Ellucian | Higher Education Happens Here | Advertising Photographer
6:36 PM
Ellucian provides technology solutions and services that remove barriers, helping higher education institutions achieve student success. I was commissioned to shoot stills for their advertising campaign "Higher Education Happens Here." - the idea that students and professors can access their education content - grades, classes, schedules, etc anywhere. The imagery is emerging globally across multiple platforms for a period of 3 years. Included in this gallery are some of my favorites from the shoot, which of course couldn't be possible without a stellar team:
Creative Director: BRENT MORRIS
Production Company: LAUNCH SQUAD
Lighting Assistant: ALEXIS CUAREZMA
2nd Assistant: MINDY CRAWFORD
Happy to see my gallery Ads + Editorials featured on the American Photographic Artists national members gallery page again today, surrounded by some very talented photographers.
After a thorough phone conversation with the founder of the company I gained a solid idea of what they do and represent. We collectively came up with a great concept for the image-- The idea was to create one colorful, imaginative image that shows a client happily experiencing Vianza to find products for their own company. Sourcing goods online can be daunting, and she had to look like she was enjoying herself while using this service because it makes her life so much easier. The environment was intended to look a bit like organized chaos. I had a small team on site to organize props and items in the scene, while I worked on getting the lighting just right.
We used natural window light from the right (thank goodness for beautiful large north-facing windows) and a silver reflector wall built left to bounce some of that light back onto the scene. (The left of the image was darkened in post to accommodate the text overlay, even though it was shot evenly lit). Everyone I worked with was so dang efficient and effective, the pre-planning + actual shoot + post production took me about 6 hours to produce start to finish. I LOVE when that happens ;)
Here's the final image that is live on the site right now--
This was Vianza's website using a stock photo before--

Blackphone | Commercial Lifestyle Photography | Bay Area Lifestyle Advertising Photographer
7:22 PM
This past Spring I was hired by a local ad agency to create some photography for a brand new mobile product called Blackphone. Blackphone was to be the first truly "private" phone. In other words, undetectable and your data is incapable of being intercepted by anyone or anything. It has it's own private OS. You can read more about how awesome this phone is here - Blackphone // Wikipedia.
The agency wanted a collection of believable and relatable lifestyle images of the Blackphone -- product shots and lifestyle imagery showing the phone being used in public yet feeling private. We hired on 4 actors to shoot in 3 scenarios/ locations. I worked closely with the creative director to conceptualize the shots and timeline, working with best time of day at each location for most interesting light to work in. I also provided some product shots from my studio.
Below is a mixture of my favorite shots along with those already being used on the Blackphone website and in online advertising. These images and more will be releasing in the global market over a 3 year period of time across online and print mediums, keep an eye out! Special thanks to our our awesome talent, photo assistants Beata Pevny and Michelle Geer, and agency Siberia for bringing me on for this. It was a smooth collaboration, an easy success and a lot of fun!
