THE PROCESS
PLANNING
Together, we'll immerse ourselves in a brainstorming session that encapsulates the essence of your brand. We'll make wardrobe selections that align with your brand and style of the shoot. Additionally, Lev will take the reins in scouting locations that resonate with the story you want to tell. Our team will handle all the logistics, from booking a talented makeup and hair artist to sourcing a lighting design that adds depth and character to your images.
THE SHOOT
From the intricate setup of lighting equipment to the precise positioning of camera angles, no detail is overlooked. Lev will orchestrate each shot selecting the optimal lenses and settings to capture the best moments. He’ll explore innovative approaches, experiment with different poses and perspectives, and adapt on the fly to ensure you receive a great final product. Whether we're capturing the subtle interplay of light and shadow or the vibrant colors of your brand palette, every shot has purpose and artistry.
POST PRODUCTION
After the shoot, it's time for the magic to continue in post-production! Every image you select gets fine-tuned and retouched, making sure they exude the vibrancy and professionalism your brand commands. Once we've polished everything to perfection, Lev will deliver the finished images in the format that suits your needs, ready for all your marketing channels. With our collaboration, we'll create images that resonate deeply with your target audience and speak volumes about your brand.
CASE STUDIES
THE ASK: The firm wanted new company-wide headshots that relayed the message of “powerful leaders in personal injury law for construction site related injuries”. Also needed environmental portraits for advertising and billboards.
THE EXECUTION: Lev photographed Joseph Oresky, founder/owner, and his office manager Lucia, at a Brooklyn construction site to relate his extraordinary track record of winning cases for injured construction workers. Lev created high-contrast, dramatic lighting to express their commitment. For the rest of the Oresky Team, Lev shot on a white background to communicate the team’s no-nonsense approach to delivering winning results for personal injury cases. Lev coached each person individually to bring out the perfect combination of warmth and confidence for the camera.
THE ASK: Brandon Wallace needed headshots and personal branding images for online publications, interviews and new content, as his company Fifth Wall continues to invest into new sustainable businesses changing the future.
THE EXECUTION: We created numerous images at his home as well as a factory with which Fifth Wall had just partnered.
THE ASK: Julianna needed headshots and personal branding images for her website, PR materials, and online publications.
THE EXECUTION: We created numerous images at a series of high end properties in NYC and NJ in order to convey the white glove service her company, Full Service Living, offers her clients.
THE ASK: New headshots that reflect IAC’S cutting edge brand, while featuring the famous IAC building. As well as a series of lifestyle photos to use in annual reports and marketing materials.
THE EXECUTION: Lev set the shoot in the IAC building’s incredible glass and steel lobby. It captures the essence of the IAC brand. However, the shoot fell on a gray day with terrible light. It was the only day the senior management team was together in one location. No problem! Lev reworked the original lighting design; and with extra equipment recreated a “sunny day with sunshine pouring through the windows”. The lifestyle images were scripted, lit, directed and executed by Lev to showcase IAC’s day-to-day company culture.
THE ASK: Eric Walton was opening his first magic show at the DR2 theater in NYC.
THE EXECUTION: Eric isn’t just a magician. He is an acclaimed actor, sleight-of-hand artist, raconteur, poet, and showman. I created a series of images that captured a sense of mystery and the showmanship of classic vaudeville.
THE ASK: It was Shane‘s first album Release. His music has a folky gritty vibe and he lives in New York City.
THE EXECUTION: Lev scouted several locations in Harlem which captured Shanes’s soulful gritty rock ‘n’ roll vibe. The makeup artist and the wardrobe stylist helped execute my vision.
