A couple of weeks ago I headed down to Benton Harbor, Michigan to Whirlpool World Headquarters to take a portrait for The Wall Street Journal’s Weekend Edition that reaches 2 million or so print subscribers. The WSJ is a publication I’ve always wanted to shoot for, but to get to take portraits for such a high profile section of the paper is a dream come true.
The subject was Patrick Schiavone; Whirlpool’s new-ish chief of design who is really “thinking outside the ice box” (as they titled the story). He’s a guy who had designed cars in Detroit for many years and is now charged with leading the global appliance powerhouse to rethink everything.
Patrick turned out to be a fantastic subject willing to try almost anything. I love shooting designers because they understand the process of composition and generally are happy to participate. I had a blast. Above are some of my favorite outtakes as well as the story as it ran this weekend in the WSJ…nearly a full-page!
