GLOBAL ADVERTISING PHOTOGRAPHY Dec 2021

"The holiday season has begun, but this doesn't mean just great food and family, but finishing the year strong and starting 2022 with a great marketing plan in place."

Now more than ever, new food and drink content still needs to be created. Something that will tell a story and capture the appetite appeal of the product. Photographer and director Brent Herrig can help. Based in New York and London, Brent supports in-house and agency clients to achieve stress-free productions that hit the brief.

"We are excited to work with you and your team as soon as next week or next quarter. Either way, let's all push forward and make tomorrow together.

We are still encouraging everyone to take full advantage of the safe photoshoot set protocol that we have in place. This gives everyone the option to be safe while still producing great new content."

Some of Brent's recent clients, including Nespresso, Pepsi, and Chandon rely on Brent to capture their vision of food, drinks, and products in the most collaborative, efficient way possible.

"Featured in this Spotlight: 'Keep Living the Small Business Dream - Arnold Worldwide for Progressive Insurance'. A shoot so smooth and so fun – was it all a dream?

Working with Arnold Worldwide to show how Progressive Small Business Insurance gives wings to small business dreams was plainly, as good as it gets. As a small business owner myself, it was natural to concept around that “what if…?” and having the freedom and possibility of acting on your dreams, secure in knowing you are protected as you bring that kernel to life.

We created dream-like moments for the small business characters to inhabit. We created somewhat surreal elements as a dreamlike nod, and infused the images with the positive and transformational mood of feeling free to live one’s dream. Using color and lighting and the array of post- production tools available, we made images to spark imagination, and touch the fantastic while still pulling viewers in to see themselves as the dreamers.

We all benefit when we are free to dream and deliver. To be able to capture the concept of wildest dreams in service of uplifting small businesses was a real treat.

I’m grateful for the partnership with Arnold Worldwide, Progressive Insurance and long-time creative partner Fedde Souverein at Luminous Creative Imaging."
