Something fresh for friday! We recieved these awesome landscape images from David Sykes just a few minutes ago. Never fear, he will continue to shoot those thoughtful conceptual shots you know and love him for. But it is always great to see the new and exciting directions our photographers are heading in!

We are very excited to announce and share images from David Sykes' latest campaign for Cool Whip! Back in January, David came to New York City to shoot the dessert shots for the "Cool Whip Moms" campaign. Working in tandem with The Martin Agency and a very impressive team of Cool Whip experts, David captured some amazing food shots that make us want to take a bite out of our computer screens. Take a look at some of the images currently being used on the official Cool Whip Facebook page.

Want some more? Here are the "cover photos" from the official Cool Whip Facebook Page featuring the images David shot! (More after the jump)

Pretty yummy looking huh? Those are some of the prettiest dolops we have ever seen! We had the privledge to visit the set of the shoot to watch David work his magic. It was quite the busy day but we were able to snap a cool behind the scenes shot for you here! A JMI exclusive:

Stay tuned and keep your eyes out for the rest of the Cool Whip campaign!

Do you feel it? Everyone in the industry certainly does! Heck, it seems that everyone in the world is talking about the return of Mad Men. To get into the spirit and add to the excitement and anticipation for Sunday's big premier, we decided that for this photo phriday we would share some of David Sykes' images that have a real Don Draper feel!

Happy Friday! We hope wherever you watch the premier you enjoy yourself a nice scotch. (And the show.)

"Hey, what is that on that card?" a man turned and asked in the elevator after catching a glimpse of David Sykes most recent promo card. "I've seen those codes everywhere, but what are they? what do they mean?"

Here was the image on the card (more after the jump):

Chances are you have seen an image like this considering QR codes are rampant these days! However, all of the ones that you've seen were (most likely) created on a computer. David Sykes took a different approach.

Sykes gathered a variety of items including boots, microphones, hair dryers and briefcases and arranged them to create this masterpeice! After putting all of the objects in the right pattern to create the code, David took an aerial shot in his studio. The coolest part? It actually works! Note: the code must be printed. It will not work if you try to scan the code from the computer. But with that, grab your smartphone or Ipad and enjoy!

Happy scanning!

Have you ever wondered if a plant would survive in space? Well, grab your backpack and your space suit and head to outerspace with Youtube. Partnering wih NASA and Lenovo, "Youtube's Space Lab" is asking kids ages 14-18 to come up with an experiment for space. The winning experiment will be performed on the International Space Station and broadcasted live on Youtube! JMI photographer David Sykes was selected to do the photography for the contest and the images are pretty outa this world if we do say so!

Corny jokes aside, we can't wait to see what they come up with and what experiment wins!

The photos below are right up there with some of the coolest we have seen from David Sykes! In this recent campaign for Esso which is running all over the UK, David has really done some wonderful work! Can’t wait to see what comes next! Be sure to check these out, and show them to your kids! They will love them.

David Sykes recently shot the latest Persil campaign with BBH London.

He has been on quite the roll since he got back from his last trip to NYC!

a forecast of essays and debates looking into and beyond 2010 for a thorough look of what to expect.

David Sykes shot this "light breakfast" for a personal project - it has been featured and raved on a number of blogs over the past few months such as aphotoeditor,  swissmiss, sayyestohoboken, and core77 to name a few.  David has continued his food series with the latest "spaghetti and meatballs" shot with a barrage of gym equipment (including socks and towels for the cheese).
