Optum x Photographer Pat Molnar
Photographer: Pat Molnar
Location: Tri State Area
Shoot Days: 5
Project: Optum Brand Shoot
Pat brought his director’s mindset to this stills project for Optum, treating each frame as part of a living, moving scene. Across a five day shoot with 45 talent, he created space for authentic moments to unfold, guiding performances that felt natural, expressive, and genuinely human.
There’s a playful layer of storytelling throughout, with Pat and the team finding creative ways to weave Optum’s signature “O” into the scenes through props, shapes, and a bit of fun, keeping it subtle but intentional.
Shot with a mix of available light and controlled setups, the images strike a balance between refined and real. It’s the kind of project where strong collaboration carries through, something Pat called out directly, sharing how grateful he was to work with “some incredible creatives,” and one that has already brought the team back together for another project.
