Tabletop Director and Photographer
Directing tabletop video and motion for beverage campaigns
Direction for Tabletop, Motion, and Pour.
Tabletop direction that ships with the stills campaign, not as a separate engagement, from directed Ketel One pours to Chandon champagne sequences. Shot design, lighting direction, and talent choreography built so motion and stills read as one coherent brand moment across every channel they land in.
Specialties
-
Tabletop Video Direction
- Shot design, lighting direction, and camera coordination for tabletop video. Motion and stills produced from the same rig and lighting setup so the campaign assets feel like one coherent body of work. Direction covers angle, timing, talent choreography, and post references from the same brief.
-
Food and Beverage Motion
- Directed motion for food and drink campaigns. Pour sequences, action frames, product reveals, and lifestyle setups built to agency and brand specifications. Both hands-on direction with a dedicated DP and combined still-and-motion production handled in a single build.
-
Pour and Action Sequences
- Choreographed pour, drop, and splash sequences directed on set and captured frame-by-frame or in continuous motion. Stills and video variants captured from the same sequence so both asset types are production-matched and can run as a coordinated campaign set.
-
Integrated Stills and Motion Campaigns
- Campaigns where stills and motion are designed together from the brief stage, not produced as two separate engagements. The lighting, prop set, and visual language are established once, and both asset types are captured from the same build. Fewer production days, more coherent output.

Frequently Asked
What does tabletop direction cover? +
Shot design, camera and lighting direction, talent choreography for hand models, and coordination with agency, DP, and post. Works in tandem with still capture on set.
Do you direct for other tabletop DPs or shoot it yourself? +
Both. Happy to direct with a separate DP when the campaign requires it, or shoot the motion in house as part of the same still production.
