Don’t be blue…
Just wanted to give a special ‘Thank You’ to the crew at susanjablon.com for coming through for us in a pinch. We recently had a photo shoot for a client who was requesting a specific blue tile for a print ad on a tight deadline. We searched over a dozen stores locally to no avail, so naturally a little online shopping was due. We found their site and the tile, gave them a shout, and they had it packed and out the door immediately. What’s the big deal you ask? Our call was placed on a Friday just 30 minutes before the shipping cut-off for next day air delivery. Meaning they had to process our order, accept payment, pull and package the product, and label for shipping……in less than 30 minutes. We love businesses...
It’s a Stick Up!!!
Just received a bunch of stickers from Stickers That Stick . Great company: fast, affordable, and fantaSTICK products. From digital to screen print, die cuts to transfers, they gotcha covered.
We have a TON – come and get ‘em!
Black Label’s Believe it or Not!
Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday season! Welcome to 2012, it’s gonna be a winner.
And speaking of winners, check out the Sam’s Club deli below. The wall in the back with the counter isn’t really a deli, but rather a large scale banner printed by the good people at The Roark Group. Sam’s Club wanted to illustrate where a new deli would be while it was under construction versus having a boarded off construction zone. We were hired to photograph the interior of an existing deli, which was then printed and hung as an attractive way to communicate what was ‘coming soon’. Great job guys!
Small Business Saturday (…and beyond!)
As a small business, we try to be conscious of where our money goes, not only as a business but as individuals, on a daily business. That said, we’re excited about the Small Business Saturday movement. Celebrated the Saturday after Black Friday, shoppers are encouraged to visit small, local, brick and mortar businesses. It is our hope that shoppers continue to patronize small businesses EVERY day of the year!
Here are some of our fav’s in the Northwest Arkansas region (yes, we love coffee):
Eco-tography
We shoot a ton of product photography at Black Label, and while we think it’s all grand, every once and a while something REALLY cool comes through the door. Last week we were hired to shoot some packaging photography for a product called ReSleeve from ReBinder out of Seattle, WA. ReSleeve is a 100% recycled cardboard CD/DVD sleeve, which is a nice alternative to flimsy paper or cracked plastic. As always, we research the product and company before shooting, just to wrap our minds around their brand etc. and quickly found out just how cool ReBinder is. They offer a full array of 100% recycled...
BLCP hearts Hasselblad
At Black Label Commercial Photography, we use Hasselblad digital cameras for our higher end print work. They are easy to use, comfortable to hold, and of course provide stunning files. And now (unfortunately) we can attest that their service department is just as superb as their gear. Recently we had a digital back get a little crazy on us, so we sent it on a flight across the Atlantic for repair. The fine folks at Hasselblad have been quick to return calls, have kept us notified every step of the way, and answered any questions we’ve had. In a time where customer service takes a back seat more times than not, we are more than pleased to give credit where credit is due!
Looking back…
Around this time last year we were producing packaging photography of costumes for Halloween 2011. Hundreds of them. Which meant tons of kids, snacks, drinks, and a whole lot of semi organized chaos FUN! To all who were involved, from stylists and talent to the parents and our client…payday is here as the final products hit the shelves. We hope you enjoy!
Good Bye ol’ friend…
The problem with collecting pinball machines is that you never have enough room. Add a new game or two and suddenly you realize just how little room you have left. We looked around and decided it was time to thin the herd a bit, so sadly we’re sending off our beloved Firepower to a new loving home. Pictured in our lobby right before we loaded it up, this Firepower has been around here for a few years. Our staff and clients a like have racked up many, many, many hours behind this one. A true classic 80′s pin, and a staple in any serious collection. We’re gonna...
Surfing with some Soul
We recently photographed a bunch of Cott Beverage products which feature their new packaging design. Above are a few samples. The new design highlights the fruit elements of each flavor, which adds a nice pop of color.
The can in this print piece, which ran in conjunction with the release of SonyPicutures Soul Surfer Blu-Ray, is one of our product photos from the assignment. The can was photographed...
Welcome to our remodel!
Welcome you to our newly redesigned website. Come on in, kick off your shoes and make yourself at home. Like your favorite cheap roadside inn, we hope you’ll find your visit both enjoyable and interesting at the same time!
Our purpose in the redesign was naturally to show off our many talents in a user-friendly manner, but also to give those who haven’t experienced the Black Label difference a glimpse into our world (scary, right?). Complete with free HBO and a microwave, we hope enjoy your stay!
