The Potthouse Collective

The Potthouse Collective approached me because they wanted to update their visual identity. They aimed to reflect the personality of the potters and studio through lively imagery while maintaining a cohesive look.

They referenced another shoot I had previously done, so I used that as a starting point. I then offered them a choice of several photographic styles that highlighted different aspects of their personality. They opted for a simple backdrop, natural light, and close-up lifestyle shots that captured the studio environment and their work.

We focused on a series of images that genuinely tell the story of The Potthouse Collective and the people behind it. We kept the shoot relaxed and enjoyable to encourage authentic emotions and strengthen the bond between Zoe, Amy, and Tanya. We highlighted the unique features of the space and the texture of pottery. It’s a very tactile vocation, after all!
