July 2021 and June 2022: I am excited to share my branding and marketing photo content I created for the Franklin Sports brand. This shoot covered multiple days and locations (Miami Beach and Jacksonville Beach) and featured 8 products from their Outdoor Games line.
Many of these images are used on their Amazon and e-commerce sites as well as their main website. Some are even used on the packaging for the product (see Backlash).
Scroll down to see my favorite photos by product.
Working closely with the Franklin Sports senior director of creative, Drew Gundlach, I chose two iconic beaches (Miami and Jacksonville) as the backdrop for new, fresh content for these 8 products and selected a diverse set of models for each product.

Here is the product photos in use on the Franklin website and Amazon storefront.
A huge shoutout to the Franklin Sports Creative Team including Drew Gundlach for his unwavering trust to create content for the brand remotely.
I love working alongside Zach Read as he creates the video content. We bounce ideas off each other.
Also a big thanks to my photo assistant and grip Jesse Gann from Jesse Gann Photography for all the assistance and help and trips back to the truck.
