PROJECT

FOREST AND MOUNTAINS

In spring 2025 we organised a production trip to Central Europe, and North Outdoor came along. We took their clothing to southern Germany and the Alps to be photographed.

We shot in two countries and two very different terrains with light kit. The assignment was simple, lifestyle images for social and e-commerce use. The client got a full library of images from both environments.

ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER

North Outdoor makes merino wool outdoor clothing, designed in Finland and knitted at its own mill in Oulu. The main material is mulesing-free merino wool, which works in the terrain and in everyday use.

Production

Two countries and one trip.

We shot for two days, first in the Balingen forest and then on a Liechtenstein alpine trail.

Challenge

The weather and light in the Alps changed fast.

01

We moved from the Balingen forest to the Liechtenstein Alps with the whole production kit and the clothing range. Mountain weather changed quickly and the locations were hard to reach, so the shoot had to stay flexible.

Idea

Clothes belong in the terrain.

02

Merino outdoor clothing makes sense in the terrain and in motion. We set out to run a light production in striking settings. We agreed the visual style with the client and arranged two shoot days with two models.

Execution

Little direction was needed, because the setting carried the picture.

03

In the Balingen forest we shot men's clothing in natural light, movement and lifestyle with a hunting-themed mood. In the Liechtenstein Alps we shot both portraits and action shots on a mountain hiking trail. The work moved fast as the terrain and the light shifted. We handled all the arrangements for the client, so the shoot stayed light for them despite the distant location.

  • A full image library: lifestyle and detail shots.
  • Two terrain types: forest and alpine.

The light-touch collaboration between Fraymful and North Outdoor went well. Our wishes for the images were taken into account well and we got a big batch of high-quality images that will surely help us boost our marketing.
