Apple
For this photo shoot, our primary objective was to utilize studio lighting techniques to highlight the sleek and minimalist design that Apple is renowned for. We strategically deployed reflections to generate a captivating visual interplay within the glass of the Apple Watch, drawing the viewer's eye and enhancing the product's elegance. To further convey a sense of reliability and longevity, we incorporated longer shadows in the setup, symbolizing the enduring quality of the MacBook and its performance over time. This careful consideration of lighting and shadow helped to create a striking and memorable composition that reflects Apple's brand ethos.

‘Alone Again’
This photoshoot was an intimate exploration into the depths of grief, that would be paired with a thought-provoking article to amplify the narrative. The visual landscape was intentionally infused with dark and moody colors to evoke the profound emotions tied to pain and loss, while a fog-laden day was selected for the shoot, enveloping the scene in a veil of mystery that mirrors the often enigmatic nature of how grief intertwines with our lives. At the heart of this visual journey was a rugged wooden rocking chair, chosen as a poignant focal point; its weathered surface and worn edges served as a powerful symbol of the long-lasting effects that grief imprints on our souls over time, allowing the overall composition to resonate deeply with viewers and inviting them to confront their own experiences with sorrow in a raw and reflective manner.
