This portfolio highlights a series of images that were shot to brand and promote two of Russell Elliot’s album releases on Spotify. The tonal red portrait was published as the cover of his single, “Holiday Party” in 2018, while the pink and white images were published as social teasers to promote the release of his single “Watermelon” that came out the following year.

These are portraits of Kickstarter’s Creators-in-Residence. The images with white backgrounds were shot as complimentary headshots that we provided as one of the many benefits of the residency program. With professional headshots, creators could market themselves and their work more effectively as their projects gained traction. The portraits with yellow and orange backgrounds were shot with a Kickstarter-branded approach as original content to promote the residents’ work on our social channels. In both cases, the goal was to convey the genuine personality - and in some cases, the creative work - of each resident.

Kickstarter is home to a staff of uniquely brilliant and creative people who have an eclectic range of interests and personalities. This portfolio celebrates exactly that. When asked to revamp Kickstarter’s team page with a new approach, I crafted a colorful, playful art direction designed to reflect the best of who we are together by celebrating who we are as individuals. Each headshot session was completely private, set with a fun, uplifting ambiance. Participants were encouraged to choose their own backdrop and bring an object to be photographed with that held some significance to them. Kickstarter-branded props were also provided.

The high resolution portrait gallery on the left illuminates the personality of each staff member with care and detail, while the mock-up on the right shows how images lived together once they were live on the team page.
