In partnership with Visit Bend, our team was invited to experience and capture the soul of Central Oregon, not through a brochure, but through our lens.

As part of a creator-driven campaign, three of our team members spent several days exploring Bend and its surrounding landscapes: hiking through towering pines, soaking in alpine sunrises, and diving into the local culture that makes Bend so unique. From volcanic trails to craft breweries, we brought cameras everywhere and let the story unfold naturally.

Our goal was simple: showcase the beauty of Bend, Oregon, through authentic, cinematic storytelling. The resulting content was used across Visit Bend’s digital channels to inspire travel and deepen the emotional connection to the region, blending influencer energy with production-level visuals.

Whether it was sunrise fly-fishing or golden-hour mountain views, every shot was crafted to make one thing clear: Bend isn’t just a place, it’s a feeling.
