From Humble Beginnings to a Thriving Family Enterprise

Welcome to Darpet, a testament to the American dream captured through our professional photography. Founded by Peter, a Polish immigrant, Darpet began with a simple mission: to support his family in a new country. Today, Darpet is more than just a business; it’s a legacy of family, quality, and customer satisfaction, located right in the heart of Franklin Park, IL.

The Need for a Visual Identity

When we initially met with Darpet, their request was simple: a professional headshot of their CEO, Peter, for a magazine feature. However, as our discussions progressed, it became evident that Darpet lacked visual representations of their amazing staff and the essence of their brand identity. Recognizing the need for more comprehensive brand photography, we planned a series of in-person meetings to carefully outline their objectives and devise a strategy to authentically capture their story through images. Over three days, we conducted a detailed photoshoot, dedicating each day to a different aspect of their business. We captured images of their warehouse team, took broader team photos, and highlighted their operational space, effectively bringing every aspect of Darpet’s legacy to life through our lenses.

Let’s work together:
