Imperfect Foods Photography Refresh

At Imperfect Foods, I led the art direction for our photo and video shoots. Imperfect Foods is an e-commerce company with a specific business model and our photography needed to communicate our products and service clearly and simply. I collaborated with our Creative Director and photographers to refresh our photo library and photo guidelines to help elevate Imperfect Foods’ brand and provide a better user experience.

I led each shoot throughout the entire process, developed the creative concept, and art directed the stylist and photographers.


 Product Photography

The Problem: The original images did not communicate clearly what the products were, so customer were confused when shopping for groceries. Customers expectations were not met, causing them to leave the service.

The Solution: I led a year-long project to update our entire product photography library. Our goals with the new photos were to clearly communicate the product (what the product is and the size of the project), clearly show any imperfections the product may have, and make the product look appetizing.

Shopping Window: Before and After


 Editorial Photography

The Problem: Before I joined Imperfect, the editorial photo library was sparse and did not capture the breadth of products Imperfect carried. Most of the photos were shot by different vendors, so there was a lack of consistency. We needed updated assets to communicate Imperfect Foods’ services, brand and mission.

The Solution: I developed a new lighting style and styling guidelines to convey Imperfect’s delightful and quirky brand in a consistent way. During each shoot, I partnered with our Site Merchandising and Marketing Departments to provide imagery that would help reach their goals. Our editorial photos are used on Imperfectfoods.com and for marketing campaigns that live across multiple channels such as social, television, email, direct mail and more.
