MJ Perkins is an international Director and Creative Director working across film, fashion, beauty, entertainment and culture. Based in Los Angeles, he works in New York and travels globally, partnering with brands, agencies and production teams from the first idea through production and final delivery.
The role is not simply to make something look good. It is to define the point of view, build the visual language and carry that language consistently through every stage of the work.
I work across creative strategy, concept development, art direction, film direction, image direction and production. Depending on the project, that can mean developing a campaign platform, directing a film or shoot, shaping the visual system for a launch, or helping a brand translate strategy into work people can actually feel.
Based in Los Angeles and available for local productions, campaigns, shoots, creative development and ongoing brand partnerships across fashion, beauty, entertainment and culture.
Available for New York-based projects, agency collaborations, fashion and beauty work, campaign development, production and directing assignments without presenting a separate New York office.
The strongest campaigns are usually built when strategy, image-making and production are connected instead of handed off as separate pieces. I stay close to the work from concept through execution so the finished result still carries the original idea.
The portfolio includes commissioned projects, collaborations and independent creative studies. Each is selected for the quality of the thinking, the image and the execution.
