Oh what the day job brings.....

The day job, the one that pays the bills, I direct the online strategy of the second largest temporary staffing company in the U.S. With that role, we sometimes have some fun and with this latest site rollout, we really did. I convinced the powers that be to let us create our own stock photography by conducting a photo shoot within our corporate walls. It was rather difficult to coordinate schedules and the 'models' we gathered were very accommodating to our needs. The company is filled with young men and ladies and to say we had plenty to pick from was an understatement.

I hired a friend and photographer, Mark Cozzoli, to handle the photo shoot. A few of my employees took care of schedules, picking the subjects, what shots we wanted to capture and even down to a makeup artist they found on Craig's List. Each model we had completed a model release, giving us full rights to the images. When you look at the prices of rights managed images on any stock photo site, you know the price to maintain individuality is rather expensive. We did the whole thing for a few grand and what you will see on the completed site is phenomenal. We agreed that all he had to do is shoot, we get full rights to the shots and he walks away with no post processing work at all.

It is a good feeling know the people that represent your products and services online and off are folks you know. Take a peak at the site here.
