Project Highlight – Klean Kanteen x Santa Cruz Skateboards

The Klean Kanteen website, featuring several photographs of Santa Cruz Skateboards-branded water bottles.

Over 2 days and 5 shoots, I captured lifestyle product photos for an exciting collaboration between Klean Kanteen, a Chico-based reusable drinkware company, and Santa Cruz Skateboards, an internationally-known skateboarding icon. The brief was for “a summer time vibe around town,” so I captured images in several locations – a skatepark, record store, and classic California diner among them.

The images were used across Klean’s website and social media platforms.
