Life’s a boot camp.
Here is the 1st commercial I directed for Pure Protein for Moosylvania.
Shooting with the Moose and Pure Protein
Just wrapped an awesome shoot with St Louis based Moosylvania and Pure Protein! We spent the better part of a week in production shooting a series of 5 print ads and 5 commercials for Pure Protein to be released in the coming months. I can’t show anything just yet but we did some killer stuff! Shooting all sports and active lifestyle. Great clients and a fantastic crew, Thanks everyone! Images and footage to come as soon as I can show them.

Sports Illustrated/McDonalds- Jack Sock
We recently did few shoots for Sports Illustrated for an advertorial for McDonalds. This first one was with pro tennis player Jack Sock. The assignment was to take him out to a location with a “Florida feel” and capture him in various action poses while dressed in his street clothes. There was an accompanying interview article with Jack about his background and his quick rise to fame within the pro tennis world.
Jack was really great to work with. He gave us his all despite it being quite hot on the beach and having to jump many times in jeans and a button down shirt. In the end it made for a nice shot. This is one of my favorites from the shoot. The magazine went with a slightly different angle where he was performing his signature serve. This one feels a bit more dynamic to me.
Aqua Zumba
Just wrapped a quick second shoot for Zumba ZLife Magazine shooting their Aqua Zumba fitness in the pool. If you haven’t tried it, you should, it’s a heck of a workout. It was a fun shoot. We started out above water with this shot (below) and when the rain moved in on us we weather proofed our strobes and went under water and did some fun shots below the surface.
Update: While we were shooting this assignment the client had a video guy doing a little behind the scenes shoot. Check it out here.
Speedo
Did a quick test for the books the other day. This one for Speedo.
Family Party
Here’s another series of images from the Sunrise Senior Living shoot. This one was a series from a multigenerational get together. The elder woman featured in the center is one of the residents and is a spry 96 years old who seems to have the energy and stamina of someone 20 years younger. She and her gracious family were very generous with time volunteering to be in this shot and later dancing up a storm in a party by the pool! Many thanks to them and my great crew.
Card Sharks.
We just wrapped a two day shoot for Sunrise Senior Living for their advertising and collateral materials. We had the opportunity to shoot a large group of really great seniors who seem to be loving life in their golden years. Here are just a few images from the card playing shots we did. These folks love their card games. It is serious business for some. Some never go a day without playing.
Lenovo- For those who Do.
Here are the ads we did recently with Saatchi & Saatchi for Lenovo. It was a really great shoot complete with a guy flying in a water propelled jet pack. Who doesn’t love jet packs! We shot 2 days alongside the TV production and 1 day specifically for stills. Special thanks to Hillary & Billy for hiring us and also to my great crew who worked long hours alongside the TV crew for 2 days in the heat!
Wonderful Machine Spotlight
The folks over at Wonderful Machine just featured me in their Spotlight email campaign this month! 
New Cannondale
Here’s a new shot I just finished from our Cannondale shoot.
Suffolk
A while back we shot a little project for Bluefish for Suffolk Construction doing some corporate work for their advertising. Suffolk is a rather large company which builds buildings across the country. We were tasked with shooting portraits of their management and executives. The original the job was produced as clean portraits on grey and I then gave it a twist and took it farther adding a bit of style & flare in post which you can see here. In all we shot about 15 shots, here are just a few.

New shoot for Saatchi & Lenovo computers

Here is the ad we shot recently for Little Debbie with Luckie & Co. It’s currently running nationally in Redbook, Woman’s World, Guideposts and several other woman’s magazines.
Behind the Scenes Stop Motion Video – New Balance Shoot
Here is a little stop motion behind the scenes video we did from the New Balance ad we shot for Mullen last spring.
Visit Florida TV Commercial
Visit FL TV ad from Pete Barrett on Vimeo.
This is the TV commercial we shot for Visit Florida with Alma DDB. We shot their entire print campaign as well as the multimedia stop motion stills for video for this spot.
Little Debbie!
We just landed a job for Little Debbie Snacks with our friends over at Luckie. Very excited to be working with them again. Not just because they are great to work with but who doesn’t love those Little Debbie Snacks? I used to live on them as a kid. My son who is 4 and usually can’t be torn away from his playing to come see me work has been begging me all day to come on our shoot so he can eat the goodies! Will post the work as soon as it hits the streets.
Suffolk Construction
Pete was hired recently by BlueFish to shoot a series of shots for Suffolk. If you’re not familiar with Suffolk, they are the ones who build many of today’s giant skyscrapers in some of our largest cities. Shot last week in Miami, with 3 more shoots in Palm Beach, Boston and out in LA yet to come!
