Our Work - Coca-Cola takes Photographer Mark Edward Harris and DigitalFusion around the World Photography by Mark Edward Harris"> "Inside North Korea" by Mark Edward Harris Coca-Cola takes Photographer Mark Edward Harris Mark Edward Harris Photographer: With a vision to create a Portrait Wall - a photographic exhibit exemplifying some of the many individuals whose lives have been touched and improved through the work of The Coca-Cola Foundation, the Coke team contacted renowned travel and portraiture photographer Mark Edward Harris to consider the daunting project. Photography by Mark Edward Harris"> When Mark first learned about the burgeoning job, he had some reservations including the worldwide logistics, the requirement for larger than life prints (110% of actual size) and the technology - film or digital. Mark collaborated with DigitalFusion's Pro Services team to determine just how to pull off this worldwide effort. Mark and the DigitalFusion team determined the job would be best served by medium format digital photography and through the use of DigitalFusion's HardFilm technology and DF Studio the team could provide Coca-Cola's creative team timely updates on the shoot. Mark invited the Coca-Cola team to DigitalFusion's facility in Culver City, California for an in-person presentation of the proposal. After seeing first hand, the way Mark captured and exposed Kelly Wearstler, the Coca-Cola team knew that they had found their photographer and in reviewing the proposal, they were confident that the combination of Mark's photography and DigitalFusion's services would get the job done.

As they traveled the globe, Mark reflects on the experience by recalling that everyone he encountered was enthusiastic about the project, willing to help and cooperate in any way that they could.
