This is an example of a short form viral we did for musical act Bubbz & The Black Notez. The brief was to show the fans an insight into the bands personalities whilst exploring a typical gig day an how the band prepares for such an event.
Blossom The first project for James Pollak was to shoot model Karina Østerberg for AC Rino. James described the project as: A cold, metallic pallet that then evolves through inspiration from AW11′s vibrant colours, drawing influences from traditional African headpieces to complete the contrast. Brought to life on a beautiful Scandinavian canvas, Karina Østerberg.
