Charlotte Seven - a documentary produced by Cowboy Collective captures this powerful story of history, preservation, and racial reconciliation.

Cowboy Collective stepped in to round out the creative team, producing a photoshoot that captured the power of Pantone’s Color of the Year through the lens of Spoonflower’s unique products.

The team creatively retouched images for a regular pharmaceutical client, portraying a patient's hopeful future after medication. They utilized in-house stock photography and studio shots to meet the client's specific visual requirements, resulting in a successful and unique solution.

Cowboy does brand work! We were thrilled to partner with Spoonflower create a new brand look and feel that showcases the evolution of the brand, taking it from a household name among craft aficionados to an influential design and decor company. Take a look inside to learn how our creatives led this project.

The Lookbook is back! The longtime partnership between Cowboy Collective and Spoonflower’s creative team made the production of the first printed magazine since 2020 a dream! Cowboy’s talented crew produced the four-day shoot and retouched the final images to bring the Spoonflower team’s creative vision to life.

The Cowboys brought a full suite of skills to the table for Spoonflower’s “Winter Colorland” holiday mailer—from retouching to copywriting to digiteching. The result: a vibrant, energetic mini-catalog that showed off stacks of gorgeous fabrics, perfect for cozy crafting nights.

Durham ID (short for Durham Innovative District) is a 27-acre project in the heart of our city, intended to create spaces where people can live, work, and play. This production was special to us because it gave us an opportunity to highlight a growing part of our hometown. We love showcasing our local community!

Earlier this year, we worked with Perigold, a design-focused subsidiary of the furniture company Wayfair, on our biggest retouching project to date. In one month, our stable of retouchers perfected 173 unique images for their Spring 2022 catalog!

Frigidaire’s top-of-the-line refrigerators, washing machines, and other appliances have made home life run more smoothly since the company was founded in the 1910s. As devoted fans of a frosty beverage and a clean load of laundry, we were thrilled when Cowboy was tapped by D.C. based photographer and director Eli Meir Kaplan to produce a lifestyle photo and video shoot for them!

Though we’re looking forward to “returning to normal” as much as anyone, our commitment to keeping our clients and crew safe is our top priority. Therefore, we’re still running a pretty tight ship when it comes to COVID-19. Our protocols maximize collective safety, direct our interactions with each other on set, and provide the peace of mind we need in order to create our best work.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues, every industry is faced with an urgent question: how can we adapt? On-set production is no exception. Here at Cowboy, we’re preparing to jump back into the saddle when it comes to wrangling a shoot —but we’re committed to keeping our clients, crew, and all support staff as safe and healthy as we possibly can.
