2026 Director’s Reel What an incredible year 2025 was. I can’t thank the crews, agencies, production companies, and clients enough that trusted me in executing their projects and campaigns. 2025 was a year of honing my creative style, craft, and vision here in New York. I craft emotionally intelligent, striking visuals that resonate and perform. Capturing the essence of a brand is my creative lighthouse, and I would love to work with you in 2026. My heart is full of gratitude. cullenblanchfield.com #directorreel #nycdirector #commercialdirector

It was such a privilege to work with @taylor_hill and Co-Founder @mackinley_hill and their incredible team at @stonefruit for the official launch campaign of their Barrel line, here in New York. This was a job with fantastic creative from Creative Director @rachel_hinman and her team. We only had a few hours to capture both motion and stills, but if you know me, that’s where I love to be. Taylor was a dream to work with, and I can’t thank @terrellkikis and Taylor’s team enough for everything.

“DREAMS” campaign with Emily DiDonato @emilydidonato  for Eight Sleep @eightsleep Directing and photographing this campaign was a huge privilege and an amazing experience. Working with such an incredible talent like Emily was something I won’t forget, and I can’t thank Eight Sleep and the crew enough for bringing it to life. We created the launch of “DREAMS” as well as the launch of Pregnancy Mode from this shoot day, and I can’t wait to see where both of these go. Kudos to Eight Sleep for some killer creative and setting the pace for their industry and beyond.

Official “DREAMS” campaign with Emily DiDonato @emilydidonato for Eight Sleep @eightsleep It was a privilege, as always, to work with Eight Sleep on this. It’s a rare opportunity to work with someone as iconic and down-to-earth as Emily, and I will always cherish it. Emily was the perfect choice to partner with Eight Sleep for their new Pregnancy Mode, and as the first installment of their Dreams campaign. 
This campaign’s creative was invigorating from the start, and I loved being able to contribute to it and execute it. Eight Sleep continues to redefine and set the pace for its industry and beyond. This was a dynamic stills (film & digital) and motion campaign. Stay tuned for the motion, which I’ll be posting soon.

On this day exactly 2 years ago, I set out to break a world record with New York legend @pushingpawnsnyc . A moment that changed my entire world and opened my life to endless imagination and possibility. Today, I am filled with gratitude, and still deeply committed to wonder. To dreaming. To doing great things from small places. Happy world record anniversary ❤️ And thank you to @cullensframes for taking the time to film this beautiful video.

Portrait catch up. Having my own studio space has been such a creative benefit, and I can’t thank everyone enough that’s asked me to capture them in their element here. Some old, some new, some in the studio, some not, just wanted to post some portraits I’ve been revisiting recently. #portraitphotography #studiophotography #nycphotographer

Tunde Onakoya @tunde_onakoya is a Nigerian chess master and coach, who holds the Guinness World Record for the longest marathon chess game. He is the founder and convener of Chess in Slums Africa @chessinslums I had the privilege of capturing him in New York City, and feel lucky to share his story with the world. “It is possible to do great things from a small place.” #tundeonakoya #chess #chessmaster

Founders portraits for @eightsleep shot here in NYC. Having Eight Sleep as a client over nearly the last two years has been an amazing gift. Watching the company and the team grow at incredible speeds while executing dozens of projects together has built a fruitful partnership between me and the team. I’m grateful to be surrounding by such talented creatives at Eight Sleep. I can’t thank @beana.b and @mariasalgadoo enough for their loyalty and support over the last nearly two years, and @khoizinho and @yannmoz for the more recent trust and collaboration. With Eight Sleep rocketing to a $1.5B valuation - the future is bright, and I’m lucky to feel like a very small part of it. Thank you @alexzatarainj @matteofranceschetti and Max for the opportunity to capture you.
