District & District Made


Photo shoot concept and art direction for District and District Made, two segments of SanMar’s b2b apparel brand. We focused on youthful ness and play, with bright colors and practical hand-built sets to capture in camera. Evolved over the course of four seasons, we handled all aspects of visual creation from casting to set design, wardrobe and hmu, location scouting, producing, selecting photographers and crews, and directing talent. 

All photography shot in Seattle, WA. Talent casting in Los Angeles, CA. All sets are practical and built on location, captured in camera.
