For the last two years Kris Krug has had the opportunity to be the official photographer of Pop!Tech , a 4 day fall conference that happens in Camden, ME. Over the past two years he has shot dozens of speakers while they were presenting on a wide range of topics, including inner-city violence , the fate of the oceans , musical possibility , linguistic theory and emotional robot technology . From musicians to leaders to the change makers of the present world, Pop!Tech has hosted them and Kris has photographed them.

So Static Photography has been very busy since we got back from Shanghai, China. We were in Shanghai for two weeks with a schedule booked very full! Kris was shooting photos for his book Chinameme Vol. 1 Shanghai which he is co-authoring with Christine Lu. While in China Kris also spoke at TEDxShanghai and attended BarcampShanghai , which he helped start back in 2006. We also attended Shanghai's and China's first ever Gay Pride Celebration , a Ghostface Killah concert that was promoted by Splitworks Production as well as a few other events. We met new friends, shots hundreds of photos and explored many parts of the 25 million person city, under the burgeoning heat of Shanghai's summer.

Wanted: 4 Week Summer Intern for Static Photography
Starting: Second week in July

Static Photography is heading to Shanghai , China next week to make photographs for a book we're working on with Christine Lu . The book will be a collage of the vibrant and alternative side of Shanghai's emerging new culture and will feature photography by Kris Krüg alongside the words of Christine and others. Published under Creative Commons license, the book titled ChinaMeme Vol. 1: Shanghai will be available online later year and the large hardcover print edition will be on hand in time for the World Expo Fair in Shanghai next year.

Judy Inc. is a national Canadian talent rep agency specializing in the representation of all the amazing creative people who contribute to the behind the scenes of any creative project.

From fashion wardrobe stylists to hair and makeup artists , product styling and room setting , food styling and location scouting , Judy Inc.'s impressive 120 person talent roster speaks for itself.

Judy Inc.'s flagship Toronto office opened its doors on June 1st, 1999 with the hopes and goals of standing out from other talent rep agencies. They groomed their talent roster to promote professional services from an international selection of creative individuals.

They officially expanded their presence to the West Coast by opening up their Vancouver office on August 1, 2008. With offices in both Toronto and Vancouver, a roster that represents talent in Montreal and an international presence, Judy Inc. is building momentum.

They are able to fulfill specialty talent niches in major markets such as Toronto, Vancouver, New York, LA, Paris and Asia.

It was very exciting for Static Photography to announce last year around this time of Judy Inc. planned expansion over to the West Coast. The most exciting part of this announcement was the Vancouver representation of Kris as one of two location scouts for the talent agency. Kris is able to resource his extensive network of relationships and knowledge of awesome photography locations which makes him an very valuable and insightful location scout.
