John Hubbell

I rebranded my former shop to reflect my move back West after many years on the East Coast and overseas. From here, I travel the globe to tell true stories for principled clients, teaming with leaders in photojournalism, cinematography, animation, illustration and interactive design. My collaborators and I bring a Western attitude to global latitudes. The result is award-winning, journalistically rigorous, ethically driven portraiture that animate and celebrate humanity in sometimes unexpected places. Our work plays on screens large and small, at august award ceremonies, inside engaging museums and on familiar, trusted journalistic platforms. We often take commissions centered around interesting people and emerging issues in emerging technology, academia, health care, applied sciences and global monetary policy. We've filmed in Asia, Europe, Africa and most of the United States. California Story Company is the rebrand of Old Bridge Media, which I founded in 2007. As a fourth-generation Californian, the change reflects my return to my home state after 15 years spent being based in the American South, Southeast Asia and the East Coast.
