The Do It Yourself Campaign Photo Shoot
Brooklyn Industries continues its tradition of recession-proof photography for its 2013 Spring collection, Re-Create.
Brooklyn, NY, January 30, 2013 --(PR.com)-- When Brooklyn Industries started shooting photo campaigns in 1999, they couldn’t quite justify shoots in faraway locations like Paris or the Bahamas, or even upstate New York. Luckily for the new company, the CEO and founder Lexy Funk was trained as a photographer, so she just grabbed her camera and walked outside onto the streets of Williamsburg, then much grittier and still deeply tinged with the rust of the neighborhood’s old warehouses. Thirteen years later, Brooklyn Industries still shoots this way.
Brooklyn Industries used their own Clinton Hill warehouse as the backdrop of the spring campaign photo shoot. This warehouse formerly served as the headquarters and was frequently utilized for additional shoots, mostly out of financial necessity. This localized approach and aesthetic was originally how Brooklyn Industries contributed to the community of people who lived, worked, and created in a place called Brooklyn.
These days, you’ll see any number of companies of all sizes elbowing for enough room to set up elaborate lighting at just-the-right Brooklyn locations. Perhaps soon the “trend” of Brooklyn will change phases and these companies will follow suit. Brooklyn Industries, however, is in a unique position, having long called the borough home, to be up for the challenge of remaining creative with every intention of staying. Just as the spring shoot was executed by one person, with one camera, one strobe light, at one location, the approach to the spring line is bringing original inspirations, shedding meaningless details and noise, in order to create, and re-create, something entirely new.
