Pickup Music Portfolio

 
 

Home Depot | Husky Tool Chest

I was the Director of Photography on this project where we had a gaffer, grip, stylist, stylist assistant, and a producer. The client was Home Depot/Husky tools, for the production company Pirrello Digital Imaging. Here you can see the clean and clear presentation on the product shot on a garage set that was built for this and other product shoots. The Tool chests and all their features are prominently framed, lit, and are the central focus of the video. In this video you can see an example if high key lighting that is similar to the style that you have established in the Pickup Music videos that are on your site right now.


Mission Federal Credit Union | Recruitment Campaign

I shot this project as the Director of Photography where we had a crew comprised of a second camera operator, gaffer, grip, stills photographer, make-up artist, producer, and PA. The client was Mission Federal Credit Union for the Ad agency Michael Walters through the production company October.tv. Here you can see the framing and lighting used to shoot people talking directly to camera, as is similar to the style in which the Pickup Music videos have been shot. Again the clear and direct way that the subject is framed and lit focus the viewers attention while the background falls off out of focus while establishing a time and place and grounding the subject in the environment. This was shot on location in the Mission Fed corporate offices.


Capital One Cafe | Financial Literacy Live Streams

On this project I was the Director of Photography, and also took these stills as photographer as well, for Capital One Cafe through the agency 160/90 and the production company Suite Spot. There were 2 other camera operators, a gaffer, 3 grips, an AC, 2 PAs, a director, technical director, 2 hair and Make up artists, a teleprompter operator, and several producers on each iteration of this project over the course of 4 different shoots. This was shot on location at 2 different Capital One Cafe’s, one in Chicago and one in Santa Monica. On this project we had to work within the limitations of the location and the live stream broadcast while working with high profile athletes, actors, and writers while maintaining a consistent look and staying true to all of the brand guidelines that came with working with a large corporation.


Amgen | Recruitment Campaign

On this project I was the Photographer and part of a larger crew that involved a Director of Photography, 2 camera operators, a gaffer, 2 producers, and a director for the Agency Radancy and the production company October.tv. Shot on location at the Amgen facility in Columbus, OH this is an example of portrait photography that uses the location to ground each subject in the space that they work and helps tell the story of what it is like to work for Amgen


Home Depot | EcoSmart Lightbulbs

I was the Director of Photography on this project where we had a gaffer, grip, stylist, stylist assistant, and a producer. The client was Home Depot/ Husky tools, for the production company Pirrello Digital Imaging. Here is another example of a shoot that was done on sets that were built for this project. With soft and natural lighting and clear composition the viewer can clearly see the product as well as how to use it.
