About Tiny Atlas

So often art directors, designers, photographers, stylists, digital techs and photo assistants (a chunk of the creative class) become great friends on set, intermittently cracking up and stressing out during the long sunrise to sunset hours we keep. As friends we work for clients and as friends we dine and travel the world together. It is rare that we come together professionally for projects of our own devising. Secretly though, this freelancing, non-office-job creative class wants to work all the time. Sure we want time off for meals, family, surfing and yoga (this is a California based magazine), but really we are compelled to work. This compulsion is the seed that is growing Tiny Atlas Quarterly.

Everyone loves to travel and take pictures, right? And this is what we do for a living. Instead of keeping all of our location production information and call sheets to ourselves though, we want to share it. Our job is to create images that capture a perfect moment and a perfect adventure, but always for a client.

With Tiny Atlas we are creating these stories for ourselves and for you. And while our clients may want the ever-sunny day, we also relish a moody storm sweeping across a mountain range. With Tiny Atlas Quarterly we want to show you the places we love to travel ourselves, both high and lowbrow. We also want to show you how we see our own backyards. This is Tiny Atlas. It’s the hired guns showing you how we like to do things. It’s the kids dance at the end of Dirty Dancing. We hope you enjoy it. We also we want to hear about your favorite locations and see and read about your trips, both real and fictitious.
