Welcome
Hi, I’m Brandon Lavoie. I’m an award-winning filmmaker and photographer, and I’ve been applying my skills in both mediums to the commercial world for the last 10 years. My personal and commercial work has taken me all around the world, with clients like Marriott, Hilton, Disney, Capital One, Salomon, Arc'Teryx, Hunter Boots, Neiman Marcus, and Ikea, just to name a few. You can take a look at my work via my website and instagram.
I’m diving into something new via this Substack channel, where I’ll be sharing a closer look at the shoots I direct and photograph, discussing the creative process and approach to both commissioned and personal work. I’ll cover the details of creative development, negotiating + the business side of things, the challenges we face, and the unique moments that make it all worthwhile. I’ll also be sharing insights into the worlds of directing and photography—both commercial and personal—and highlighting others' work that inspires me.
My goal is to make this space helpful for those of you trying to navigate these industries on your own, just like I’ve had to. I’m hoping that through this experiment, I’ll not only be a resource to others but also learn more about myself along the way.
Thanks so much!
