COGNITIVE OPS
This project is here to show how having one clear overarching concept behind a shoot and carrying it through can make a body of work strong. I’m a fan of this shoot not only because the imagery is stunning, but because it shows how I’m able to create a consistent mood throughout multiple images, while still being different in the approach per frame. The theme of this shoot was for Dia de los Muertos, a Mexican holiday after Halloween where the souls of the dead return to visit Earth.
HOW IT WENT
It was my responsibility to help define the kind of world we were going to build. In working with a copywriter to develop ideas for the scenarios mom would be in, we landed on a Willy Wonka meets Wes Anderson visual look with an unexpectedly delightful tone. The copywriter and I were also responsible for helping with scripts, storyboards, art direction, photography, selecting the production partner to work with, casting, wardrobe and set design.
