New motion and stills work for now hitting. It’s been a lot of work this year now paying off of seeing our efforts finished up and in-use!

We set out to capture a variety of content for the brand they can use across all media. Shooting motion content along with extensive shotlists for still photography I was tasked with capturing it all for each scene. It would be impossible without the support of our A-list Boston team all working like a machine to get it all done.

I’m happy to finally share some new work for ! We’ve spent a busy year shooting from LA to Boston over 13 days creating a load of new content. Stills, motion, gifs (or jif as some of you oddballs say) - and a lot of it - as we continue to build out their image library.

This is just a small sample so can’t wait to post more.

Shout out to this talented team!

Took a few days off to spend some time fly fishing up in Montana. Incredible land up there. Landed a couple rainbow trout and a boat load of cool images and footage. Stay tuned for more!

New work for Ascension Healthcare! Last winter I had the pleasure of working with Ascension to photograph the still photography for their Dell Children’s Hospital campaign in Austin, TX. It was a rewarding opportunity to meet and photograph the brave kids, parents and doctors all working hard to keep our young ones healthy and happy. I wanted to capture each scene in real, true to life moments –those kids nailed it!

Shooting in conjunction with their motion team we leapfrogged around their new state of the art hospital for two days capturing a variety of specialties, staff and patients.

Shout out to .tv for tapping me for this one!

‘Tis the season to frantically order gifts online hoping that they’ll make it here by the 24th (if you’re like me). If you’re more like this responsible lady you ordered early and you’re now enjoying carefree time with family and friends.

New work for showing the ease of their online ordering and delivery. Any shooter knows the toughest subjects can be kids and pets but these rock stars nailed the natural moments in every scene. They made my job easy.

Pumped to have been selected again for the 200 Best Photographers Worldwide by ! It’s such an honor to be included amongst this group of amazingly talented photographers and I’m looking forward to producing even more good work in the future. Shout to the jury for selecting me and the clients, agencies and crews that make it all possible. Thank you all!

And a special shout to Janice Moses Represents for her support and guidance in helping me level up my work!

New still life work for featuring a variety of their break room products. It’s always a welcome challenge to shift gears throughout a shoot to focus on imagery featuring such a wide range of products. Certainly not possible without the tasteful and meticulous direction of and the talented prop stylists bringing the elements together!

New work hitting for ! I’m excited to finally share some of the results of the hard work our team put in over the winter and spring this year. 👇

Thus far we’re at 4 shoots, 20 days on set and countless hours of production building a huge content library of still photography and motion for their new campaign.

It’s been a complex series of shoots in Boston coordinating crew, locations, models, wardrobe and hundreds of various products but with the support of this stellar team the productions are on point.

Stay tuned for more!

New images for the launch of the RZ Zero-Turn mowers. Taking my inspiration from automotive photography the slow shutter speed really captured the movement and drama of the new products while keeping the mowers tack sharp. A little cleanup in to perfect the details and they’re ready to roll.

Winter is finally coming to an end so I’m looking forward to enjoying the outdoors with friends again. I’m loving these images from a recent campaign for taking me back to a great evening on set. We headed out to the Texas countryside to capture this superb location at the perfect time.

No fire, no problem. A few Quasar tubes set to fire mode nailed the gag nicely. And no brush fires!

“Spreading joy, hope and smiles” with the kids at Children’s Hospital. Love it!

2022 was a hell of a year so I want to post some highlights of my work over the past 365 days. Traveling coast to coast I was fortunate to work with so many cool and inspiring clients and I can’t wait to see what 2023 brings.

Shout out to all of my clients, cast, crew and the hundreds of people who made these images possible. Thank you!

I’m wrapping up 2022 on the right note with a few more holiday images for . Excellent cocktails always make New Year’s parties or quiet evenings by the fire much more enjoyable this time of year -or anytime for that matter.

Have a safe and wonderful wrap to 2022 and an even better 2023!

Shout out to for asking me to shoot this. Such a great time!

12/21/2022

Thee are plenty of reasons to celebrate the holidays this week. A Sugar Plum Fairy complete with a sugar swizzle stick or an On Dasher with a toasted marshmallow can certainly get you in the mood. Check out for these recipes plus many more.

It’s 10:37am and I’d consider drinking one of these right now. Too early? Nah.

12/20/2022

Tis the season for holiday gatherings with family, friends, coworkers and anyone else interested in sipping some tasty cocktails to get in the spirit.

I had the good fortune to get into the spirit shooting this social media campaign for featuring a series of cocktails made with their signature gins. This was my first time working with the brand and I must say that they’re making some damn fine spirits.

We photographed 8 separate drinks in as many scenarios throughout a single shoot day so it was hectic but we always get the job done. I don’t shoot a lot of tabletop products or liquids so it was a welcome change of pace to incorporate some fresh images into the portfolio.

I’ll be rolling out more this week so stay tuned for more cocktails to celebrate the season. Cheers!

I’m rolling out a load of new work in the coming weeks from the busy year I’ve had so far. Enjoyable projects and cool clients always make for some great images.

First on the list is a new campaign with Locks. Last spring I shot and directed a content library for them including still images and 10 preroll spots. It was a crazy amount of work for myself and the entire team but certainly worth it for the final product. Stay tuned for more!

New work dropping for STIHL. Shot last fall up in the Pacific Northwest, this was a project I had been looking forward to for quite some time. Traveling to the misty forests of Washington State to shoot this was quite the adventure as we photographed loggers on a logging farm just south of Seattle. Keep an eye out for these and many more out in the wild.

Those forests are all selectively cut as the trees age to about 40 years so as to preserve the farm and make it sustainable for the next generations.

The cabin in the last shot is somewhere I need to spend a weekend. Only about 10’x15’, wood burning stove makes it a great place to unplug and maybe catch a glimpse of a bear or sasquatch.

I’m very excited and honored to have been selected as one of the 200 Best Advertising Photographers Worldwide by ! It means a hell of a lot to be in the company of so many talented artists and certainly humbling seeing so much inspiring work each year in the magazine feature. Over the years I’d flip the pages of this hoping to be in it someday and now I can say I am. Pretty cool.

I certainly couldn’t do it without so many cool clients and tireless crew jumping from city to city… you all know who you are. 👊 Let’s keep it up! And a huge thanks to the international jury along with the team! 🙏

I’m excited to see the new :30 I directed for BJC Healthcare finally running running on TV. More details below👇 Thanks to our stellar team on this one we put our heads together way back in January and filmed over a few days around St. Louis. We had plenty of logistical hurdles to deal with including filming a baseball game at Busch Stadium... in January, dodging snowfall as we were trying to film for spring and, oh yeah, that whole Covid pandemic thing shutting down the globe. I’ll be posting about more of the technical details and some BTS later so stay tuned! Shout out to these folks who trusted me in the director’s chair 🙏 @90degreeswest_ @thebigtree.tv @cannonball_ad And Stephen Greathouse for his talent behind the camera bringing the vision to life 🎥 @greathousesc

The primary means of transport in the #BVI is the sailboat. Cruising island to island each day in search of adventure (and cocktails) was always interesting. Deserted islands, towns, marinas, reefs, shipwrecks, beaches and much more made each day unique and different. This shot was from our first night on the water at Norman’s Island where we watched the sunset and then the stars. So cool. #britishvirginislands #bvisailing #BVIs #caribbean #tropical #sunset #sailboating #sunrise #landscape #ocean #themoorings #dji #djimavicpro2 #dronevideo #dronephotography #drone #uav #adobe #adobepremiere

A week in the British Virgin Islands is just not enough time. Such a spectacular location with photo opportunities in every direction all day, every day. Add in an amazing crew @cptn.marcus and @lnwheeler showing us the ins and outs of this amazing place making us feel right at home. @themooringsvacations #themoorings #britishvirginislands #bvi #bvisailing #bvis #virgingorda #caribbean #tropical #sailing #landscape #sunrise #dronevideo #hyperlapse #hyperlapsedrone #dji #djimavic #uav #dronephotography #dronestagram

Woo Hoo! I'm officially an FAA certified drone pilot. It's been a long time coming as I've been flying for many years as a hobbyist so my Part 107 certification will now allow me to fly and film aerial shots for clients. It'll still be business as usual here but this now gives me another way to capture cool imagery for my projects. Drone technology has exploded in recent years and I'm excited to keep up on the developments and enhance my own skills. Here's a quick reel of my work... check it!

RIDGID Red

I'm happy to post some new motion work I directed for RIDGID Red Wet/Dry Vacs. This was part of a larger effort to capture 4 other online spots for each vac in addition to shooting a still photography library. Yeah, that was fun.

I'm happy I had my drone with me while driving home from Chicago yesterday. Those turbines were certainly working hard.

Floating above this landscape feels like something out of a dream. I’m loving the new drone. #bigskymontana #mountains #sunrise #sunset #djimavicpro2 #hasselblad #shotondji #dji #drone #uav #landscapephotography #aerialphotography #aerialvideography

New motion reel for 2019! It's been exciting to work with so many great clients and brands on such a huge variety of projects including TV commercials, online content and still photography ad campaigns. Got a project in mind? Give us a shout and let's shoot! www.johnfedele.com Big thanks to all of the talented teams I've partnered with who’ve helped bring these ideas to life. #director #cinematographer #photographer #videoproduction #advertising

JOHN DEERE - HABITAT FOR HUMANITY // “Grateful”

Here's a recent video I shot and edited with John Deere and Habitat for Humanity documenting the rebuild of a family's home destroyed by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. It's uplifting to see so many complete strangers come to the aid of a family in need to get them back on their feet. We spent 6 days down in Houston shooting the project while dodging debris, construction materials, heavy equipment, storms and fire ants but Tiesha's reaction is priceless and made it all worthwhile. Shifting from our initial scope we ended up delivering 6 different cuts because there were so many stories to tell – not only from the family but the workers, as well. Everyone in the region was affected to some extent so they understand how much it means to help out those less fortunate after a massive disaster like Hurricane Harvey.

Had to bust out the drone for some footage of our snowstorm yesterday. ***Warning: Gratuitous use of zoom transitions.***
