A Different Perspective

Sometimes we need to think outside of the box to create and capture that perfect shot. Rugged, durable, and authentic were the hot words of this shoot, while keeping the heritage of the Timberland brand top of mind. We loved the challenge of finding specific textures and backgrounds to help carry out this concept. Our favorite setup of the day included the bed of a vintage Ford pick up truck and a ten-foot ladder in order to snap the perfect bird’s eye view shot!

Life’s a Little Sweeter with UNREAL Candy

Mouth watering tastes and eye-catching colors filled the studio when UNREAL came on set to shoot their bold new packaging. We love what UNREAL is about- great tasting candy made with all natural ingredients, or in other words, candy that is “unjunked”. That made us feel a little less guilty as we snacked on candy coated chocolates and peanut butter cups throughout the day!

MichaelIndresanoUnreal_Combo_2Mmm, the final product!

Our Best Foot Forward

It is not every day that we have an opportunity to work with a client that is a completely new company. We were thrilled to have the chance to work with the very cool people at Topo Athletic as they were launching a whole new brand of footwear. Being part of company in it’s infancy is very exciting and we are looking forward to watching them grow. Below are some of the collateral pieces used for their website and sales catalog, enjoy!

Smoothie Power!

With the change in weather, we thought it was time to get fit and ready for the summer. We started off our beach diet shooting with the great a client to get some healthy and tasty images into their cafes. All of the smoothies were delicious and gave us the energy to power through and create great pictures all day long! See below for a few of the final ads;

Back on the Ice

The Bruins drop the puck tonight to kick off their run for the Stanley Cup, so we wanted to share the photo shoot we did with the Ice Girls. When the NHL lockout ended, we skated into high gear on short notice to get everything ready. Fortunately, we knew the drill as we did the Bruins and Ice Girls team shoot the season before at the TD Garden. Enjoy and Let’s Go Bruins! Boston STRONG!

Brit Gets Stuck on Boston

Recently we were contacted for a photo shoot with the fabulous Brit Morin of  Brit +Co and her new partner Velcro Industries. With Brit flying in from San Francisco and the shoot scheduled just days away, we swiftly moved into production with a great crew to create an entire set made of VELCRO® Brand.  The shoot went flawlessly and the client was thrilled with the results, as was Brit. Look for her on the Velcro Industries site throughout the year, especially during the 2013 Holidays!

Harlem Shake – Maxi-Cosi Style!

We thought we would add our own version of the Harlem Shake meme with a little help from our good friends at Maxi-Cosi. The concept of revealing their newest infant car seat had us shooting many images of the fabric in mid flight. Have a look at the video and final ads below.

Paris to the Carribean and Back

As promised, here is the second installment of the ads we created with our friends at AAA. It was a fun challenge to set-up a pool in sub freezing temperatures, assemble a 1000 piece puzzle and navigate through the crowd at Gillette stadium during a Patriots game.  We are always willing to go the extra mile  to have a happy and satisfied client at the end of the day!

City Lights – Boston Interactive Leadership Photo

  Our friends at Boston Interactive contacted us to shoot an updated look of their leadership team. After a few creative calls we wanted to do something that reflected their vibrant and fast paced image as well as show they were based in Boston, and more accurately Charlestown. We packed up and headed to Paul Revere Park and spent an afternoon scouting to find the best angle of the Zakim Bridge for the photo. After shooting well into the early evening we made some great images and had a fun time doing  it too!20121098_BostonInteractive_FinalFeb26

The whole team – Reservoir Dogs style – pack smart phones, not 45’s!

Dreaming of a Winter Vacation

Now that we have dug ourselves out from the blizzard of 2013 here in Boston, it seems fitting that we start fantasizing about going on a warm vacation. We were contacted by the creative team at AAA to make a series of images that would transform you from the routine of everyday to a place you would rather be. Here are the first two in the series with more to come!
