Spirited portraits for team Bacardi

We typically photograph bottles and cocktails, but when we had the opportunity to photograph portraits of the Bacardi team at Team Enterprises, we couldn’t resist.

This assignment was three-fold. First, the team is often featured side by side in brand decks and needed headshots that appear consistent when placed next to one another. They also sought colorful portraits that showcase their unique personalities. Lastly, they requested both a duo and a trio shot.

Armed with the women’s favorite colors, activities, personality traits and mood boards, we designed unique sets to bring their personalities to life.

We also captured a series of group shots in a dark, film noir style. The team was photographed separately and composited together, which also yielded individual portraits of each.

Whenever people are the subject, we bring in a team for hair, makeup and wardrobe. It’s enough work to worry about appearing natural in front of the camera, and nothing’s worse than finding out that something was out of place in the final images! Having a team to manage these details puts the talent at ease, which delivers the best result.
