Shooting The Elephant Pants: A Clothing Campaign With Heart

Some brands are easy to say yes to. The Elephant Temple is one of them, a clothing company that gives 10% of every purchase to the Elephant Conservation Center in Sayaboury, Laos, and asked me to style, photograph, and edit their campaign.

Styling a campaign with purpose

I handled every part of this one, styling, photography, and the final edit, working with models Julia Petruch, Angela Jones, and Anya Shulman to bring The Elephant Pants to life in front of the camera. Their signature print pants are as fun to shoot as they are to wear, bold patterns that photograph best with movement and personality, so that’s exactly what we leaned into. It’s the kind of full-circle project I love: creative control from concept to final image, for a brand whose mission actually matters to me.

A brand built around giving back

Knowing that every piece we shot helps fund elephant conservation made this campaign feel like more than product photography, it was a chance to help tell the story of a company doing real good, one pair of pants at a time.

If you’re a brand with a mission worth photographing, I’d love to help you tell that story too.
