| Our Philadelphia photographer, Shea Roggio, has an unusual shot of Danny Bonaduce hanging by one arm from a rooftop while smoking a cigarette. Feel free to see how it happened on the YouTube behind the scenes video. As always, you can see plenty more commercial and editorial photography on our tearsheets page, normally updated each Monday. Next week we’ll post new tearsheets on Tuesday, because of the holiday. |
| |
| We post new tearsheets from our photographers each Monday, which should ease you into the week a little more comfortably. Jason Wallis, our Birmingham photographer, shot an interesting campaign (below, at left) for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service to raise awareness of email scams involving fake checks. You can see more on his website. Check out our latest on Wonderful Machine’s photography tearsheets page. |
| |
| Another sampling from our tearsheets page, updated weekly. We enjoy tearsheets because they show how well photography and design can play together. Roger Hagadone’s moody Eclipse book cover below is from the popular Twilight book series. |

Did you know that we post new tearsheets from our photographers each week? And did you know that Wonderful Machine’s photographers shoot both commercial and editorial work? Visit our TEARS page to
