LPA lifestyle photographer Nick David was recently commissioned by Wolff Olins to shoot for Hive, the UK’s leading smart home energy provider. Lead by Art Director Sophie Paynter, the brief was to create a library of images featuring some of Hive’s leading products including their App, thermostat, Hive View and Hive Hub.

The brief included quite a bit of model casting and location scouting, so we had our work cut out. We had two houses, a park location, eleven adults, six children and one dog to find!We held a two day casting here in London to source the models and got in touch with A-Z animals to find our dog. The location scouting we managed ourselves and with the help of Shoot Factory we found two perfect ‘residential but summery’ houses within five minutes of each other in North London. We organised some recce’s for Nick to go and see a shortlist before confirming the final houses, this also allowed us to fine tune the shot list and source a nearby park to shoot in

The shoot itself was held over four days and with such a large cast, styling and make up wasn’t a task to take lightly! LPA Style team Charlie Cave and Erica Schlegel were prepped and ready to get everyone dressed and looking good on the day. Nick did a fantastic job and the shoot was a great success all round!
