Cove Security asked us to shoot some product and lifestyle brand photography for their home security solutions. With the pandemic putting a damper on our in-person photoshoots, we made the most of this one. It was a great opportunity to work closely with my fiancé (we’ll be married in less than a month!). Plus we got to incorporate our favorite personality into this brand photography shoot – our dog Milo!
We shot the unboxing and some product shots with a hand-painted lay-flat board I made. It just so happened that the board I had painted the week before was almost a perfect match for their logo color.
We installed the security system in our home, shooting lifestyle stills along the way. Check out some images below of our “woman with small dog feeling safe and secure thanks to Cove” lifestyle brand photography narrative. Or whatever you’d call it 🙂
We delivered a ton of images with variety in framing and composition, some with copy space, and others with variations of which products are included.
Top 5 things we learned from this Cove Security shoot:
- Our dog is really really ridiculously good looking. Follow him on Insta @chillbromilo
- Even in San Diego, we needed to supplement natural light with LEDs to create the bright daylight look that’s so popular in brand photography
- QR codes can still be scanned from photos, so be sure to edit the code slightly so no one can access the security camera!
- You will lose your mind Photoshopping walls from an older house to be blemish-free. Good enough is good enough in this case.
- My fiancé is more patient with me than I probably deserve. Thanks, babe!
Check out Cove Security, our preferred system for peace of mind.
