Doug Truppe Creates Industry Event - Show & Tell with TBWA/Chiat/DAY NY

Doug Truppe created a lively face-to-face event to present his award-winning group of photographers to TBWA/Chiat/Day in New York City recently.

Our group’s greatest strength lies in their personalities.  Everyone is unique, but they all have several things in common: they know how to work cohesively, complement any project they work on with kindness, respect and thoughtfulness. Today more than ever we need to be thinking all the time, be flexible and go with the flow.  Our photographers do their homework, study their clients, listen to feedback so they can bring their ideas and options. A great story is about transformation, what we become and how we got there.  Our photographers take you somewhere.

 It was so much fun to meet in person, to chat and pitch ideas that we plan to take our show on the road. We thank the creatives at TBWA/Chiat/Day for this terrific opportunity and for taking time out from their busy schedules to meet for some fun and a relaxing “Show and Tell.”

Next stop?  Let us know when and where and we’ll be there!

Doug Truppe’s Platform of Values: Curiosity - The Human Elements for Life and Work

Doug Truppe is on the road again and presents a unique approach to his work and life with a platform of values to live by.  “I live, work and make choices by these values with photographers, creatives, clients and everyone I meet.”  The Human Elements—Curiosity, Passion, Kindness, Truth and Integrity— is an ongoing series of presentations of our photographers and directors to the creative community.  First up is Curiosity. We all know the old adage, “Curiosity killed the cat,” but curiosity breathes life into everything we do and create. Curiosity is the fuel for discovery, learning and intelligence, and it just might be the most useful gift we are endowed with. It’s the love of knowledge and learning and a kind of madness that cannot be stopped. It is the essence of human existence and happiness, and we are proud to present our view of Curiosity with @jimhughesphoto, @waltersmithphoto,  @tomhusseyphotography, @peterrodger and @agoodwinphoto. See the value of Curiosity here.  

If you are Curious to know, see more and set up a presentation on this series, contact hello@dougtruppe.com.

Director/Photographer Peter Rodger Steps Up to the Challenge with HCA Healthcare Campaign

Peter Rodger thrives at being able to tell a compelling story. In a pandemic world, it has never been more important to show reality with authenticity and emotion‑‑especially for healthcare‑‑at the forefront of this global battle.

Recently, Peter was asked to collaborate on a multi-platform campaign by BPD Advertising for client HCA Healthcare. BPD wanted imagery that not only dealt with the deadly virus on the clinical side but also showed the human aspect.  Peter’s award-winning cinematic style, sensitivity to his subjects and emotional impact on audiences have made him a director of choice for many BPD projects. He wanted to present the humanity and dedication of caregivers behind the HCA Healthcare mission during these challenging times—their promise of inclusion, fairness, compassion, respect for individuals and communities.

Exploring all walks of life in a thorough casting process, Peter found talent who could tell a story with their eyes and body language.  Shooting in Miami, he dressed a studio in four different hospital environments as well as used several domestic locations for families and volunteer workers. Working in black and white‑‑all elements in place and scenes lit for powerful drama‑‑Peter started shooting as a photojournalist.  Real moments, a glimpse of the soul behind each person’s eyes, even while wearing masks, bring the HCA Healthcare values to life:  teams stepping up, the impulse always to help and never giving up.
