CHABLIS WINEMAKERS
We conducted a photo and video shoot in the heart of Chablis, working closely with the Grossot and Pommier winemakers to capture the essence of this renowned wine region. The project consisted of a series of short videos that, despite their brevity, carried the depth and emotion of a full documentary. Through these videos, we aimed to educate viewers on the challenges faced by the Chablis winemakers—frost, organic farming, and the delicate process of generational transmission. This winemakers are telling a story of courage and the enduring beauty of wine.
HATOZAKI – Triple Cask
We conducted a photo and video shoot for the launch of Hatozaki’s new Triple Cask whisky, a product that undergoes a unique aging process in three different barrels, with one stage specifically in barrels previously used for ume, the traditional Japanese plum. The challenge was to create a compelling set-up in the barrel storage area in Akashi, Japan, a space that is fairly common and straightforward in appearance.
135 EAST GIN – Japan Bartenders
We embarked on a photo and video shoot across Japan’s vibrant bar scenes in Kobe, Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo, capturing the artistry of multiple award-winning bartenders. The project focused on producing a series of videos for 135 East Gin, each showcasing a unique cocktail creation by these expert mixologists, highlighting the versatility and distinct character of the gin
AKASHI TAI & MANDARIN ORIENTAL
We created 40 photos for Akashi Tai. The aim was to highlight the food and sake pairings, with a particular focus on seafood. We also wanted to capture the beauty of the places in London where the Akashi Tai brand is distributed: The Mandarin Oriental, The Malt Bar, Kibou.
Based in Akashi since 1856, the Yonezawa family brewery produces Akashi-Tai sakes with respect for the local, artisanal know-how of the Hyogo region. The latter is considered the birthplace of sake, and is the traditional sake brewing capital of Japan.
MEZAN RUM – Jamaica
We went shooting Jamaica for Mezan Rum during 10 days. We created a collection of 100 photos and 10 reels. We stayed true to the brand’s core DNA: unaltered rum.
Our mission was to capture the essence of untouched, natural environments that mirror the pure and authentic spirit of Mezan.
We ventured deep into Jamaica’s unspoiled landscapes, from dense jungles to pristine tropical rivers, to find the perfect backdrop that would tell the story of Mezan Rum’s origin and character.
