Gracing this week’s edition of A Face With A Name is my good friend (and friend of PUBLIC SCHOOL) Adam Voorhes. Seated in his lap is his trusty bulldog Catfish. Voorhes and I met while I was an intern at The Butler Bros. He had just moved to Austin and had come by to show his work to Adam and Marty Butler. In the years since then he has been a great mentor in my career as well as a great friend.
Adam is best known for his product and still life work, though he is a great photographer overall. His work has been featured in every place imaginable. His client list includes BMW, M&M’s, AT&T and a slew of other companies you know and love. He’s even managed to snag a few nice awards for himself as well. He also happens to be a mighty fine cook as has been proven in many a Iron Chef competition that we have had amongst our friends in the past. My personal favorite is the rosemary chicken he whipped together once.
All in all, Adam is a hard working and fun loving guy. I’d recommend working with him even if only to stop by his studio and challenge him at his Soul Calibur arcade machine. Soul Calibur challenges aside, over the years he has helped me immensely as well as continually impressed me with his work. You’ll be seeing much more of him (and his work) in the future.
Next week we’ve got Bryony Gomez-Palacio and Armin Vit of UnderConsideration. Stay tuned.
