Regione Lazio – Print Campaign

It’s such a breath of fresh air to see advertising for something like flu vaccines get more creative. This print campaign by Superhumans Rome is such a perfect example. Rather than a serious, boring message about getting the flu vaccination, they take a funnier, more memorable angle on the issue. With the line: Winter is not scary any more, with the flu vaccine, they are able to open up their imagery to include really funny things like a polar bear and a yeti – no longer scaring normal people, as they would before.

Perfect – and great quality on the executions too. They really live up to the idea!

Oleg Oprisco – Photography

Oleg Oprisco is a Ukrainian fine art photographer who blends fashion, portraiture and of course fine art photography to create a unique visual style that is so appealing. What sets him apart and makes his work extra interesting, is that he shoots on film. This means everything you see in these photographs had to be created the old fashioned way – no photo manipulation techniques and no chance to ‘fix it in post’!

What a great commitment to the art.

Kilian Schoenberger – Photography

Kilian Schoenberger is a German photographer who captures landscapes in such a beautiful way. We love his sense for the dramatic, using a minimal colour palette to really give power to his images.

These really are special!
