Youth Concert for Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra

The Fox Valley Symphony Youth Orchestra Program provides young people with quality music education and performance opportunities with high standards that encourage personal discipline and dedication. The Youth Orchestra is a prime example of showing the critical links among music study, academic achievement, growth, and development.

The Fox Valley Symphony has been a long-time client of mine, photographing the Youth Orchestra this past Fall was such a fun gig for me. The goal of this project was to showcase the ensemble, while getting images that showcased each musician, and to get images of the concert environment. This set of images was one of my favorites of the year!

“When we work with Graham, we know we are going to get something special. With little or no direction from us, he just instinctively knows how to get the best shots of our musicians and brings the music to life in his photos. Instead of looking through the shots and deciding what we can use, we end up arguing over how we can use them all, because there are no bad options!”

-Jamie LaFreniere, Executive Director for the Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra

Project Spotlight:

Brand Story for Emplify Health

Emplify Health is what it looks like when neighbors come together. It’s a community of people working together to deliver world-class healthcare with a little more caring, a little more heart and a little empathy.

The goal of this project was to tell the story of their new rebranding of Bellin Health and Gundersen Health System merging to Emplify Health. The vision was to make a creative statement that cemented Emplify Health as a differentiator in the healthcare industry. Over the course of four days, two in Green Bay and two in La Crosse, we were able to create a catalog that showcased their dedication to amplifying empathy.

“Graham strives for authenticity. He understands “the moment.” He understood what we were after, was flexible, adaptable and understood the complexities of a healthcare setting and the different privacy factors involved.”

-Matthew Clark, Corporate Communications Consultant at Emplify Health
