FitBit’s Aria Smart Scale Lifestyle Campaign

admin — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 04:36:29 +0000

Working with Fitbit’s creative team, we conceptualized inspirational shots of people interacting with their cutting edge scales. It was a two-part shoot, first in the studio for clean product shots and then on location for the lifestyle photographs. Finding the perfect bathroom was quite a feat – we wanted a contemporary bathtub on a warm tiled floor in a light-filled space big enough to fit all of us and our equipment. Thanks to Cindi at Mint Locations, we found exactly what we needed. Heather, our stylist, added the perfect pop of color for each of our different looks, and when Art Director Mark’s toddler showed up on set we immediately incorporated his adorable feet into the shoot. I love those spontaneous moments and the ideas that come from them!

Amenity Home Brand Retrospective

We were originally brought in by Amenity Home in 2004 to photograph their unique line of duvet covers featuring hand-drawn silhouettes on certified organic fabrics. Over the next seven years we were fortunate to document their growth as they expanded their product line into home accessories, nursery and furniture. Their devotion to sustainability through beautiful design is truly inspirational – it’s great to see the years of working with Amenity Home all in one place.

Happy Fourth of July

Verre New York’s “Let them wear glass” Campaign

admin — Sun, 08 May 2011 23:39:11 +0000

Working closely with Verre New York’s owner and designer Julie Burton, we conceived this shoot to be about playing with perception and the transparency of glass. The clear containers acted like frames to accent the shapes, lines and translucent colors of the jewelry. Working in studio with simple and elegant glass pieces makes playing with light incredibly fun.

Safecoat Paint Sustainable Lifestyle Campaign

admin — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 23:30:35 +0000

Marketing firm Big Imagination Group wanted to portray the wellness lifestyle for businesses and health-minded individuals offered by Safecoat paint and Dr. Noah Simons, a pediatrician in San Francisco, was the perfect person. His concern for the well-being of his patients is paramount and, since Safecoat is proud to be one of the only doctor recommended paints on the market, the two together were perfect. Dr. Simon’s offices are inviting and visually stimulating – the vibrantly colored rooms and hip, kid-oriented decor made it a pleasure to shoot there, as did meeting his adorable patients.

Kristen Elspeth’s Spring Marketing Campaign

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 19:00:26 +0000

Echo Park-based jewelry designer Kristen Levy draws inspiration for her jewelry line from found objects and indigenous spirituality. Her signature pieces center on the naturally-shed quills of the North American and African Porcupine, representing trust, innocence, intelligence and protection from dark spirits. Working with Art Director David J Weissberg we planned the shoot to reflect a dark, moody vibe while showing off each piece and keeping with Kristen’s vision and design philosophy.

Matcha Source “Refreshing ways to drink it” Shoot

admin — Tue, 18 May 2010 22:27:26 +0000

Used in Japanese tea ceremonies for hundreds of years, matcha is a fine powder whisked with water to make green tea. Matcha Source’s owner Alissa wanted customers to see the versatility of matcha – refreshing as a glass of iced tea or soothing as a warm-milk latte. We sought to visually capture matcha’s frothy, fresh taste as well as its vibrant color. Our team certainly enjoyed sipping poolside iced teas between setups!
