In his own words, Hunter Freeman shares his new love for something very small.

 

BMW Isetta

In his search for something new, different, inspirational or just silly, Hunter Freeman met a woman who owned a Isetta.   He spent the day photographing and shooting video of her and her car.  He was all smiles when he told us about what he learned.

“BMW actually made the first smart car, the Isetta.  Ok, it’s perhaps not the first small car made for city driving, but it is certainly the coolest one.  I mean, what other car like this has so much personality?  You get in from the front??  What were those clowns at BMW thinking?  Well, they were thinking genius thoughts, I’d say.  Genius!!  What a completely fun car to drive, and be seen driving in, right?  Yep, it kinda is a clown car.  Even back in the day, I’m sure they were turning heads.  Today, this wonderful machine, a completely restored, mint condition 1956 BMW Isetta continues to make people smile:  it spreads joy wherever it goes.  Now, that’s a smart idea for car design.”

In his own words, Hunter Freeman shares about the new additions to his astronaut series.

“How much more extraterrestrial can you get (on this planet) than the Bonneville Salt Flats?  When I was asked to shoot a pro bono ad out there, I decided I had to shoot the Astronaut every which way I could think of, which I did, since every direction you look it’s another picture.  And as a bonus, I was able to spend following morning going all over Salt Lake City and shooting more Astronauts.  I had a blast.  We found a seedy local bar (customers waiting at 10:30 a.m., for the burgers, truth be told, but still…), a local convenience store, and a gas station.  They were terrific.  I felt so fortunate to get more than just one shot out of this trip.  I can’t wait to go back and shoot more.  The whole area had such a great feeling of closeness.  Everyone was just the best to deal with, which made it all wonderfully pleasant – no crazy haggling, no upset business owners.  A real breath of fresh air.  So, back to planning for the next mission.  Houston, we have a go.”  Hunter Freeman

Hunter Freeman shoots on the moon – well sort of.

Recently,  Hunter Freeman donated his time to a photo shoot for  Melwood, a non profit agency whose mission is to empower people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  In his own words, he describes how the shoot influenced him to continue his astronaut series.

” I didn’t think I would ever shoot on the moon, but when a friend called to ask for help with a pro bono client – and to shoot it on the Bonneville Salt Flats – I just had to help.  Melwood works with all kinds of companies and corporations, including NASA, and does a wonderful job of helping individuals with disabilities to find meaningful work and lives.  One of their specialties is receiving donated cars.  The commercial that was shot was a parody of the classic high end car commercial, with racing footage about a car that will “change peoples’ lives”, only the car ends up being a 1993 POS (Plymouth Sundance with 140K on it, to be precise).  So how could I not bring the Astronaut suit along and do some shots with that?  Everywhere I looked on the Salt Flats, there was another picture.

While the video crew was doing their thing, I shot the hero of the ad (the car) as well as one of Melwood’s clients, a lovely young guy named William.  He was great, and really got into being photographed with the Astronaut.  Interestingly, William and his caregiver left the next day – in “the car” – to drive east back to DC.  So far, so good, is the word.  Rumor has it, Melwoods’ agency SmithGifford will be posting their journey on YouTube soon.  We’ll keep you posted.”  Hunter Freeman

We are so not alone.

In his own words, Hunter Freeman discuss his thoughts on his new series of work, “We are not alone.”



“We are never alone, it seems, especially now.  At home or at work, the idea of privacy has changed over time and with changes in technology.  These pictures are a way of  demonstrating the new privacy – We are not alone, anymore.  The locations will change as I add to the series.  Smile at the camera.”
