1,758 miles, 15 crew and talent, 10 days, 4 states, and 3 RVs equals 1 amazing production for JanSport by Andrew Reilly.

With some of the “talent” none other than The Stone Foxes, Andrew, the agency, client and crew hit the road in San Francisco and made their way down the Pacific Coast Highway for an epic road trip – stopping for shows, impromptu antiquing, exploring the White Sands of New Mexico and general tomfoolery.  They wrapped things up at SXSW after stops in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Phoenix and Marfa.

With a group that’s known for rocking out, it’s no wonder that these images and ads capture the fun of the brand AND the band so effortlessly.

The project began when he and another photographer, Daniel Wakefield Pasley, began documenting the lives of Team Exergy, formed in 2011 and sponsored by Castelli, an Italian maker of cycling clothing and accessories. Granado & Pasley accompanied the team on the road, capturing moments of training, racing and recovery.

Congrats Emiliano!

Recent work from Tim Tadder for Coors Light, working with Schupp & Co in St. Louis. Check out the rest of Tim’s crisp imagery, including Motion in Air 2, on our site right here.

Andrew shot the images below as a gift to the Foundation for promotional use and they also plan to frame and hang several of the images in their learning center. As Andrew told us, he’s hoping this becomes an ongoing collaboration where he might be able to offer his expertise to teach a basic course on photography to a few of the kids. We’re incredibly proud that our Emissary Artists are working on such rewarding personal projects – beautiful images for a worthy cause. Great work, Andrew!

If only we could all be captured so gracefully. See all of Tim & Mike’s beautiful images right here.

Walter shot David for the cover and opening story in New York – both David & Walter’s homebase – and we think he beautifully captured Karp’s minimal aesthetic. Simple, personal shots within the backdrop of what Karp calls “the most creative city in the world.” Stunning photos to accompany a thoroughly interesting profile on one of the “30 under 30.” You can check out the full profile of David Karp on Forbes.com right here. Great job, Walter!

EA: how did this project come about?
AR: While flying back east for a job I read a brief review of their album in SPIN magazine. When I landed I checked out some of their music via youtube and instantly liked their sound and knew I wanted to see them live. After checking their Facebook page I noticed they were playing quite a few shows in the Baltimore area, a place where I had lived for a few years…so while back east I had some downtime between jobs and was looking for something personal to shoot so I emailed a friend in Baltimore who is in the art community to see if she knew anyone that knew the band…she did and quickly got back to me with a number…next thing I knew I was on the phone with Rod setting up a time to meet and shoot…I think the entire process of landing, listening to their music, to getting a number and talking with them took no more than 45 min…

It was really never intended to be a personal project…I was just going to shoot them once and then move on…however Rod and I kept in touch and a few months after the first shoot he asked if I would be interested in meeting them in Austin for SXSW…from there it just sort of turned into a thing I would do when there was free time…since then I have met them for a short tour through NYC, Baltimore, DC. Then I met up again in Vegas for their West Coast tour and finally for the Canada/New England tour.

EA: Where did you travel and for how long? What are the accommodations likes?
AR: Most of the images in this set are from the most recent tour through Canada and into New England. I met them in Toronto traveled to Montréal, Burlington, Montpelier, Northampton, then Boston.

EA: Any plans to continue the project?
AR: Yes, absolutely. The band has just finished writing all the material for the new album and if schedules permit I’m hoping to stop by the studio during the recording.

EA: Any favorite moment from the tour you have to share?
AR: There are so many…but some of the things I’ve walked away from this project with are first and foremost the people you meet and the places you go along the way…they are truly amazing and I still keep in touch
with quite a few…

Another good moment which is from this last tour was getting to listen to the demos for the new album…I’m looking forward to all that will come for them in the new year and hope to be able to document some of it.

EA: Least favorite moment?
AR: On my flight into Toronto, United Airlines lost my luggage and didn’t recover it until I was back home…so for the ten day tour I was in the same clothes with the exception of one concert t-shirt.
