In his new photo series, “Sheriffs,” Matthias Clamer celebrates the legend of the small-town law officer
Last year, celebrity and entertainment photographer Matthias Clamer traveled through the Northwest on a mission to take portraits of county sheriffs in mostly remote areas. He spent weeks on the project, traversing the states in an old Suburban he nicknamed the Potato (because he bought it in Idaho).
“With these portraits, I hope to convey the romance I associate with the century-old institution of the small-town sheriff,” he says. “The sheriff is the good guy.”

Matthias Clamer shoots key art, publicity, and motion for AMC’s new drama “Preacher”
AMC commissioned Matthias Clamer to shoot key art, publicity images, and motion for its new original series, Preacher. The show’s official description:
“Based on the popular cult comic book franchise of the same name, Preacher is a supernatural, twisted and darkly comedic drama that follows a Texas preacher named Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), who is inhabited by a mysterious entity that causes him to develop a highly unusual power: the ability to make people do his bidding with just a word. Once this power attracts the attention of two mysterious angels (Fiore, played by Tom Brooke, and DeBlanc, played by Anatol Yusef), Jesse, his badass ex-girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) are thrust into a crazy world populated by a cast of characters from Heaven, Hell and everywhere in between.” (Learn more at amc.com/shows/preacher.)

Matthias Clamer on shooting the key art for the hit FX series “The Americans,” starring Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys
“The Americans is a show about a Russian couple, played by Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, who work as spies for the Soviet Union under the cover of leading perfectly average suburban lives in Virginia,” explains Matthias Clamer. “They are constantly close to being found out by an FBI agent, played by Noah Emmerich, or their own daughter, played by Holly Taylor.
“I shot portraits of nine characters, each to evoke a movie still and not a ‘photo shoot.,’” he continues. “I also shot many of the characters in a surveillance type of way, with a very long lens from a high vantage point through a window, mimicking shots we associate with closed-circuit TV surveillance or evidence a secret agent or detective would capture.
“The key art hints at the graphic nature of Russian propaganda poster art. In season, 5 Keri’s character seems to be more trigger happy, while Matthew’s character is opting for restraint.”
