CREATIVE EXPLORATION IS PART OF THE JOB
Some of the most valuable work happens without a client brief.
No shot list. No layout. Just an idea, a subject and room to explore.
For this seafood study, Josh Blaylock and food stylist Stephanie Greenwood worked with oysters, sardines and crawfish, using texture, light, color and a loose tabletop style to let each image develop a little differently.
Sometimes personal work becomes a portfolio piece. Sometimes it sparks an idea that shows up later in commercial work.
And sometimes it simply keeps the creative process moving.
