Lou & Andy,

I am a big fan of connecting smart, talented people where there could be mutual value. Unfortunately, I don’t know any of these so I am connecting you two LOL.

Andy: Lou is a big shot on-location commercial photographer & director based in St. Louis and New York City with midwestern roots and a resume every kid (and corp guy like me) in America would die for. He’s traveled the world shooting stills & motion for brand libraries, print campaigns, digital creation, celebrities etc. etc. for large agency’s & brands, boutique firms, corp. 100, magazines you name it. Even his crews are great, and diverse. If possible (or however it works)....wanted to put him in touch with your creative department. He's great to travel with and well, he just makes sh*t happen! Worth noting, in spite of such a stellar CV he’s actually not a total cocky prima donna lol....but genuinely a great dude, yes I know it’s hard to believe." -Bryan S. | FedEx

Emails:

* "Hi Lou, Are you beat? What a couple of days! Your images are gorgeous, and I’m so glad for that, but honestly it wasn’t just your technical skills that saved the day. You were grace under pressure and the vibe you managed to sustain infused the entire shoot with a sense of fun and relief that was more than we could have hoped for. I thank you so very much for bringing your artistry. You and I both know that had it been a photographer with a different attitude the whole thing could have gone south in a heartbeat, but you made it a success." -Robin D | Executive Producer
