Stories of context, metaphor, and location

In addition to design, Hilliard shoots authentic stories of people in their environment, exploring context, making emotional connections, and sidestepping minefields of cliches.

What We Do

What We Do

People

Editorial business stories, portraiture in context, and real people doing real things. Many of our clients come from law, technology, education and non-profits, but the most interesting work combines relationships with narrative.

Places

Light, color, people, food, history — each leads to a destination, and our goal of making the world a little smaller. Landscapes and beauty shots are wonderful, but illustrating other cultures is the real art of making pictures.

Ideas

Concepts, metaphors, objects and reportage. Four decades of shooting hasn't dampened enthusiasm for making tabletop products spicy or building connections between people and big ideas.

Motion

Video interviews, shooting time-lapse segments, short documentaries, and showing a point of view over time are essential to getting major points across. Plus, who doesn't like a little story?
