All Smiles!

 The dog days of summer are behind us and it will be fall before we know it. Here are some recent tear sheets that we just received.  Enjoy!

On the Road Again

Recently, one of our clients asked us to hit the road and photograph a family in southern Massachusetts. BJ's Wholesale Club prints a quarterly journal for it members and features a member profile in each issue. 

It is always a fun challenge to go into someone's home and photograph people who are not models or used to being in front of a camera. We rearranged their living room to create a studio for the main picture and then set up a shot on the couch to capture the whole family.  Cindy was fantastic to work with, and her little girls, Ryleigh, Peyton, and Emerson were very fun. 

After we put everything back in it's place we bid them farewell and headed back to Boston.

If you are a BJ's member you could be the next member profile - go to their Facebook page to learn more!

These Boots Were Made for Photographin'

A few months ago we were asked by one of our clients, Timberland, to photograph their classic yellow boot.

Timberland wanted the photo look as though it were shot outside, but it had to be photographed indoors for logistical reasons. So, we had the opportunity to fabricate an outside scene, with a very distinct looking wall and surface replicating the ground beneath the boot.

Since we were heading into a holiday weekend, we had only a few days for approval and to get the final set ready. Oh Boy!

The whole team kicked into high gear, and we want to give special thanks to Mari Quirk for making the set, even though she had a family reunion weekend at her house.

The shoot went fantastically, as we had the opportunity to work with a great stylist from NYC, Emeka Obi, who styled the jeans, while boot assistant Rob Coshow gallantly modeled for the shoot.

From the Street and into the Studio

One of the most rewarding parts of working on various advertising shoots is seeing the final results a few months later. This was a shoot that required careful planning from the start. The original idea was to photograph people in various locations around Boston.  Logistically it would have been possible, but to  and not break the budget and give us total control, shooting in the studio made the most sense. 

Over the course of three days, in the comfort of our studio, we transported our models into boardrooms, classrooms, and even a field of windmills. We shot the models in different poses with the idea that they would be holding a "window" into another part of the company.

The final results came out great! Take a journey and see for yourself!
