Dowell & Co. highlights their campaign for jewelry brand, Vogt Silversmiths as their Best of 2024.
The goal of the shoot was to highlight the jewelry in a way that made it feel organic and adaptable to one’s everyday work. The model, Anthony Ferro, is the owner of Fetching Feathers and an accomplished dog trainer who Chris and Mindy (the duo behind Dowell & Co.) met through another client. The team ultimately decided to incorporate Ferro’s niche dog training specialty into his portraits, which required trained pigeons as part of the shoot. Mindy recounts that “in order to capture the shot with the birds flying all around, we had a guy with a crate of pigeons patiently waiting behind a bush for the word to release them! They only had one chance to get the shot with the birds; they are trained to fly back to the coop, but there is no time constraint on how long it might be before they decide to fly back inside.”
