The Philadelphia Eagles had such a historic regular season. THEN they went on to crush the New York Giants this past weekend. All of this got us thinking back to the summer when we were photographing Brandon Graham!
Over the summer we worked with 919 Marketing to promote a PrimoHoagies franchise in Sicklerville, NJ. The campaign included a series of images featuring Brandon Graham at the storefront. It can be difficult sometimes with busy people (like pro football players) in these type’s of jobs. This one was NOT difficult. At all.
Graham, the stud defensive end, was the definition of a consummate professional. He showed up ready to go, never dropping the trademark smile (unless we asked, of course) the entire time.
The job included photographs of the sandwich shop itself, so we started out by photographing a variety of sandwich trays and the interior and exterior of the shop. Then it was time to get to work photographing Brandon Graham. It could not have been an easier assignment. His excitement and happy demeanor were infectious as we moved from setup to setup. We did a mix of portraits of Brandon Graham in front of the shop and inside. He played around with the sandwiches, making everyone laugh as he posed and chatted with everyone. We even got him behind the counter, in full Primo Hoagies work attire, with the staff of the shop.
For someone who probably gets asked to have his photo taken dozens of times a day, he was so hospitable the entire time. It was really a fun shoot to be a part of and made it a little more interesting to see him flying around on the field this past weekend.
Shoutout to our photographer Matt for handling this assignment!
And, as always, go birds!
