With his trip to the U.S. now over, JMI photographer David Sykes will be saying his goodbyes to the Big Apple today as he boards his plane for London.

In light of his departure, we'd like to share this stunning photo of David's: a retro period piece featuring the American airline that became one of the most prominent cultural icons of the 20th century - Pan Am.

Click on the image below to view more of David's work, and a special thank-you to all those who met with David in New York and Chicago during his visit!

Back in February, David Sykes was commissioned by Irving & co to shoot Carluccio's 2013 Easter ad campaign!

Appearing on the Italian restaurant's Easter ads, David's beautiful photographs of Carluccio chocolate candy eggs are the perfect treat to round out the Easter holiday. Check out the images below - and to read more about David's experience shooting this ad, or to view the video he filmed while on set, click here!!!!

It's that time of year again!

With the holiday season upon us, there are new festivities and big family meals to be had! To prepare yourself for your holiday fun, check out photographer David Sykes' playful take on "Christmas Pudding". David's "faux food" photograph takes a seasonal staple and turns it into a fun and spirited creation - just in time for the most spirited season of all!

But don't take our word for it - the proof is in the pudding.

Happy Holidays!!!

There are only 19 days until Christmas...and we're not the only ones counting!

Photographer David Sykes has relaunched his holiday ADVENTGRAM project, a recreation of the twenty-five day Advent Calendar - with a twist! Begun in 2011, the project combines David's playful and innovative artistic style with the ultimate social media platform for picture-sharing: Instagram. Each day in December, the photographer finds and shoots the date, and then uploads his pictures using Instagram. From now until Christmas Day, David will be sharing his photographs, and is inviting Instagram users to join along!

Click on the image below from last year's Adventgram calendar to learn more about David's project, and how you can join in on the holiday fun.

Happy Counting!

Check out David Sykes' newest ad for Milka! Shot in London with ad agency Crispin Poter + Bogusky, the ad campaign has been spotted on Billboards all over Europe.

We wonder where they'll pop up next!

Here in New York we are recovering from Sandy but still wanted to wish you all a very Spooky Halloween. See the below image from David Sykes, and click on the teeth below to see all new images on David's site.

The PDN "Objects of Desire" photo contest winners have been announced and featured in the November issue of PDN magazine.  We are thrilled to announce that David Sykes' "Light Breakfast" was selected out of thousands of submissions as one of 6 in the Food and Still Life category!  Huge congratulations to him.  All the winners images will be reproduced in a print gallery at the 2012 PDN PhotoPlus Conference + Expo, which takes place Oct. 24-27th, at the Javits Center here in NYC. 

Today is the day! Set your DVR's or, even better...cancel your Friday night plans, grab some tissues and get ready for the Opening Ceremony of the Summer 2012 Olympics! It will be difficult to top the Bejing 2008 Opening Ceremony, but somehow they'll do it!

Last week we posted the Hope Solo Seiko campaign shot by Morten Smidt as well as some Olympic party ideas from Every Day with Rachael Ray shot by Lucy Schaeffer. Today we have a special treat! David Sykes shot this outtake for Bloomberg Business Week.

This was shot in the offices of Rio Tinto, the company that mines the metal for the Olympic medals! Believe it or not, those medals are the ACTUAL ones that will be given out to the athletes at the games! When we asked him what it was like, David shared that "they were extremely heavy since they are the biggest olympic medals ever made.". So crazy and exciting! We can't even imagine what it would be like to be in London right now, let alone have the opportunity to photograph the medals!

Happy Friday!

In honor of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, David Sykes discovered this hilarious jelly mold and wondered what better way to celebrate the Queen than to photograph his finding?

As David wrote on his blog: "I found this jelly mould by Lydia Leith and knew I wanted to do a test shot with it unfortunately I have been so busy I didn’t manage to do it before the jubilee so to wet your appetite I created this more simple shot for the jubilee weekend." 

Certainly did wet our appetite! Can't wait to see what the shot looks like!

Happy Monday and to everyone celebrating the Queen, we hope you are enjoying yourself!
