Blaise and the Hartford

Blaise H ayward & The H artford

TH E H A RT FO RD L I B R A RY

This past June, I was hired by Rodgers Townsend to shoot my second library for the Hartford. Our shoot took place in Austin, Texas. We worked long, hard days, laughed a lot, and had some delicious meals. Most importantly, we got everything the client wanted and more. We were all smiles as the last captures came in, knowing we had worked together as a team to do the best job possible—the ultimate payoff. Lots of hugs and cold beers followed as we all got ready to go our separate ways. The images on the following pages are just a few from the great library we shot together.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Blaise Hayward on two very large library projects for one of our major clients. Blaise is extremely talented and passionate about his craft, he is also a great team member, colleague and collaborator. As an art buyer for a large advertising agency, I can honestly say that Blaise and his team make it easy for me and our agency to get a product that made us and our clients extremely happy. In addition to being incredibly talented, Blaise is a super nice guy and lots of fun to shoot with—we had many, many, laughs during our very long shoot days.

I would highly recommend Blaise and welcome any questions that anyone might have.

Working with Blaise means working with a conceptual partner. It’s one thing to capture an image, it’s another to capture an authentic moment that tells a bigger story. Blaise instinctively gets what you’re trying to achieve, captures it and then always strives for more.

Jamie Klim Creative Director The Hartford

Blaise is as collaborative as they come. He’s able to work through multiple setups with direction coming from every angle, while still maintaining the energy needed to bring his unique perspective to every shot. His mix of professionalism and sense of humor play well with any client, and keep the long shoot days moving and light-hearted.
