Cintas

Workwear, photographed where the work happens.

Monty has worked alongside Cintas's marketing team for more than 20 years, shooting their uniform and workwear programs on real job sites: construction sites, industrial plants, commercial kitchens, and landscaping yards.

For the ComfortFlex Pro launch, he directed talent through tight spaces so the stretch in the fabric reads on camera, balancing natural and artificial light. OMS also handles Cintas's ghost mannequin product work and campaign video in-house.
