In A Nutshell
Combining entrepreneurial zeal with 25+ years of experience in the business of photography, Roark Dunn looks to maximize the quality and overall value of photoshoots for brands or their agencies.

Having been a top-tier photo agent for artists like David LaChapelle and Gilles Bensimon, Roark became frustrated with the system for finding and hiring artists and crew. Looking for new and better ways to be of service to his clients, he founded the first noncommission-based photographer referral service in the industry.

With a roster of clients from ranging from multi-billion dollar global conglomerates to mom & pop start-ups, he loves nothing better than cutting through the clutter and helping brands create the best possible imagery money and time will allow.

Clients: L’Oréal; CVS/ Caremark; Vince; Procter & Gamble; Unilever; IKEA; Nike; Victoria’s Secret; Neiman Marcus; Nordstrom; Tahari; Kellwood; Jones Apparel; Limited Brands; G-III; Donna Karan; XOXO, Caché, Holt Renfrew; Dillard’s; Badger & Winters; Anne Klein; La Senza; Levi’s; Lee; Wrangler; Revlon; Clairol; Paul Mitchell; Maybelline; Nexxus; Bare Necessities; DSW; Cole Haan; GH Bass & Co; Campell Mithun; NSG/ SWAT; McCann Worldwide; Nuance Salma Hayek
