Rivian - Flagship Store in Denver

May 8, 2024

As a photographer at Wyatt Smith Media, I recently embarked on a mission to enhance the visual representation of the Rivian Denver flagship location. Rivian, renowned for its adventure-oriented electric vehicles, places a strong emphasis on photography to convey their brand story. Their cars are designed to inspire exploration and adventure, and their visual identity reflects this ethos.



During a deep dive into Rivian’s online presence, I noticed the Denver location lacked a high-quality exterior image that matched the brand’s visual standards. Understanding the importance of maintaining a cohesive and compelling visual narrative, I decided to take on the challenge.

At the twilight hour, when the sky’s hues perfectly complement the sleek design of Rivian vehicles, I captured the essence of the Denver location. This time of day, known for its soft and luxurious lighting, aligns with the visual storytelling seen across Rivian’s other flagship locations in the United States.



The resulting images radiate excitement, richness, and luxury, seamlessly integrating with Rivian’s existing visual assets. By ensuring the Denver location’s photographs met and exceeded the expectations of Rivian’s branding, I aimed to reflect the adventure and sophistication inherent in their brand.


At Wyatt Smith Media, we excel in understanding a brand’s ideas and narrative, crafting visual stories that align with their overall goals. This project underscores our commitment to delivering photography that not only meets but elevates our clients’ branding standards.

Capturing the Vibrant Transformation of Westfax Brewing Company We had the pleasure of working with WESTFAX Brewing to capture their newly renovated exterior and expanded patio space, located at the historic Casita Bonita on Colfax. This update comes just in time for the summer, providing the perfect spot for patrons to enjoy their favorite brews outdoors. We headed to the Denver location for a dynamic photo and video shoot, creating a quick 30-second Instagram/TikTok video for their marketing campaign. The updated exterior images of their patio and storefront turned out fantastic, highlighting the vibrant atmosphere of the brewery. The shoot was extra special as it featured their loyal patrons who turned up on a lively Saturday night, excited to be part of the marketing campaign. Their genuine enjoyment and energy were captured beautifully, adding authenticity to the photos. We also had the opportunity to photograph the dedicated staff in action, brewing a new batch of beer.

A Journey Through Light and Craftsmanship Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to photograph Susan Hable’s latest jewelry collection, a stunning array of hand-carved emeralds, lapis, 24-karat gold, and coral pieces, all meticulously crafted in India. Susan, renowned for her design prowess, personally sourced and organized these materials, working closely with skilled craftsmen to bring this collection to life. The Photoshoot Experience The shoot took place in a beautifully lit living room, where we utilized natural light bouncing through a glass panel door to create a radiant glow around the model. The setting was perfect for highlighting the delicate details and luxurious feel of the jewelry. However, not having my full lighting kit posed a challenge. The shifting sunlight made it difficult to maintain a consistent feel across all images. Thankfully, we discovered another door that provided a similar lighting effect, allowing us to achieve the desired look throughout the shoot.
