Loading ...Straub Collaborative, Inc. 1 December 2008
Straub Collaborative is a Photography, Videography and digital post-production Studio
Straub Collaborative has grown due to its attentive approach to photographing product lines. They are most recognized by their iconic and emotive hero imagery and best known for extremely high-quality and consistent apparel, footwear and accessory imaging. Straub Collaborative’s Post Production department is the only G7® certified group in Oregon and one of few in the Pacific Northwest.
Outside of the studio Straub Collaborative works across the globe on behalf of their clients. Both on set and on location Straub’s photographers, stylists and managers frequently produce for advertising shoots, action photography and lifestyle/location imagery.
What are you up to?
We are challenging ourselves to unleash our creative energy while maintaining our organization. So far nary a fire has started! Glimpsing into our projects will provide a view of four major “types” of work we thoroughly enjoy daily, including:
Product line photography
Iconic “hero” imagery
Advertising & creative projects
Lifestyle & location
What do you do best?
Currently we are exercising our many skills for nearly innumerable clients. This skill-set creates our standard workflow, in turn enabling our group to deliver the finest end result with attention to budget, timelines and quality. Our workflow is as follows:
* Creative Concept Development
* Location & Talent Recruitment
* Art Direction, Asset Management & Quality Assurance
* Photography & Styling
* Digital Retouch, G7® Critical Color & Illustration
Why is Straub Collaborative G7® certified?
G7® standards enable Straub’s Post Production department to create press-ready images which are proven to print colors as true to the human eye as technically possible. G7 is an ISO standard derived from the GRACoL process.
What should photophiles look forward to in the upcoming months from Straub Collaborative?
I’m so glad you asked! We are currently producing multiple product line projects for 2009/2010. It is incredibly fascinating to have the opportunity to work with the very latest technical innovations, even before the press and public are aware of such breakthroughs. It’s even more rewarding to make these products shine for our clients.
Next, we’re putting together a January/February creative campaign, which will target the advertising & creative agency partners we seek. Straub is so well known for our product work that our phenomenal creative talents sometimes take second chair; no more! It will be dark, beautiful and a surprise.
Our website is undergoing a complete overhaul and will feature our new work, a fantastic design thanks to our friends at Sightworks, not to mention a little bit of information about each of the talented “collaborators” on staff.
If you could work with any client who would it be?
Sir Richard Branson of Virgin.
His entrepreneurial drive is second to none. Working with a company such as Virgin would expose Straub Collaborative to an international net of individuals and locations, not to mention send a few photographers in to space. I’m sure Sir Branson has an uncommonly precise vision for the creative applications for his brand, and working with such in-tune individuals is what enables photographers to really apply their skills.
