Anti Stock

2007-07-17T15:24:00.000-07:00

Catapult Stock’s business model isn’t groundbreaking. It’s not going to take the world by storm, but hopefully it will turn some heads and make our clients really happy. Our goal is to brand a unique image archive that breaks the mold of typical stock photography. We are an agency for photographers by photographers who are passionate about image making and are driven by an overwhelming need to do just that. We represent a growing number of talented artists who are hungry to take on the next big (or small) assignment and share the same drive that we do. We’re not concerned with signing a hundred “stock” shooters to fill our archive with generic nonsense. Our goal isn’t to build the biggest, hugest, monstrous image archive in the world- we’re on a mission to build an archive that is creative, special, and above all, different from the rest.

One of my favorite books (and movie) growing up was Lord of the Flies. After their plane crashes, a group of youngsters find themselves alone on an island to fend for themselves. After a while of being alone on the island with civilization and civilized life far away, the boys quickly develop their own savage hierarchy. This theme has always fascinated me and I wanted to produce a visual essay that portrays this “wildness” that is hidden somewhere in all of us.

It is a lot of pressure to write something that people will find interesting. As I sit here in my backyard, laptop in hand, I ponder whether or not this entry should be filled with intellectual lingo, facts, or my perceptions of industry trends. Then it hit me---There are already numerous blogs out there that do this. Who am I to think that I can one up John Harrington, Black Star, or the Strobist.

Maybe what is needed is a place that will act like a “Google News” of blogs--A hub of links providing you direction to interesting articles, tutorials, and inspiration. In my mind this blog will be a success if it can educate and invoke innovation amongst photographers.

So to start this out I am going to have to lead you to some work by George Lange. His flipbooks are incredibly inspirational for me and always provoke a flood of ideas to fill my mind. I really enjoy his work and I hope you will to.
