A MOMENT WITH TODD
Who would play you in the movie version of your life?
Robert Downey Jr. or Tilda Swinton.
What’s underrated?
An in-camera solution. There are a lot of cooks in the kitchen these days. A lot of people have to leave behind a piece of their ego. When you have a really great concept that's pre-approved ahead of the photoshoot as well as a great art department, talent, creative direction and you let a brilliant photographer do their job...that's when the magic happens.
What’s the secret to getting the best out of your team?
Making them feel seen, important and empowered.
Where is the wildest place you’ve traveled to create a poster?
The Sahara Desert in-between Tunisia and Algeria. In that location you are surrounded by sand but the wind and light are constantly changing the way the scenery looks - it was beautiful and terrifying all at once.
Martini order?
A dirty gin martini. A vodka martini is nonsensical.
