Black and White

Starrett Artists was commissioned to produce a wide variety of black and white photography for HNTB’s proposal to Sound Transit. The scope of our work included portraits, editorial, and marquee images.

Using a consistent lighting theme we started with portrait work providing specific cropping and framing so that HNTB’s graphic team had the exact type of images they needed for laying out their extensive proposal.

Working closely with HNTB’s Lisa Harrison, was a fun and creative experience. Having some roots in the Seattle added to the excitement as we documented potential routes and stops for this massive extension to Seattle’s growing infrastructure.

The wild and challenging landscape of the area, the density of city, the waterways all make a project like this a multidimensional puzzle that requires immense planning and engineering expertise. To work for a few days among these professionals was a humbling and eye opening experience. We were very happy when they landed the contract.

Outreach

HNTB made sure to keep it’s promise to help educate young aspiring engineer’s with it’s education outreach programs. Another reason why they were a perfect fit for this project.

LIFELINE FARM

Victor, Montana

Lifeline Farm had an old and outdated website. They came to us to help them design a brand new site that showcases the superior gourmet products that their dairy makes. We already LOVED Lifeline’s products, which made the work we did for them even more fun. Using still photography, portraits, editorial photography , and video we transformed their online identity into a clean and dynamic place where people can learn about what they do.

lackfoot Pathways: Sculpture in the Wild International Sculpture Park celebrates the rich environmental, industrial and cultural heritage of the Blackfoot Valley. Sculptors have been invited to create significant site-specific works of art using the materials – natural and industrial – that are associated with the community’s economic and cultural traditions.

Since its creation we have continually documented and produced sign materials for Blackfoot Pathways: Sculpture in the Wild, in Lincoln Montana.  It is a International Sculpture park with world renown artists and a educational art program for the greater community. We have created several commissioned film pieces, original photography, and graphic designed promotional signs for the park.

Martha Piersma

We were commissioned by Martha Piersma to do a portrait photography session for her. She had recently closed her studio location and was changing her business model to focus more on workshops and traveling master classes. Armed with new images for promotion she started thinking about creating a new website and came to us for help. Together we worked to create a responsive website that would fit her needs.
