Force of Nature Meats

Overview:

Force of Nature partnered with me to elevate their visual identity and showcase updated packaging across three core product lines: Steaks, Grinds, and Breakfast Sausages. The goal was to create a cohesive, versatile image library that reflects the brand’s commitment to regenerative agriculture and pasture-raised meats.

Over two multi-day shoots, we captured 140 images in three key formats—in-pack, raw, and cooked recipes—optimized for use across e-commerce, retail platforms, social media, paid ads, and digital marketing channels.

Services:

Pre-production planning, food and prop styling, product and food photography, post-production editing and retouching

Deliverables:

  • 140 high-resolution images across 18 SKUs

  • Horizontal and vertical formats of each image

  • Delivered as a fully organized, ready-to-use asset library, for digital and print use

Approach:

To tell a cohesive visual story, we built a unique scene for each product, maintaining consistency in surfaces, props, and lighting across in-pack, raw, and cooked formats. Each set was designed to feel real and lived-in, like a customer’s own kitchen.

Aligning with Force of Nature’s brand identity, we incorporated earthy tones, natural materials, and whole food ingredients to emphasize their focus on environmental sustainability.

The client shipped product directly to my studio to shoot remotely, and I provided live previews throughout each day, enabling real-time feedback and approvals. This workflow made collaboration smooth, flexible, and efficient.
