Commercial Pet Brand Photography Portfolio: Brand Building for the dooloop
Project “Brand Building” for the dooloop
The dooloop is a magical leash accessory that attaches to any leash and carries your dog’s full poop bag so you don’t have to. (It’s one of those products that makes you wonder how you lived your entire life without it.) It was my first commercial shoot entirely full of, and focused on, poop!
The dooloop needed to be brought to light for this brand. The photos needed to convey a sense of elegance and function for the everyday pet parent without conveying a sense of “disgust,” because, well… poop.
Most of the time commercial clients are very hands-on throughout the entire project, but the dooloop owner gave me free reign to unleash my Westway creative genius. It’s quite a thrill to be entrusted with someone’s masterpiece in its entirety — especially as a first-time client!
HOW WESTWAY WENT WILD FOR THE DOOLOOP
> Put out a model casting call though direct email and social channels
> Scouted locations
> Bought collars and leashes for the dog models
> Shot photography at a single location
FINAL RESULTS
All the little details — the collars and leashes, and the amazing sparkle light we got during this shoot, really bought this product’s imagery full circle. I still shriek with excitement when I come across some of my shots for this brand being used in articles that highlight amazing pet products, like this holiday gift guide from dailymom.com.
“Terran was a dream to work with; organized and responsive, she made sure that she understood my goal for the shoot and I leaned on her experience doing commercial work. Terran’s magic is that she was able to capture a dooloop, which carries bags of poop, in romantic, aspirational images. Her connection to her subjects is undeniable and the results speak for themselves. It’s great when someone as talented as Terran is also a joy and fun to work with, I hope to be able to work together again in the future.”
