In 2017 I was asked by the local Lululemon stores to collaborate on a project to highlight some of the men in the Houston area doing amazing things for the community from all walks of life. It was part of a larger movement in the company to promote their new men’s line of clothing, and I needed to make it look on-brand with their international campaign, but still make it my own. They originally got the idea from my Heroes on White project that I had been doing over the previous year beforehand, so I had the idea to shoot some portraits on a white backdrop that spoke to their personality, create a larger banner with all of the men on it, shoot a Heroes style portrait with each man, and create a little 1-3 minute spot with each of them on what it means to be “the modern day man”. We had to create each of these looks in about a 15 minute window to setup and planning was key, as was capturing a real portrait of each of them in the time allotted. Pre-production is key y’all! Check out the behind the scenes to see how we approached, set up, and captured each of these men to create the Lululemon Modern Day Man project.
