CASE STUDY

OpenCase

Commercial work for:

OpenCase

I’ve done several sessions for this awesome startup tech company, and their growth correlates to their improved visuals since their early Kickstarter campaign days. For these projects, I work directly with the owners, and usually a project manager or social media manager. The team creates a shot list based on new products to be released or special promos like holidays or new phone releases. The results have been evident in the major success of OpenCase in the past couple of years, and in 2025 their sales doubled!

Key components of a session with OpenCase include the use of models and specifically their hands, lots of diversity, inclusivity, and the use of bold, true color to showcase the cases and accessories in the best way possible.

Goal #2

Professional Visuals

Create eye-catching images of the cases and accessories that capture the essence of the brand and the motivation behind it; generate clean, colorful images and videos that show off the products

Together with the client and the project manager a shot list was created for each session, listing out each individual product that needed assets. Usually a separate shot list was created for both photo and video to help with organization and to make sure items didn’t get missed. A planning call usually happened a week or two prior to the session and goals were outlined so everyone was on the same page.

A large piece of the puzzle for OpenCase is models (both full person and hands). Each model was provided with a suggested clothing list and instructed to come with clean nails. The project manager created a spreadsheet to keep the models, locations, and scheduling organized. I often assisted in securing models, locations, and sourcing props.

The Results!!
