Samsung had asked to make a conceptual shoot, placing some of their household products into fashionable images….

a true challenge and happy to share it finally with you….happy that my wonderful team withstood the ordeal…(raining all day, and cold,and handling of ice blocks), and that they had all the way confidence

Awesome work and awesome gig!

I like the videos as well... always reminds me that there are some projects that I have done years ago... especially for multimedia presentation, but never finalized..

It's so powerful what you have done and fantastic with the underlying music.

Btw., do you need special licensing for the music (e.g. the jazz part) or is this one of those royalty free pieces?

Congrats! I'll watch the videos as soon as I get a chance.

Never thought of a washing machine as "sexy" and/or "fasionable" according to Samsung... wink

Nice PS work on the back end too... wink

Cool stuff - it always amuses me how un-glamorous actual shoots often are and yet the results look like the most glamorous thing ever!

Congrats!  borat

The female model is more expressive.

yes totally in concept, fits with my vision of men..women are for me energy , men are rocks (dynamic <--> static)….and it's a male model, even if he sleeps, he photographs great wink

if you look carefully there are about 10 different contrast in this series….warm/cold, desert/ice, static movement, male/female..

in any case a fun project to do smile

Makes me proud to be in a community that has pros and results like this.

Makes me starkly humble to be looking at that level of accomplishment.

Hugely impressive. Congratulations. Applause.
