During the pandemic lockdowns, I started a project working on building a commercial photography portfolio and trying to attract small and mid-size companies by shooting quality images of their products and providing them for free in hopes of generating more work. It was great practice. 

I actually made contact with the people over at Portland Bee Balm, and they loved the work so much that they went and shared it out with their Instagram followers. Though they didn't have the budget to pay for more photographs, they loved what I gave them.
