Most of us know Adorama as a photo retailer or New York trusted rental house, but today the company announced its position a finalist for the Shorty Awards’ “Best Influencer and Celebrity YouTube Campaign” for its “Top Model”-inspired competition for photographers, as well as “Best in Retail and E-Commerce.” “Top Photographer with Nigel Barker” aired its first episode via YouTube in November of last year. The series includes five episodes that run for 20 minutes each; and needless to say, the drama of reality television moves at a lightning pace from one episode to the next. The web series is one of Adorama’s three original shows, a happy addition to “Alex and Henry Take the Road” and “Through the Lens,” which is now on its second season. The Shorty Awards are on its ninth round of accolades. It has recognized influencers, companies and campaigns that dominate social media, such as the #LikeAGirl campaign by Always (who won a silver for the consumer brand category) and the “I Fucking Love Science” Facebook page. Finalists are chosen by the Real Time Academy for the Arts and Sciences, which aims to bring together a mixed bag of personalities: Arianna Huffington and Jenna Marbles being part of the coalition. “The demand for quality content across social media platforms is skyrocketing, and Adorama is developing all of its programs with this appetite in mind,” said Lev Parker, Adorama’s chief marketing officer, in a press release. The Shorty Awards will take place on April 23 in New York City. Other finalists for the Influencer and Celebrity YouTube category are last year’s #VoteIRL starring President Barack Obama, Undercover Lyft with Shaquille O’Neil, Nick Offerman’s “New Year’s Eve”, the Goodwill Ambassadors campaign, and a Scott-sponsored vlogs featuring cardboard rolls. A lot of cardboard rolls. Nonetheless, it’s refreshing to see some well-deserved and much-needed recognition among the photo industry. See more from AdoramaTV here.

Phillip Kremer, a Houston resident whose passion is making belly fat a replacement for foreheads, has made those two things symbiotic. Photo by Phillip Kremer
Kremer’s Instagram account has been through the limbo of non-existence and back, having been deleted by the site several times before reaching the success of a third go-round. His account features a portfolio of distorted political figure-heads, cops, and celebrities, far from withstanding the principles of decency that says he can’t tinker with the face of a smiling child—he already has. Photo by Phillip Kremer But why does he do it? Kremer boils it down to a cathartic release of pent-up boredom that he says is “better than drugs.” He has 65,700 followers and receives over a thousand likes per photo. Photo by Phillip Kremer Kremer has attracted thousands of willing viewers including Katy Perry and John Mayer. Though flattered by his celebrity following, Kremer is more excited about the variety in demographics his content receives. Tattoo artists appreciate having blank faces (like Mao Zedong’s) to practice on. Christian youth groups call his work an abomination, yet pay close attention to is. And the art world is buzzing with relentless attempts to understand the work of an anomaly. Photo by Phillip Kremer The artist is beholden to musings like, “I like anyone who is using the 11th percent of their brain. The third eye sees all!” Which, of course, was in response to a question by the Humble Art Foundation: ‘who is your favorite photographer?’ And Kremer’s description of his day job is in the same spirit. The warehouse he works in sits on a plot of land, alongside others just like it and a stretch of train tracks northeast of downtown Houston. His says the office smells like stale cigarettes. “I took the job for the atmosphere,” Kremer said. Photo by Phillip Kremer When asked about allegations of censoring Kremer’s work, an Instagram spokesman seemed to withhold more than he was pressed for. “Although I’m not allowed to comment on individual accounts, I can tell you that the depictions of Donald Trump had nothing to do with the account being removed,” said Instagram’s Director of Communications Gabe Madwayto KUHF.
