My First Major Commercial Shoot: Nissan

View fullsize

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to work with Nissan as they launched the opening of a new dealership in Cleveland, TN. I was charged with capturing images of the brand in recognizable places around the Cleveland/Chattanooga region, while leveraging my personal followings to build hype. An influencer, if you will.

The shoot was an incredible opportunity. I had the option of choosing two vehicles from their repertoire. Sadly, they didn’t trust me with the GTR, as can be expected, so I chose the Rogue & Titan. Also, it was the year they partnered with the Star Wars movie, Rogue One. So I was tasked with doing something interesting with that in mind for the Rogue.

Below were some of the best shots from this shoot. Enjoy!

Rows of beautiful Nissan cars during sunset at the dealership.

Nothing like a drive a dirt road through the changing Tennessee fall colors.

Any Chattanoogan worth their salt recognizes this iconic location, the Walnut Street Pedestrian Bridge.

Another classic location just south of Chattanooga, the Chickamauga National Battlefield sits quietly beneath a bed of stars.

The Drive with Confidence bay is a major feature of the new dealership they were quite proud of. The door to this bad boy opens in, no joke, about 4 seconds. Built for getting customers appraisals on their current cars & letting them avoiding the weather on bad days.

The Nissan Titan sits regal & kingly on its throne overlooking the Ocoee region on a sleepy autumn morning.

More regality with the Titan.

Cozy morning snuggled in sleeping bags in the bed of the Titan, the world below their oyster.

The image I created with the Star Wars theme. Red for the Dark Side & blue for the lighter side of things. That’s all for now, hope you enjoyed this little journey!
