City of Manteca Taps Tripepi Smith for City-Wide Photoshoot
In September 2021, the City of Manteca called on Tripepi Smith for a stock image photoshoot. Tripepi Smith has previously assisted the City with social media management, content production, media monitoring, metrics reporting and strategic communications planning.
“The City of Manteca strives to keep our communications top-notch and that includes using imagery of our beautiful City across all areas,” said Manteca Director of IT and Innovation Pennie Arounsack. “Tripepi Smith consistently exceeds expectations by delivering high-quality services to our City.”
Senior Graphic Designer Kjerstin Wingert captured images of roughly 50 locations around the 21-square mile city within two days. The photoshoot had a strong focus on people, and Kjerstin’s goal was to capture residents and city employees to showcase their lifestyles and the vibrant spirit of the city. The pictures feature various landmarks and communal areas including City Hall complexes, dog parks, golf courses, tennis courts, libraries, shopping centers, fire stations, hiking trails and even a BMX park. Director Jon Barilone and Junior Business Analyst Allison Torres supported Kjerstin throughout the preparation process.
“I am proud of all that we were able to accomplish in just two days of shooting,” said Kjerstin. “Manteca’s city staff were a pleasure to work with, their professionalism and highly organized planning helped make this photoshoot the success that it was. It was a joy to capture the essence of their beautiful city and the smiling faces that help make it run.”
