Wounded
© Jesse MarlowWounds remind us that we're breakable. They give an exact GPS location of where we stand in life. And often they leave a scar forever tying us to that moment in time. You see, while perfection is what we're all aiming for, it's the scars that give us the best stories
“Having my arm in a sling for a short period of time some years ago opened my eyes to others around me in similar situations… It was then I began to consider the possibility of producing a series of photographs of people on the street in similar situations. Being wounded is an unfortunate experience most of us have to deal with at some point during our lifetime…Every time I turned a corner for the next few years, it seemed like all I saw was a broken arm or leg and crutches…Photographically it became a challenge to turn interesting looking injuries into interesting photographs…These are not photographs you can set out to take… Sitting outside a hospital would be cheating”

InstituteTM (collectively Institute Pictures, Institute Studios, & Institute Artist) is redefining how stories are produced and told in the 21st Century. Founded by Producer Frank Evers and Director/Visual Artist Lauren Greenfield, we are a multiplatform production company representing auteur-driven storytellers across commercials, photography, fine art, film, and technology — and producing original work across every screen that those stories live on. Our multiplatform expertise and established global relationships in entertainment, commercial, fine art, and journalism create unmatched reach and cross-pollination of creative work. A film commission informs a photography campaign; a fine art practice shapes a commercial; an editorial relationship opens a documentary. Few companies operate fluently across all of these worlds. Institute was built this way from the ground up.
