Still Life Art Direction & Styling

A series of kitchen benchtops was shot to illustrate each of the Smalls recipe ingredients. The images were made to appear as if lit with morning sun to convey a sense of reality and warmth, with 70's-inspired kitchen benchtop surfaces employed to strengthen this idea.

Individual ingredients and recipes were shot more minimally, with harsh lighting — to bring in a sharp, contemporary offset to the brand's photographic styling.

Lifestyle Photography

A series of straightforward close-crops with cats and their owners were shot to reference the intimacy of these relationships.

Shot by BriAnne Wills of Girls and their Cats, an ongoing series of lifestyle imagery has been created to document real cat owners in their homes within New York City — from Lower East Side to Greenpoint. The imagery was used throughout branded content, to help bring messaging to life and as a visual counterpoint to a series of real-life Smalls product reviews.
