Congrats to Percival Everett - Winner of the National Book Award last night for his book "James". This is a cover I couldn't share UNTIL NOW! Shot last month in Pasadena, CA.

I also shot a quick 'One Man Band" interview with PE - link in the comments.

Cover dropped today. This was Berkeley 10 days ago. The LA shoot comes out in two weeks…

For a cover, everything has to be perfect… It looks like we're in a studio… We are so *not* in a studio. 🤣. Little tiny things like the placement of the bangs and all of the skin tones and every inch of the clothing… Perfect.

It didn't hurt that Taylor Norman is both adorable and wonderful…

I haven't posted anything here for the longest time. I'm really proud of this one. I directed the video as well as the stills. We flew out to San Francisco and Los Angeles for a week-there's another article coming next week with a big surprise guest.

The executive editor at Holiday House/Neal Porter Books was honored for what she describes as a life-long ambition: working as a children’s book editor.

Headed to Atlanta for a week of advertising photography. People would be surprised how much of the glamorous world photography is actually about charging lots and lots of small batteries.

Knocked out this cover a couple of weeks ago. NEW YORK studio…. Hayes Salaverry did her usual bang up job on hair and make up. Madison was fun and easy to work with… Had great personal style....

It's so rare that I can talk about the things I photograph when I'm doing them! This was such a fun project and such a great client to work with.

When J&L Communications needed a campaign photographer for a major accounting firm in short order to create the largest billboard in Times Square history… They turned to Peyton & Associates to handle details, big and small.
