“Photography…it is a forbidding, ironical art. The dragging of seized moments into the future that should have been permitted to fade into the past. They should exist only in recollections, glimpsed through the haze of occurrences that came after. Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down.”

—Michael Lloyd

Michael Lloyd, aka the Media Guy, is a walking encyclopedia of contemporary traditional peoples of the Middle East. For nearly two decades, he has chronicled the story of the Middle Eastern experience both in print and through photography. In the pages of ALO Magazine, the U.S.’s first Middle Eastern Lifestyle Magazine, his work achieved a certain cult following. He felt most intensely alive when living on the same level as his Middle Eastern companions, yet rejoiced in his ability to humanize seemingly regular folk of the Third World to the First World. 

Take a visual journey through the eyes of a makeshift anthropologist. The extraordinary photographs showcased in Landscapes of Life are from the eclectic viewpoint of Michael Lloyd, who snaps at will to capture the moments often missed, 

This remarkable book showcases endless emotions adding up to a panoramic view of life from Los Angeles to Lebanon. You’ll discover heartwarming photographs that perfectly capture the spirit of the mind. 

His subjects, entangled in their emotions, all seem to feel unobserved and safe. We remain unaware about the causes of the passionate feelings of his characters, their experiences before being captured in their apparently agitated and alternating loving moods. 

With images of princesses, immigrants, mountain men, husband hunters, interns, prostitutes, finding inner peace at the Great Pyramid of Egypt, life inside pre-revolution Syria and the constantly perilous Beirut, and more. Landscapes of Life captures the world’s cosmopolitan lifestyles and common living with intimate portraits and the human intimacy inside, where the heart lives. 

Your imagination couples layered overviews to create expanded thinking behind these photos to embark on an exciting journey. They remind us of film scenes we have never seen. Lloyd’s photos are very expressive, matching the subjects that are filled with exciting details. The observer can’t escape the unique mood highlighted in these photos.

If you want an advertising or marketing campaign with a visual identity and killer concept, then you’ve come to the right spot.

• Positioning
• Brand image.
• Big idea.

My mentor in my early days in the New York City ad agency days told me that these are three pillars of producing advertising that sells. The average person is bombarded with advertisements all day, every day. More than they can handle. How do you get someone to purchase your product or service?

It used to be the loudest would win the day. These days, the Internet has changed everything because everyone can hypothetically be the loudest. Your campaign can be loud and in their face but that doesn’t ensure your carts will be full. Customers are smarter than ever. 

Crafting a sage advertising or marketing campaign can be mystifying, time-consuming, and expensive—which is exactly why you need a fresh set of eyes. My campaigns have been seen all over the world and resulted in media buys exceeding $200 million. I will build your effective ad campaign that drives the ROI you’re seeking.
