WA WINE COMMISSION RFP
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY
Our Story
AFTER95 Creative is an award-winning film and photo studio nestled along the mighty Columbia River in Vancouver, Washington. We specialize in documentary and branded lifestyle media production. Our mission is to tell stories that captivate, enlighten, and inspire people to live more abundant lives.
Founded in the iconic Walla Walla Valley, we discovered our passion for capturing the essence of wine and the incredible people behind it. Our company quickly became immersed in a world of exceptional wine and cuisine, shaping the very foundation of who we are today. Since 2018, we’ve been honored (and a bit spoiled) to collaborate with some of Washingtons premiere wine, culinary, and agricultural organizations.
A Few Collaborators
Core Team
Olivia Nowak |
Art Director
Originally from Montreal, Olivia worked for over a decade in the wine and food industry, and maintains a deep passion for local food systems. Having spent the last eight years living in the Pacific Northwest, she aims to create visually stunning stories that reflect the beauty of the region and the creative energy of the people that call it home.
Andrew Yamada | Production Director
Originally from Oahu, Hawaii, Andrew attended university in Eastern Washington where he was introduced to the diverse beauty of the Pacific Northwest. His love of the outdoors refines his visual style and his reverence of community inspires his collaboration. Yamada strives to amplify the ideas of stewardship, community, and exploration while elevating subjects typically overlooked or marginalized.
Clay Kruse | DoP/Editor
SoCal beach boy turned PNW mountain man - Clay has traveled the world documenting stories that connect people to one another and the things that sustain us. Since first filming wine 6 years ago, he has a developed a knack for capturing the right moment at the right time and letting story lead his lens.
Julia Barnett | Producer
Julia is a producer originally from the heart of America in Kansas City, MO and found her home in Washington in 2022. With over a decade specializing in food and beverage storytelling, Julia strives to find magic in the mundane and allows her fellow humans to feel seen and heard.
Isaac Baik | Photographer/ 1st AC
Isaac was born from Korean immigrants, Eastern WA raised, and Walla Walla shaped. His northwest roots and fondness of all things sappy have forged a path of connecting with some of Washington's most interesting wine and ag people.
Our Film Production
PNW Wine Reel | Video Production
We’ve produced content for over 30 wine and agriculture brands, filmed in every corner of the Pacific Northwest, and have developed a deep understanding of the people who work with the land.
We love the outdoors, don’t mind getting our hands dirty, and love creating some movie magic along the way.
Here are a few of our favorite frames from the last 5 years of wine filmmaking.
Short Form Documentary | L’Ecole No. 41
From script drafts to post production our team created a short documentary film and video library celebrating family heritage, wine excellence, and a commitment to the future of Washington makers at L’Ecole.
Brand Video Spotlight | Walla Walla Community College
WWCC asked us to create a spotlight piece about their world class Enology and Viticulture program. For 3 months we filmed both students and alumni to tell the story of how this wine program changes lives for the better every year.
AFTER95 Reel | A Further Glimpse Into Our Style
With our combined expertise in both the great outdoors and wine media, we could truly capture unforgettable video that shows the unsung side of wine experiences in Washington state.
