A&T Talks — Practical advice and insight for your creative journey.
:: BREAKDOWN
In this A&T Talks episode, award-winning photographer & artist Warwick Saint, world-renowned for his masterfully lit iconic portraits, joins us to share the pivotal moments of his career as editorial photographer and painter. He speaks about the importance of preparing for photographic opportunities, developing personal work, and having the courage to reinvent yourself as an artist.
In his work, Saint has uniquely captured the celebrities and visionaries of our time, working with icons such as Oprah, Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Beyonce, LeBron James, Lady Gaga, and more.
After first breaking into fashion with his legendary 'Elephant Boy' series based on his South African roots, Saint proceeded to lead worldwide photographic campaigns for the Olympic Games, BMW, Nike and World Cup Soccer. He has also collaborated with musicians and performers, creating some of the most iconic album covers of the last 20 years.
Today, Saint's work has moved beyond traditional photography and transitioned into the fine art world, using his celebrity portraits as the canvas for experimenting with acrylics, otherwise known as "Lumadynamic Decomposition."

In this A&T Talks episode, designer, teacher, and author, Michael Shumate joins us to talk about the concepts in his new book Logo Design Theory: How Branding Design Really Works. He taught graphic design and illustration for twenty-five years and is now generously sharing his discoveries on the principles of logo design with the world. Michael has designed identities in all areas of branding: commercial, government, institutional, product and retail.
While teaching Branding Design he taught approximately 900 students and graded over 2700 branding projects. That teaching experience, in addition to his professional work, helped him discover fundamental principles of identity design, the core principles of logo design, that remain true, regardless of current fads or fashions. Today, he continues his teaching tradition via his Youtube channel where he is creating what is arguably a masterclass on how to design logos that adhere to the principles of design and can stand the test of time.
