I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately and have found myself digging through old hard drives. The other day I came upon this shoot I did in 2017 with Juli at PaleOMG for one of her many brand collaborations — this time with Nike!
Juli and I used to do a ton of shoots together. We would do a couple a month, often featuring whichever sponsorships she’d landed at the time. We’d do multiple outfit changes per shoot for her Instagram and website.
For each session we did together, we’d talk about her vision for the shoot in the car ride over to wherever we happened to be shooting that day. For this particular shoot, she wanted something industrial, but not excessively grungy. Somewhere with a backdrop that wouldn’t overtake the focus of the shoot; in this case, a Nike athleisure set. A location with clean lines and of course, good light.
Can you take a guess at where we ended up for the photos below?!
It’s probably not what you might expect: a parking garage at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Bel Mar.
(One million bonus points if you did happen to guess that.)
Sometimes, the location for your branding photos just needs to be somewhere simple, where you can show off whichever products you happen to be featuring. Like a parking garage!
I love crafting imagery for my clients in even the most nondescript, unassuming places. I’ll always love a studio setup or somewhere with murals and vibrant colors, but I also love the challenge I get out of creating interesting artwork somewhere you would never think to whip out a camera and start shooting.
Take a peek at a few of my favorites from Juli’s branding photo shoot below, and please get in touch if you’re interested in branding photos like these — I’d love to chat with you about your vision. Thank you for stopping by the blog!
