DELL TOAD

When Quest's TOAD productivity software became part of the Dell Software Group, it came with a legacy identity and character. We were asked to update the identity and look to bring it in line with Dell Software's other platforms.

MANAGE. DEVELOP. BETTER.

Photography and video for Toad and Dell Software was shot over the course of two days in half a dozen locations, including outdoor. Multiple crews were used to capture footage simultaneously for photo and video footage. Two dozen models were selected for the first day of shooting to show crowd background and we focused on a dozen models for the second day of shooting to provide focus for the client's desired demographics.

My overall direction was for the shoot was to stay as natural as possible with lighting, posing and movement - we wanted these images to stand apart from the typical stock photography look.
