Handmade Wood Frames & Race Displays: Product Photography for Podium Woodcraft
I recently had the pleasure of working with Podium Woodcraft, a small business based here in Michigan that creates beautiful, handmade wooden frames designed for displaying race bibs, medals, and photos from marathons, triathlons, cycling events, and more. Owned and operated by a U.S. veteran and master wood craftsman, Podium Woodcraft is known for its commitment to quality, attention to detail, and passion for helping athletes commemorate their achievements.
When the owner of Podium Woodcraft reached out for professional product photography, I knew this project would be an exciting one. These products are more than just display pieces; they’re works of art that celebrate personal milestones. Capturing their craftsmanship and functionality was my top priority.
Bringing the Vision to Life
The goal for this shoot was to highlight the intricate details and premium quality of Podium Woodcraft’s frames while showcasing their practical features. These frames are designed not only to display bibs and medals but also to preserve memories in a meaningful way. The latest addition to their product line combines all of these features into a single display, making it perfect for athletes looking for an elegant way to showcase their hard-earned achievements.
I worked closely with the owner to ensure the images aligned with his brand’s aesthetic. Clean and minimalistic setups were key to keeping the focus on the wood’s natural grain, the precision of the craftsmanship, and the seamless integration of medal hangers, hanging wires and custom engraving. These details not only highlight the product’s functionality but also reflect the brand’s unwavering commitment to quality. Using professional studio lighting, I emphasized the warmth of the wood tones and the fine details that set these products apart.
A Personalized Approach
Each project I take on is unique, and this one was no exception. Before the shoot, I spent time understanding the story behind Podium Woodcraft and the significance of their products. This insight allowed me to create images that not only look great but also resonate with the brand’s mission and target audience.
From different angles and close-ups of the wood grain to shots showcasing the frames in use, the final images were designed to give potential customers a comprehensive look at what makes these products so special.
