New Ventures in Commercial Photography


We are always game to try a little something new in photography, so when Kyle approached us about shooting a product gig for FLIR, we jumped at the opportunity! This was one of our first experiences using a studio set up and we had a great time experimenting with lighting techniques and creating dramatic images from static objects. Our "studio" was simple: a large open room at our church, some seamless white paper, some continuous lighting and voila! We were set for photo magic. One of the trickier aspects of this shoot was photographing the reflective surfaces of the lenses and making sure we didn't have any unexpected portraits of the crew. With a little tinkering and trial with this new studio endeavor, we produced some great images that we, and FLIR are very happy with! In an effort to respect the classified nature of the products we shot for FLIR, we can only share a few pictures. Hope you enjoy!





So what's next for us? With spring and summer on the way we are working hard to be ready for our busy season. Our location here in the Pacific Northwest makes for lots of rainy days, which aren't always ideal for snapping photos. However, we are really making the most of this drizzly time, currently working on a new website, launching a Twitter account and preparing for our upcoming commercial photo shoots with Bridge City Baking and Pure Bliss Baking. Yum...I can hardly wait!
