ULATAN was recently commissioned by Fleisher products in San Diego to shoot images for their up and coming website. Below is a series of photos of their core business products, initiatives and capabilities. I strongly believe I did a stellar job capturing the true nature of what Fleisher Products offers.

Client: Fleisher Products

Flow: Principal photography was conducted on site at the Fleisher production facility. Initial setup and concepts where deliberated after consulting their wonderful Operations Manager. After discussing her needs, I was able to get a feel for what to photograph and thus present to you below.

Gateway Marketing Concepts needed professional product photography for their web catalog. The photography had to be simple with no fluff or extra details needed. This was a straight forward project needed to be completed fast and effectively.

Flow: Since the photos needed to be done in a simple manner, ULATAN used two strobes with a white background. The signage provided by Gateway Marketing Concepts was then taken head on, 90 degrees with use of a tripod. Photos were then post processed to be cleaned and cropped. The final renderings for this project where given to Gateway Marketing Concepts within 1 business week.

Designs by Anne wanted professional style product photos for her jewelry and bag line for use on an up and coming web store. The photos had to be clear and crisp and show the elegance of her products. Specific needs where to showcase no shadows on a white backdrop.

Flow: ULATAN used a mix of strobist lighting diffused by umbrellas and a custom made light box for these photos. The detail was a challenge however. Due to the scale and sizing of the pieces and optimization for web use, I found it particularly difficult to display fine detail in some shots. To alleviate that problem, more focused elements of the products where snapped. This proved to expose the detail needed as provided in each piece. Overall, ULATAN believes these photos display an accurate and glamorous portrayal of the clients products.
