Art Direction for Herbal life

Shooting in the Historic Hudson studios in Hollywood, was an art director’s dream! Downstairs - I mean immediately downstairs, is the gorgeous table top prop house, the Surface Library. They have the most beautifully curated dishware, linens, glassware table tops and textures - everything you could want.

Upstairs are the spacious airy and well appointed studios. For this Herballife shoot, we inhabited the fully operational kitchen sets, and set up for table top shots nearby.

We worked very efficiently over the span of two days, beautifying all the many uses of the protein powders in the form of cake, protein balls, shakes, salad dressings and drinks.

My absolute favorite part of this shoot, was working with Yasmin Alishav, photographer, director and culinary producer extraordinaire. We got to retreat to the still set in between motion set ups and play with the beautiful props from downstairs, until the perfect composition came together, and it felt great. There is nothing like the moment when you can both see the harmony that comes from moving items a little further apart, or removing something completely.

The final images are so bright and full of life!
