Lately our photo studio has worked with various clients to produce professional photography of outdoor retail products. Our subjects have ranged from camping gear, to sporting goods, to outdoor apparel.
Our photo studio has been keeping very busy this month, shooting lots of new products as well as food. In our most recent food photography shoot, we collaborated with our client to put together a stunning seafood stew dish. We styled and shot the ingredients laid out on a large cutting board prior to cooking and styling the collective dish; this start-to-finish concept was conceived by our own in-house stylist, Susan Evans.
Check out the final product – looks delicious, doesn’t it? Food photography often requires the use of chemicals and other non-edible, not so tasty, substances to create and maintain a genuinely fresh and appetizing appearance. Although decorative, beautiful, and worthy of mouth-watering – we wouldn’t recommend eating this dish!
Recently Phil and our team had the pleasure of working with Global Pathogen Solutions, the manufacturer of a revolutionary new tool that supports health and safety in emergency situations. This cutting edge tool safely removes stun-gun darts, protecting law enforcement, military, medical, and other professionals from dangerous bloodbourne pathogens. We were very excited to collaborate with Carson Linker and GPS to create informative product photography that would aid in selling this wonderful product.
We held several shoots with GPS to accomplish various shots. Some of the most exciting images to create (shown below) were the shots illustrating the light-up and glow-in-the-dark capabilities of the product.
S.A.D.: seasonal affective disorder.
All of us here at the studio are just itching to see any reminder of sunlight and summertime in these cold, dark Portland winter months. If you share our “sadness,” take a look at a stunning shot of model Starla Arnold, rocking a rad pair of shades by Spy Optic. And just like that – it almost feels like that time of year again…

As part of our portfolio building for on model apparel photography, commercial photographer, Philip Burnett, partnered with a number of local boutiques around the Portland area, one store being SameUnderNeath. We admired their sense for fashion coupled with their mission and belief fostered around being a clothing company for everyone, no matter your background or lifestyle. Along with working to unite the human race, their company is also driven by sustainability. They develop clothing for the environmentally conscience in an effort to help sustain the earth through positive business practices.
The following set of images were shot on location in a bamboo environment. Using an advertising photography approach, we felt it would be a great idea to connect the model’s surroundings to the actual materials used in the creation of the clothing, those being bamboo and cashmere.
