Tradesmen Barbershop — a launch shoot that became the website
One production day at a new barbershop, planned to come out the other side as a finished website: hero films in desktop and mobile formats plus a full photo library.
- Photography
- Video Production
- Website Content
The assignment
A new barbershop in Jersey City was getting ready to open its doors — with a vintage-forward space that deserved better than phone photos and a template website. The brief was tight: one production day, and everything the website needs comes out of it.
One shoot, built backwards from the website
We planned the day the way we plan every launch shoot: starting from the deliverables. The website needed a hero film for desktop, a vertical cut for mobile, and photography for every section — so the shot list covered the space, the craft, the details, and the people, in both orientations, before a single frame was shot.
The details carry the brand
A shop like this sells atmosphere as much as haircuts. The photography leaned into it — the barber pole in the window, the antique chairs, the beard-trim precision — building a library the shop can pull from for its website, socials, and print without booking another shoot.
What one day produced
- A website hero film, delivered in desktop and vertical mobile formats — both live today at tradesmenbarbershopjc.com
- 429 frames of launch photography — space, craft, detail, and team
- A content library sized to carry the shop through its opening season
The launch did its job — and when the same owners started planning their next venture, they came back: we’re on board for their next business, launching this fall.
