Typically, the marketing team would compose luminaires onto existing background (photos).
On occasion, it was far more advantageous to incorporate products into a fully modeled 3d scene and render.
Software: 3ds Max, Adobe Suite, Vray.
River Green
West 2nd
Vancouver, BC
Occasionally, I am tasked with large-scale developments that necessitate exterior renderings. Early communication with architects is vital to ensure a timely completion of the project. Best practices obtain approvals for all camera angles, time of day and year, as well as native trees, among other factors.

Intrawest Play Ground
I believe this was our first project that included snow. Tempting as it was I could not just apply white to exposed surfaces/polygons. This required additional modeling and a fundamental attention to natural forces, wind, gravity and temperature.

Hard Rock Hotel
San Diego, CA
Led by the architectural team Graham Downes Architecture, I was contracted to provide a marketing video and renderings for the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego. This contract was not typical, the team at GDA set expectations 'sexy and liberal', the visuals 'fast and engaging'. Pulling from their colour schemes and sample boards I managed to amass a cohesive visual stream leaving no doubt to brand.

Kuzco Ligting
Typically, most of Kuzco's lights were photographed for catalogues. Occasionally prototypes were either delayed with arrival or not on hand, leaving the marketing team without photos. In the effort to deliver the quarterly catalogue in a timely fashion the graphic team reached out for 3D renderings.
