ABOUT

ABOUT THE AGENT:
Agent is my middle name, or more so like Mr. or something…
 
Since 1989 I have been representing some of the nation’s top photographers and directors. With 3 artists based in Minneapolis, and 1 in L.A., we are surrounded by some of the best advertising agencies, retailers, and creative talent this country has to offer. We've shot in places like South America, Mexico, Japan, China, India, Europe, Canada, and all across the United States as well.
 
Prior to becoming “your agent for creative services” I spent over 10 years as a musician / recording artist touring & sharing the stage with bands like REM, The Psychedelic Furs, Bauhaus, and Iggy Pop to name a few…these experiences prepared me well for the position which I now employ, and gave me a unique perspective into both the art and commerce sides of the creative process…

Helping you find the right personality to create your vision is key. I can quickly identify who might be the best fit for your project and find you a photographer or director that makes sense to you either in terms of style, or budget. If you need to see more imagery, or something specific, I can create a custom portfolio for you, or use the links below to access my photographers own websites.

We provide full Production Services including: Estimating, Consulting, Producers, Photo/Digi techs, Assistants, Rental Studios, Talent/Castings, Stylists, Make-up Artists, Set Building, Props, Animal talent, Wranglers, Locations, Scouting, Production RV's/vehicles, Grip trucks & Rental equipment, and have experience and contacts on a global scale…
 
If I'm not in Minneapolis, you might find me calling on Agencies in cities like Miami, Orlando, Naples, Denver, Kansas City, Dallas, Seattle, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Chicago, LA, and all places in-between. For updates on where I’ll be with the portfolios, what my photographers are working on, or other creative activity that directly impacts the quality of life on earth, please check out my new blog @ www.secretagentmaninc.@wordpress.com, Linkedin, or find me on Facebook.

I enjoy being able to give back on behalf of my clients every year both in time and donations to causes like CureDuchenne, Second Harvest Food Bank, MS150, Feed my Starving Children, The Spinal Cord Society, Mesothelioma Research Foundation, and the American Cancer Society. Let me know if you have a special cause or Charity that you would like me to add to my list in your name. Thanks - S.A.M.
