Hudson Group

I’m a meticulous planner by nature, and love nothing more than getting a creative brief from a client (no matter however brief - har, har) then digging deep, designing a photo shoot around it. But sometimes we creative professionals don’t have the luxury of time and have to hit the ground running.

That happened just before the holidays when I was packing for a four-day cookbook shoot, and got a message from Hudson Group about scheduling a packaging shoot they needed for a presentation the following week. I immediately booked an additional day in the same studio, hired terrific, experienced food and prop stylists, and scheduled a Zoom call with everyone to make sure we were all on the same page for the styling, lighting and angles of each shot, then everyone got to work! There’s nothing like working with professionals who know their stuff.

The shoot day couldn’t have gone better, and I was able to turn around the processed images within a day to meet my client’s deadline, and I hear their presentation and the photos were well received! I’m grateful to all of my clients over the years who’ve gotten me to the point that this kind of thing is no sweat to pull together, and extra-grateful to creative team members who help to make it look so easy.

Thinking about a product or packaging photo shoot in the near — or not-so-near — future? Give me a shout, and let’s see what we can put together!
