“The backstage is more interesting to me.” Photographer Shaun Fenn is reflecting on his recent trip to Argentina where he shot a personal project a few hours outside of Buenos Aires in a rural community known best for its multigenerational involvement in polo. “There’s a whole human element behind the sport of polo.

Read MoreMCA warmly welcomes Dallas-based photographer Will Graham to our team! Will has been shooting for commercial clients and ad agencies for 14 years, with a strong focus in action and athletics.

Read MoreMCA is excited to announce that photographer Sara Forrest has joined our roster! It’s evident that Sara is no stranger to movement. Her photographs for major clients—like Apple, Disney, Coca-Cola—show her innate understanding of how light, color, and expression come together to animate an image.

She knows enough about movement not to stand in its way—instead, she just grabs her camera and steps into its flow.

Read MoreAs much as we love to tell ourselves that life is a series of controlled decisions (ones that always work in our favor), we know that it’s actually closer to a series of improvisations, that we hope will work in our favor. There is beauty in our unpredictable moments though-- they are what make life special, unique, real. Photographer Shaun Fenn’s latest work for Farmer’s Insurance achieves a kind of polished relatability that feels both sleek and spontaneous, crisp and unscripted.
