Product Photography for Travel Accessories Company

Redesigning a website often prompts the need for new photographs — and that’s what often brings us together! :)

Ms. Jetsetter, a Chicago travel accessories company, and a female and black owned business, began redesigning their website and recognized the need for images of their product beyond the classic product on a white background, often used for an e-commerce product page.

In addition to the website needs, we also wanted to create several unique images to help support their social media content. So we experimented with different looks, and created unique “locations” within our one location, to get more variety. We really enjoyed mimicking sunlight coming through a window to evoke a different feel.

We also had these beautiful models showcase the products, providing an additional perspective.

We also managed to squeeze in a portrait of the owner, Tracey, who’s warm smile is a perfect reflection of her personality — who doesn’t need one of these for their About Us page? 😍

Virtual Tour of St. Catherine Labouré Catholic School

The pandemic has been challenging on students, parents, teachers but St. Catherine Labouré is one example of a beautiful community that has worked through it together.

Below is an example of a virtual tour to help prospective parents learn more about the school. Subtitles/Closed Captions were created for the video in the event their audience does not have their sound turned on.

The majority of the video footage was shot during one school day, with some supplemental footage from parents and faculty members.

Behind the Scenes of a Customer Testimonial Video

Sometimes our footage is used as part of a larger video project and often times we do not have access to the final product.

That being said, here are some behind the scenes photos to give you a feel of what’s entailed in a customer testimonial video.

This customer testimonial video has:

• a two camera angle setup both shooting in 4k

• wireless audio recorded to an external recorder

• key light to fill the subject

A two camera angle setup helps keep the viewer engaged, and enables more options in the edit to piece together thoughts, remove “umms” and “ahs”, etc.

Promote with an Instagram and Facebook Story

Here are two examples of creating vertical promotional videos for Instagram and Facebook Stories.

Both videos were used to promote the first virtual fashion show of Gidi.

Behind the Scenes on Real Estate Lighting

In order to get real estate shoots to pop, we add additional light as needed. Here is a behind the scenes look on how to create well lit images in environments that might need that extra pop of light. In this example, the cabinets were not well lit by the available light.

An example of using more than available light to help the cabinets pop.
