ADC launches Legacy film series featuring renowned photographer Simon Harsent
New York-based ADC, the first global membership organisation to celebrate and award leaders in creative communications, has released its new Legacy film series this morning, featuring industry greats including Simon Harsent who is widely recognised and active in Asia and Australia.
The film series also features Steven Heller and Bonnie Siegler.
Says Harsent: “I think that a legacy is more than just work, the legacy is really about how you create that work, how you treat the people, and how you pass that on.”
Harsent, one of the most awarded photographers in the world, splits his time between New York and Australia, and between commercial and fine art work. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide.
Says Ignacio Oreamuno, executive director, ADC: “When George Lois and I first discussed his campaign for our 2015 awards season, there was one thing we agreed was undeniable. Winning an ADC Cube means immortality for your work. This series of videos really illuminates what ‘legacy’ means to some of the greatest individuals working in the creative industries today. It’s a stunning tribute to work that will live forever, and the people who make it.”
ADC’s 2015 awards season is currently underway, marking the first year that ADC has combined the rich history of the ADC 94th Annual Awards, the oldest continuous international advertising and design award show in the world; the forward-thinking ADC Tomorrow Awards, where creativity and technology come together to blaze a path to the future; and the 13th class of ADC Young Guns, an international portfolio competition for creative professionals age 30 years and under.
