Matchbox Studios Design Photographer Dick Patrick’s Sensuous Tour of New Orleans
Vicki YoungVicki Young Posted On January 27, 2021


Photographer/Director Dick Patrick announces the completion of a new collection of work that focuses on New Orleans, his hometown. The piece, designed by Dallas-based Matchbox Studios, is a 36-page, wire-bound book that combines recent photographs, personal notes, and Patrick’s childhood memories of the French Quarter to explore the essence of New Orleans.

The portfolio’s delicious images of food, light and architecture capture the soul of The Crescent City in a way that only a New Orleans native could. The book’s cover announces that, “When it’s good, it’s worth sharing. When it’s great, you must. New Orleans, my home, is a work of art.” So is this portfolio. Designed by The Matchbox Studio in Dallas, it’s a uniquely beautiful book that employs innovative printing techniques and a variety of unique papers to create a piece that is as enjoyable to touch as it is to see.

About Dick Patrick, photographer/director

Dick Patrick’s award-winning career in photography began before he could legally drive a car. He grew up in a household where photography was the family business and terms like aperture and depth of field were common vernacular.

As a native of New Orleans, Patrick’s love of Southern cooking and the unique spirit of his hometown were baked in. It was only a matter of time before these influences–food, photography, and the French Quarter–came together to create this evocative celebration of New Orleans and the food that helped make it famous.

A semester abroad, while earning her undergrad at Trinity University, lead to her earning the title of Chef from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. From there, years of learning the craft of food styling set the stage for Paige to start her own business.

charlieuniformtango Producer Michael Wagner Moves Up to Senior Producer
Vicki YoungVicki Young Posted On January 8, 2020


DALLAS– (January 8, 2020)–Lola Lott, charlieuniformtango principal/CEO announced Dallas-based producer Michael Wagner has been promoted to senior producer.

“Michael has been with charlietango four years now and has produced outstanding work for clients such as Dr. Pepper, Lexus, Mary-Kay, Schwab and Raising Cane’s. His attention to detail and great attitude makes him a pleasure to work with – both for our team and our clients. We look forward to many more years of enjoying and sharing his talents,” said Lola Lott.

Michael Wagner joined charlieuniformtango in January 2016 as a junior producer. He quickly worked his way up to producer. He graduated from the University of Arkansas with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Minor in History. After graduation, Michael applied to and was hired by BNSF Railroad as a train dispatcher – a position that followed in his father’s footsteps. He was with BNSF from 2013-2015. About this time, a chance meeting with other tango producers, who immediately saw talents in Michael that they felt would translate to producing, happened to line up with a time in Michael’s career when he was looking for a change.

“It means the world to me having been able to grow and develop the past four years and now to become a senior producer.” Michael says, “Oddly enough, there are quite a few similarities between transportation and post-production. Basically, you’re the gatekeeper in both positions. In train dispatching you manage, determine/direct, and schedule both trains and maintenance on the tracks. In producing you manage the artists and client schedules – both are all about planning. It seems like you’re always trying to hit a moving target in post and making sure you have a good plan in place, as well as thinking ahead for any curveballs that may come your way is what keeps me on my toes. ‘Love it when a plan comes together’ is my favorite line.”

Michael currently lives in Dallas with his girlfriend, Mariana, and two teacup Chihuahuas named Monita and Chloe. When he’s not producing, he loves sports – especially fantasy football with charlietango co-workers and friends.

Director/Photographer Stewart Cohen “Seeing Red” Book Signing at Nuvo
Vicki YoungVicki Young Posted On December 2, 2019


Director/Photographer Stewart Cohen held a book signing of his latest monograph, “Seeing Red,” at Nuvo gift shop on Friday, November 22nd. Neighbor, Parigi Restaurant, joined in the celebration by offering all redheaded dinner guests a complimentary red velvet cupcake.

Seeing Red explores the popular notion that redheads are on their way to extinction. It was this rumor that piqued Stewart’s interest and ignited his desire to untangle the mysteries surrounding red hair with a fine-tooth comb. He examined a cross section of gingers from all walks of life that resulted in a series of portraits captured in a way that Stewart envisioned an extinct species to be displayed. Although, each of the redheads captured on these pages seem to be that much more full of life.

SCPictures is a full-service content production company located in Dallas, Texas that specializes in creating end-to-end live-action and still photography content.

To purchase Seeing Red, order online at Dream Editions Press  orders placed by December 10th  will receive a signed copy.  To see more of Stewart Cohen’s work visit SCPictures and connect on social media –Instagram, Facebook.

Vicki YoungVicki Young Posted On August 23, 2019


Lola Lott, charlieuniformtango Principal/CEO, announced charlieuniformtango has completed a new campaign for CRAVE pet food out of BBDO San Francisco. Director Randal Ford’s outstanding abilities to work with animals is showcased in the work for the protein-rich pet food.

“Randal has an uncanny ability when working with animals to capture their full attention, and his attention to the details of the animal such as eyes, muscles, and claws make these spots beautiful and sexy,” said Lola Lott.

“I really enjoy working with animals,” said director Randal Ford. “I feel a connection and I like to show their individual personalities through close-ups, eye contact, and interaction. Our team really enjoyed working with BBDO and CRAVE on this campaign and getting a chance to work with some wonderful pets.”

Book Signing at Interabang Books

Director/Photographer Stewart Cohen had a book signing of his latest book “Seeing Red” at Interabang Books in Dallas Saturday, June 15th.

“Seeing Red” captures the essence of what it feels like to be a member of this endangered group in his book of photographic portraits. More than 300 photo sessions were held on two different continents to create a series of portraits, each styled in a way that shows how an extinct species might be displayed for posterity.

“I began thinking about how fascinating it would be to memorialize as many redheads as possible. I photographed each subject in an elegant, tufted shadow box – a visual allegory for redheads facing extinction. Once the word spread that I was shooting redheads, I had an overwhelming response from gingers around the world – each wanting to be immortalized as a part of the project. Three hundred portraits later, I’ve developed a real affinity for them.”
