John Hartigan shoots publicity photos that make a lasting impression

More about creating a mood than just being a good technical photograph, a publicity picture must tell a story without using words. Each person — within their profession — has something to say. John helps them say it.

He starts by getting to know the subjects themselves. What is their profession? How do they want to be remembered? Are they funny? Serious? Thoughtful? Intense?

Whatever the mood, John uses his skill at understanding both people and photography to capture and present each person’s unique qualities. Physical portfolio available by request.
