GEORGE KAMPER + HYDRANT
October 28, 2021
A fan of pro tennis player Sloane Stephens, George was excited that wellness drink, Hydrant, selected him to produce stills, video interviews, and BTS content for their product.
George shot at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando, FL, in one of the ballrooms and in one of the suites. He was tasked with producing footage that had an authentic, spontaneous feel while maintaining a cinematic quality to the video. The crew was hoping to get outside for a few shots of Sloane on the court, but in typical Florida fashion, it ended up pouring rain.
Our first thoughts are always about the talent and how to accommodate them, so they are at ease on set and comfortable in front of the camera. Sloane made the shoot fun and easy. After the first five minutes of meeting her, George was in the groove and on the same page. He really couldn’t ask for a better subject!
Photographer George Kamper ran a two-crew stills and motion production for Starmark's Amelia Island tourism campaign, delivering one cohesive visual language across video, print, social and digital.
Every summer campaign has that one shot everyone reaches for, someone floating peacefully in a pool with a drink in hand, soaking up the sun. Photographer Amy Mikler wanted to know what happens five seconds later, when a kid jumps in, water flies everywhere, and the float is over before anyone can call it a wrap.
Two years ago Denise said yes to the biggest project of her career. A London publisher wanted her to research and retell folktales from around the world, one for every turn of the season, write the retellings herself, and illustrate all of it.
