SELECTED PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK

Different worlds.
A precise point of view.

Selected visual worlds, from product photography to film.

My role
Art direction and production across selected Blackmotion projects.
Scope
Photography · Product · Composition · Film

Start with what makes the object distinct.

Context & challenge

Champagne, high jewellery and eyewear ask for different visual registers. The work needs to respect each brand while finding a clear and engaging way to present its products.

Strategic response

The selected images explore proportion, surfaces and light: architectural arrangements for champagne, close observation of jewellery, and graphic sets for eyewear.

Laurent-Perrier

Clean geometry and restrained props give the bottles a sculptural presence. Seasonal details introduce warmth without overwhelming the product.

Cindy Chao

Close views reveal the organic forms and intricate surfaces of the jewellery, moving between the finished piece and the context of making.
