Published December 6, 2017

Editorial photographs tell a story. In these editorial portraits for The Home Depot, an employee donning the recognizable orange apron stands front and center, demonstrating the fact that employees are central to the retail chain’s success. Since commencing operations in Canada in 1994, Home Depot has become one of the nation’s leading home improvement retailers. Home Depot employs over 28,000 people in 182 stores across Canada. In these editorial photos, shot on location in the Garden Center in Winnipeg, Manitoba, one such employee stands, smiling, in the apron that reads “We are The Home Depot.”

The Home Depot associate, Sharon, stands in front of several rows of potted plants and flowers in the store’s outdoor Garden Center. Gardening gloves clipped to Sharon’s apron hang down at her side. A full shot is used in order to show the subject in her work space. The full shot, also known as a long shot in photography, is effective for storytelling because it shows the subject in the context of their surroundings. The plants in the foreground help to add interest and draw the eye in.
