While employed at Fresh Produce I art directed and produced several lifestyle and studio photoshoots. The process entails sourcing photographers, locations, models, permits, accomodations, and more. Production books were created to include all of this information as well as the game plan for the entire shoot and each day individually. I also managed the files on the back end. Chose selects and organized folders for end use.
This was a new one for me. Art directing via a streaming zoom call. The goal of the shoot was to showcase the natural ingredients included in the product line.

The images here are a sampling of the Crocs Spring Summer Laydown Shoot for 2016 product. I was lead art director for this portion of the shoot. The team included a photographer, digital tech, set assistant and prop assistant. It was a collaborative effort and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I played an active role in choosing and suggesting props, arranging the product and approving final frames. The shoot took place over 5 days in 4 different locations in Southern California in conjunction with the on figure, lifestyle portion of the shoot. These are a few of my favorite takes. Final shot count for the week was 75.
