professional photography/content

We built and scaled their full digital presence. Instagram growth from 90K to 540K+ followers. TikTok launched from zero to millions of views and over 2M likes. The result? A brand that doesn’t just post. It leads the conversation in Houston seafood.

Lotus Seafood is a Houston staple with five locations and a cult following. When we began working together six years ago, their Instagram was at 90,000 followers. The goal was growth — but more importantly, cultural relevance, consistency, and digital dominance in a competitive food scene.

shoot planning

We produced a full brand photography experience that highlighted their legacy, the details of the cars, and the character of the venue. From portraits to environmental shots, the imagery gave them a refined, cohesive visual library to use across marketing, events, and digital platforms — positioning the brand with the same level of quality as the vehicles they represent.

Retrospect Motorworks is a Houston-based classic car dealership and event venue led by a husband-and-wife team with deep roots in car culture. They needed their first intentional brand shoot — something that captured their story, their space, and the craftsmanship behind the business.
