I had the opportunity to photograph the principals of Project Projects during my last trip to New York City. Adam Michaels, Prem Krishnamurthy, and Rob Giampietro run a design studio in Manhattan, “focusing on print, identity, exhibition, and interactive work with clients in art and architecture.” They were a lot of fun to photograph, and they have some incredibly impressive work you can see here.

What is Projects Projects? A way of life. Cult. Culture. Creed. 

How did it start? It began on a whim. We met in the great melting pot of the U.S.A. — to be more precise, on the West Side of Manhattan, near Port Authority.

Who spends the most on take out? Our take out costs are substantial, and roughly speaking, evenly distributed.

What do you ultimately hope to accomplish? Difficult to summarize in few words, but: Fine typography. Equitable social relations.

From their caviar topped deviled eggs to their Billy Reid donning wait staff, Lisa Garza and Chef Jeffrey Hobbs bring great style and fashion to Southern cuisine.
