Fostech 2018

Had the chance to work with Fostech Inc. again this year on their yearly catalog creating some badass images – went a little bigger this year than last, and I’m very pleased with how the results have turned out…

This year we had access to an empty warehouse with some really interesting piping fixtures and industrial looks that we utilized to bring some of the images and scenes to life, which also meant setting off significant amounts of smoke bombs inside… I feel bad that the new tenants will have a lingering sulfur smell, but also not really because it made for some amazing images.

This year I wanted to stretch my legs and dive a little more into some composite work, so I modeled a few of these off of some Call of Duty style images and was pleasantly surprised with how they turned out! Definitely want to work more on these and learn as much as I can about making these as seamless and perfect as possible…

Ended up having a few of my friends come down from Indy to help with this shoot, and I couldn’t have done it without the direction from my Marine friend Nich, my coworker Andrew, and Shane for providing the badass Jeep below…

Last but, definitely not least, the main selling images for all of their products…

We’re going to go bigger next year…
