her own wardrobe for the shoot, and the EQ editors Sarah Lessler and Stephanie Peters helped to coordinate her look. During the shoot, Mavis's mom, the talented actress Alfre Woodard, was also present and added a touch of humor to the proceedings, providing fun input on Mavis's poses. It was a delight to work with such a lovely family. These types of shoots typically last about an hour or so on set; constantly moving to keep the shoot and looks fresh. George usually doesn't have a hard and fast layout or look; he aims to get the best out of everything available and relies on his experience and creativity to help guide the shots and find new ways to capture a beautiful portrait series. Kudos to a job well done GK!

✨ Why Custom Illustration Matter ✨ Why icons deserve a second look! Icons are often treated like a checkbox - something to grab from a stock library or pull from an existing UI kit. But when they’re built intentionally, they become one of the most quietly powerful tools in your creative arsenal. Custom icons do more than reinforce a brand. They clarify communication. They guide users. They bring visual consistency to even the most complex projects - across digital, print, packaging, environments, and campaigns. Illustrator James Nelson approaches icon work with that kind of purpose. His sets are clean, strategic, and built to flex—whether they’re solving for user experience, packaging hierarchies, internal comms, or large-scale marketing systems.
