Right Where We Want to Be: Commercial Athlete Photography

Just when we were about to give up on ever putting another minute into SEO, we landed one of our favorite projects to-date and they found us through a Google image search of commercial athlete photography.  We would say most of our new clients are word-of-mouth referrals or direct networking.  We had all but given up on SEO and we never thought we’d land a dream gig from a Google image search.

Photograph Teen Athletes for BODYARMOR SPORTS Drink

Creative Brief:

Studio portraits of teen athletes that represent post activity grit, edge, intensity, and prowess. Athletes that take their sport seriously.

Image will be waist up on black seamless or textured backdrop.  Secondary image of each athlete drinking BODYARMOR.

This was a big shoot on a tight timeline. So we quickly built a team, ordered and gathered props and uniforms, and set the stage for what would be a great shoot.

Back in 2016, we wrote a blog about our dream client. We may not have listed BODYARMOR in that blog, but we should have!
