Benton Collins has spent years mastering the artful nuances of commercial product photography in Brooklyn, NY and beyond.

He understands that product photography should speak to the consumer; make them covet what they see on the page or screen and reach for it with their own hands. That this image should make the audience want to eat your food, buy your product, and use your technology that they’re compelled to buy it.

His focus is to create a lasting image or a video that accomplishes his client's goals. After years of working with large, national clients—such as Coke, Pepsi, Sony —and top agencies in the industry, Benton knows exactly what that takes.

The BOOM team specialise in CGI illustration and animation, including character design, CGI modelling, texturing, animation and retouching. They have developed a thorough understanding of how to craft an image to communicate the right message and captivate the consumer. It’s no surprise that the team have been working together for almost ten years, producing exciting solutions for some of the largest global brands, including Apple, Coca-Cola, Gillette and Nike. Their keen eye for innovation and trends has earned them a place among the top commercial digital artists in the world.
