Lifestyle photography and video is basically your product or brand brought to life in a natural effortless yet fashionable way. It is one of the most popular kinds of photography and video used in advertising today because of it’s authenticity and relatability with potential customers. Dixie has a unique way of capturing lifestyle that she has perfected called “shooting through moments”, which translates to capturing real authentic emotion. No posing or stiff looks, only the real deal. Ultimately the lifestyle photography and video will tell your brand story is a beautifully idealistic yet realistic way from shots of your product with models to detail shots of your product or brand on location. We work with a huge range of lifestyle clients such as Nikon, Disney, Virgin, and People Magazine to name a few.
