Giants
Little Outdoor Giants’ mission is to create unique, curated, and curious lifestyle imagery that is hinged on authenticity and a desire to live an aesthetic life and tell beautifully stylized stories. We believe in it wholly because it’s how we live our own lives. We bring fun and playfulness to everything that we are involved in. We would be thrilled to bring that lifestyle philosophy to WS’s Paper Store Library shoot and the pictures that we can’t wait to create with you.
Thank you for considering us for this project.

How We Do
How we work together as a duo is unique and it has several iterations based the needs of the production. We are both trained photographers with interchangeable skills, providing the very best experience and value while on set. We both shoot stills, we both shoot motion, and we both get creative on set.
Depending on the shot we can work as an A & B camera team on the same scene, one of us shooting wide lifestyle shots tethered to the monitor for client to see, while the other is getting those tighter and more intimate moments using a slightly different angle, a longer lens, or capturing more product and details. Additionally, we are capable to splitting off within a scene to capture portraits, or other candid moments and work with talent separately to maximize the imagery in the same amount of time on set.
We approach each project keeping the production in mind and we’re always asking ourselves how can we most effectively achieve the needs of our client while maintaining the highest level of creativity and output. For this reason, we take our pre-production and tech-scout seriously, using that time to dial in scenarios, camera angles and necessary workflow so that come shoot day we are able to be spontaneous and creative with the shots and talent. Knowing everything is pre-planned, from the file structure, to the scenes and scenarios let’s us and the talent have more fun come shoot day. We do this all while creating a fun, creative, and authentic atmosphere for the talent, the client and crew, and ultimately the library of images.

Client Testimonials
“Right from the initial call, it was clear that Dom and Jarrod had invested themselves in our project—digging into the details and potential. Their enthusiastic energy never let up. Navigating the specifics and twists-and-turns of our shoot was always positive, constructive, a great buzz.
In the ad biz, it’s an honor to collaborate with truly talented people—that’s when the magic happens. That collaborative spirit is inherent in Dom and Jarrod as a team. These days, as we tend to work through all sorts of technology, a terrific personal collaboration means more than ever. LOG on.”
“We worked with Little Outdoor Giants on our Summer “Blue Freedom” project and were blown away by the images they captured. Not only was the content unique and inspiring but working with these guys was a breeze – they were responsive, positive and delivered more than we asked for. We can’t wait to work with L.O.G. again on future projects.”
“Jarrod and Dom were not only the most fashionable duo I have worked with, but also hands down the most collaborative. Their ability to adapt to quick changes on set, as well as their twin-like telepathy, made for an awesome shoot and allowed us to capture way more shots that we had planned for.
Both the client and I were blown away with the their positive attitudes, their adaptiveness, and of course, the beautiful shots.”
“From the moment I met them, we connected on a creative level that is hard to come by. Not only are these two photography masters they are by far two of the nicest guys in the industry that I have had the privilege of working with.
Being an outdoor brand, it is essential to find photographers who genuinely embrace the outdoors. The Little Outdoor Giants are those guys. They seamlessly capture authentic and beautiful outdoor moments we are always striving for at L.L.Bean. They are collaborative, creative, energetic, passionate, and all-around incredible human beings.”
“Ok, so here’s the deal with Little Outdoor Giants, they are magical humans. Not only are they dope photographers, they are also varsity partners and creators. If you were to close your eyes and imagine the type of people you would like to work with for the rest of your life, I think these guys would come very close to that vision. They are unafraid to create in partnership and for that any project feels like a wildly enjoyable dance. The process is incredibly professional, the detail with which they approach a project is inspiring and at the end of day the work is filled with heart. I try to work with Dom & Jarrod as often as possible. ”
