Overview:

A local car wash specializing in full-service luxury car detailing approached us with the desire to set themselves apart from their competitors through striking imagery.

During discussions with the owner, we learned about their sleek and modern car wash and their aspiration to convey a cooler atmosphere through visuals. Conducting thorough research, we observed that most local car washes were relying on unprofessional customer iPhone images, presenting an opportunity to stand out. By incorporating Lifestyle photography into the project, we aimed to elevate their brand above the competition. Following the photoshoot, the client experienced a noticeable increase in online traffic to their website, along with improved visibility on platforms like Google and Yelp.

The high-quality images not only enhanced their web presence but also provided valuable social media content and marketing collateral for future promotions, reinforcing their position as a top-tier car wash in the region.

Overview:

In 2020, our video production company had the privilege of collaborating with JS Technology Group, a small business offering a diverse range of managed IT services, physical IT security installations, and other intricate solutions. Despite their thriving business, they faced a challenge: their online presence lacked a professional touch, limiting their ability to attract sophisticated New York business owners with substantial annual revenues.

Challenges:

JS Technology Group sought to overcome the challenge of presenting their array of complex services in a simplified manner that potential clients could easily understand. They needed a visually engaging website that could effectively showcase their capabilities and demonstrate the significant value they bring to high-end clientele.

Solution:

Our team devised a comprehensive solution to address JS Technology Group’s unique needs. We conceptualized and developed a brand page website that projected the company in a professional light while simplifying the presentation of their diverse services for easy comprehension. The website thoughtfully highlighted their expert team, showcased their past projects, and conveyed their unique offerings, creating a compelling narrative to attract their desired clientele.

To cater to high-profile clients, we meticulously crafted an architectural portfolio, elegantly presenting case studies, objectives, and outcomes of past projects. This approach instilled confidence in potential clients, showcasing JS Technology Group’s ability to meet the high standards of sophisticated New York business owners.

Architectural Photography

We aimed to create case studies of their past projects and present them in the best possible light. We noticed that most Managed IT service providers had a very corporate look and feel, which didn’t exude a high-end image. To counter this, we decided to shoot their past projects in an architectural photography style that gave them a prestigious look and feel. The result was a set of visually stunning case studies that showcased their work in a professional and impressive way.

Lifestyle Photography

Our objective was to elevate our client’s online presence through captivating imagery. We conducted on-site photography sessions at their active job sites, skillfully capturing professional photos of their team at work. The resulting array of media served as versatile digital assets, ideal for social media posts, marketing collaterals, and personalized project case studies. These engaging visuals not only enhanced their brand image but also personalized their projects, creating a compelling and authentic narrative that resonated with their target audience. Our collaboration proved successful, providing our client with a valuable set of high-quality images that amplified their online impact and strengthened their brand identity.

Portrait Photography

Our approach was to capture professional, modern, sleek, and cool portraits of our client’s team, transforming their image from IT nerds to stylish fashion models. By taking a whole different approach, we aimed to give them a youthful, savvy, and confident New Yorker tech entrepreneur feel. The resulting portraits reflected a fresh and dynamic persona, elevating their online presence and creating an impactful impression on their audience. Our unique photography style successfully conveyed the team’s vibrancy and professionalism, setting them apart in the competitive tech industry.

Video Production: Brand Message Video

our task was to create a one-minute brand message video for the client, showcasing their identity, services, and problem-solving capabilities. We efficiently captured footage at past and active job sites, ensuring a seamless blend of visuals without interrupting ongoing work. The result was a compelling video that effectively communicated the client’s offerings and left a lasting impression on viewers, empowering them to connect with their audience and attract new clientele.

Video Production: Social Media Content

On a separate production day, we visited the client’s showroom for an unscripted social media content shoot. With minimal preparation, we provided coaching to help the client look and sound their best on camera. Strategically covering talking points and questions, the client offered unique industry insights, creating engaging content that answered FAQs and established their authority. The high-quality content enhanced their online presence and potential for brand sponsorships, expanding their reach on social media.

Video Production: Social Media Content

We conducted a one-minute demo video shoot for our client’s Smart Home Service at their model showroom. The video showcased the remarkable transformation of the entire apartment into a seamlessly digitized space, with remote control capabilities and no visible cables or electronics. The primary goal of this video was to visually demonstrate the full potential of their service to potential clients, offering a compelling glimpse of the cutting-edge technology they could experience in their own homes.

Overview:

Enzo Custom was a specialized store that focused on creating custom men’s suits of exceptional quality at an amazing price. The client approached us to develop content for their upcoming men’s suit line and apparel products. This involved capturing white background photos for e-commerce, studio photos featuring influential models, and lifestyle content showcasing their business environment. Our goal was to demonstrate the daily operations, customer interactions, and highlight the expertise of their employees to emphasize that Enzo Custom was more than just a regular suit shop—it was an experience.

For several months, we worked closely with Enzo Custom, visiting their showroom weekly to document the sales process with different customers. We recorded the interactions, ensuring we captured every detail of the process. Our purpose was to provide potential customers a glimpse of the personalized experience they could expect, the knowledge and attention to detail exhibited by the staff, and how they truly valued each customer’s unique story to deliver exceptional results.

The result of our collaboration was an extensive supply of photo and video content for their 2018 summer collection. Enzo Custom utilized this content to raise brand awareness, build trust, and establish credibility with consumers by offering them an authentic behind-the-scenes look at what they could anticipate.

Location Photography

To truly showcase the Enzo experience, we opted for an authentic approach: featuring real customers who visited the store to purchase custom suits, completely unscripted. We made several visits to the showroom, ensuring we captured a variety of shots that truly reflected the genuine interactions and experiences of these customers.

Video Production

During our video production sessions, our main objective was to capture the complete process from start to finish. We strived for an unscripted and authentic feel, providing subtle guidance rather than rigid directions. In addition to creating the Enzo experience videos, we worked closely with the staff to film additional content, including informative Q&A sessions, behind-the-scenes footage highlighting the process, promotional materials, and more. Our goal was to generate a substantial amount of content during our collaboration, enabling Enzo Custom to effectively leverage it across social media platforms.

Video Production: Testimonials + Business Experience Videos

Our testimonial customer experience video production service creates authentic and engaging videos showcasing the unique perspectives and voices of satisfied customers. By sharing these videos on their website and social media channels, Enzo Custom established themselves as a trusted and reputable brand in the industry.

Video Production: Customer Experience Videos

Customer experience videos are an excellent way to showcase your business’s unique process and prepare customers for what to expect. By visualizing themselves engaging with your business as a satisfied customer, they can better understand and appreciate your products or services. Additionally, creating a level of transparency and social proof can be achieved by leveraging recognizable people, such as influencers.

Video Production: Meet the Team + What to Expect Videos

Meet the team experience videos are a great way to familiarize people with your staff and create a closer connection. Sharing how the process looks and what they could expect creates a layer of transparency and answers many people’s questions. These videos provide a personal touch and help build relationships between the viewer and the company.

Video Production: Frequently Asked Questions / FAQ Videos

Creating FAQ videos is an effective way to scale your business and save time and costs from having your employees constantly repeating the same information over the phone. Additionally, it is a great way to create content for social media and personalize your business to answer all of your potential customers’ questions.

White Background Photography

We conducted dedicated studio sessions with professional models to showcase the new Enzo summer collection against a pristine white background. These meticulously captured images were purposefully crafted for Enzo’s ecommerce website, offering potential customers the convenience of examining each outfit’s intricate details. By prominently featuring these thoughtfully curated images on the website’s pages, we provided visitors with a clear and focused view of the clothing and fabric materials. Our aim was to empower potential customers to immerse themselves in the imagery, enabling them to appreciate the nuanced elements and textures of every garment in exquisite detail.

Lifestyle Photography

On separate dates, we took the opportunity to photograph the models at the iconic New York City Highline. This location offered a diverse range of modern and urban backdrops in close proximity, bathed in beautiful natural lighting. By utilizing this dynamic setting, we were able to capture captivating images that seamlessly blended the models with the vibrant atmosphere of the Highline.

Commercial Photography

During an exciting project, we were granted a quick production shoot at The Skylark, a premier NYC rooftop lounge. However, we had to face two significant challenges: shooting in the early morning and having a strict time limit of just 2 hours. Despite the obstacles, we were determined to capture the breathtaking view of the NYC skyline. With innovation and creativity, I strategically placed a remote flash speedlite directly in front of the talent, set to its maximum power, and adjusted the exposure settings to their lowest point. All the images were captured in RAW mode, allowing for proper exposure of the background while keeping the talent illuminated from the front. The post-processing phase revealed all the intricate details initially hidden in the dark images. In the end, we successfully overcame the exposure challenge and achieved our desired results, capturing both the captivating skyline and the talent with clarity and precision.

Post Production

The majority of the content we produced for this project was spontaneous and unscripted, often captured on the go. However, this approach necessitated extensive post-production efforts. We dedicated considerable time to editing, which involved tasks such as removing wrinkles, blemishes, and addressing issues like blown-out shiny skin. Additionally, we meticulously sifted through hours of footage, meticulously selecting and refining the best moments. The final result, encompassing both the photos and videos, required a significant amount of work behind the scenes to ensure the quality and visual appeal you see today.

Brand Identity Design

During a facilitated Discovery session, our client expressed their vision for a minimalistic brand identity with a sophisticated and fashion-forward aesthetic. They desired a creamy beige color palette to exude elegance and appeal to mature European females. Understanding these preferences, we embarked on a creative journey to develop a brand identity that encapsulated their desired style, creating a visually compelling and appealing presence tailored to their target audience.

Lifestyle Workplace Photography

we had the opportunity to visit our client’s office and capture engaging lifestyle workplace photography. These images served a dual purpose: to showcase the interior ambiance and to highlight the range of services offered. Primarily intended for Google Maps, these visuals provided potential customers with a glimpse of what to expect, establishing a professional presence for our client’s business. Additionally, these assets proved invaluable for enhancing the website, creating a visually appealing and immersive online experience for visitors.

Web Design

Our web design project concluded with the creation of a beautifully organized website that exudes elegance and beauty. The website effectively showcases our client’s non-surgical beauty procedures using striking stock images featuring models. We enhanced user experience by including dedicated landing pages for each service, offering in-depth information and addressing common questions. The addition of a user-friendly appointment scheduling form streamlines the process for potential clients. The result is a visually captivating and informative website that informs viewers about the procedures and encourages them to take the next step and schedule an appointment.
