DHL Delivered Magazine | Matt Schwartz

This past March I had the honor to collaborate with an ad agency in Hamburg, Germany for DHL Logistics. I was commissioned to photograph Matt Schwartz, Bristol-Myers Squibb's Head of Global Logistics, at their Princeton, NJ facility. With annual revenues of $22.6 Billion, Bristol-Myers Squibb occupies a unique niche in the world of Big Pharma. With the complexity of global markets, BMS products that require a highly controlled environment and smaller batch highly specialized drugs to blockbuster products, Matt and his team have developed a supply chain that is agile and reliable.

When my first assistant (Konnor) and I arrived we set to work on scouting the facility and determining a 2-3 setups to photograph Matt in. We quickly settled on two environmental portrait setups and one scenario on a gray canvas backdrop. My favorite from the shoot, which was not used for the story, is the top image. Four images were shot to create this composite to capture various positions of people in motion around Matt.
