MOOD + STYLE: ORGANIC ELEGANCE Inspired by the carefree lifestyle of island living, the Sugar Cane Jamaica inspiration and style is a mix of premier luxury with the organic, casual aesthetic of the Jamaican environment. Tactile, uncoated textures paired with clean, modern design find visual balance when communicating the Sugar Cane Jamaica brand. Natural elements, such as palm fronds and water, make their way into the visual inspiration.

The feeling is relaxed and carefree, a breath from the everyday hustle and bustle. While Sugar Cane Jamaica conveys this laissez-faire attitude, it is equally, if not more-so, matched with elegance, sophistication, and a refined aesthetic.

LIFESTYLE Lifestyle photography heavily shows three key focus areas: beach/ocean, amenities, and fun. These points are evident in all images. Lifestyle shots should not be overly posed, if at all. Photography should appear candid, like catching someone in the moment. Cropped faces and macro images are ideal to show a more engaging and cinematic lifestyle, while scenic photographs portray full moments to capture the viewer and show off the environment. A mix of both macro and wide angle shots should be used for visual contrast. Sugar Cane Jamaica

MACRO Maco photography is used to bring the viewer into the story, while showcasing texture and color. Macro photography is perfect for environment shots, landscape, food, and interior design. Macro images are often juxtaposed with wide-lens imagery to help tell the brand story and paint a deeper image.
