About the project

Alpine Outdoor Co. was launching its first technical pack line and needed imagery that could carry the story across every channel. I led the project from first concept through final delivery, shaping the visual direction and photographing the full campaign on location.

Challenge

The category is crowded with similar mountain imagery. The brand needed a look that felt earned and cinematic, while still showing the product clearly enough to sell it.

Approach

I built the direction around scale and restraint: small figures, big terrain, and product details held for close, quiet frames. Every location was scouted against the same palette, and a shot list tied each image to a specific channel before we left.

Role

I developed the concept, wrote the creative brief, art directed talent and wardrobe, photographed the campaign, and managed production and retouching through final delivery.

Impact / Usage

The campaign gave the brand a flexible asset library that supported the launch across web, paid, social, and out of home. It also helped align internal stakeholders around one visual direction before production began.
