Chad Temples
is a creative director, photographer, and aspiring freestyle canoeist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

That’s me. I’m him.

Once, I was driving home late at night on the back roads of rural Georgia, when out of nowhere a large black helicopter landed in the middle of a soybean field. A shadowy figure wearing nothing but a raccoon skin cap exited the aircraft and skipped like a schoolboy into the oak trees. I often wonder where he is now. Anyhoo! 

I have a real soft spot for pristinely dumb ideas and fried soft-shell crabs. When I’m not working and also when I am, I spend my time raising three kids and tending to a growing collection of decrepit film cameras. 

Wanna work together, or discuss the sublime perfection of the REM record Automatic for the PeopleBeep me.

Some things I’ve enjoyed lately:

︎B*tch I’m Lugubrious
︎Judith Joy Ross
︎Blowback
︎Steven Segal SNL Supercut

Moment of Silence

When Subaru makes a commercial about safety, they take it extremely seriously. Just like the safety of the cars themselves. For this piece, we used a real crash survivor story—and the real crashed car—to make something of an audiovisual punch in the gut area. CTA: hug your kids.
