Create Validating Visuals.
Create a Successful Project.

Our experience with close up cinematography and slow motion work is the perfect fit to bring to life the Family Secret for Seagrams VO.

Being in the imaging business for over 30 years, our ability to work with light and lenses and find the beauty and nuance found in product photography is second to none.

Creating photography and motion for spirits categories can be especially challenging. We know how to make it sing. The product is more than a bottle and a label. Through the magic of light, and lens, it can shimmer and bring forth a personality that finds the eye and the heart at the same time.

Our approach would utilize robotic motion control, screen technology, and foreground branding assets to create an artful blend motif to best represent Seagram’s VO. We will capture dynamic camera moves following liquid, capturing splashes and move the bottle along with the camera to really catch the viewers attention. Through screen technology we will have historical images appear behind the bottle, nodding to Seagram’s VO historical past. To create more depth we will add digital branding materials in the foreground. This blend of motion, historical imagery & assets will best represent the brands story and this artfully blended whisky. Our team looks forward to this wonderful collaboration and opportunity.

In-house Photo Retouching

There’s no photo magic here, it just looks like it

OMS believes in taking on a visual challenge and rising to the occasion. A great photo gets us 90% of the way to the desired product. Digital retouching pushes us to 100%. There is an undeniable “wow” factor here, but our joy comes from sharing the process with others.

Where an in-house team makes the difference
  • Full collaboration with photographers and clients
  • Photographers can shoot with next steps in mind
  • Revisit finished images anytime to fit your next campaign

Each Shooting Space Has

A professional kitchen

Each kitchen has everything a food stylist or chef would need. Ovens, ranges, ample prep areas, refrigerators, freezers, all types of cooking equipment, utensils, and more. Even fryers!

A client work area

Each space has an area for clients, with snacks, beverages, high-speed wi-fi, and access to high-def screens where photographers can show their work in progress. You will actually get work done while we execute your shoot.

A closed set option

Have a product that requires discretion? Each floor is an excellent space for privacy. We can lock the doors, draw the curtains, and have only designated people enter. The entire OMS staff has signed a non-disclosure agreement for all clients that work with us. Just let us know in advance if this is something you need.

The puzzle that makes a photo shoot

Producing a photo shoot is all about working with moving parts. Coordinating multiple people, timelines, locations, props, and communication lines is a full-time job. This is exactly why we have a dedicated team.

Photographers and their support crew

The photographer can execute a vision, but they can’t do everything solo. It’s imperative to find the right crew to work alongside the photographer. Depending on the requirements of the shoot, we’ll find, coordinate and schedule the involvement of several different people.
