How @yourstrulychelsea_ and I made the phone cord image!

Sitting on this for some time but here’s the breakdown. It starts with a base pose, then the cords get wrapped and shot section by section from the shoulders down.

From there composited in @photoshop with masks to blend it all together. Finishing with a final clean up and color grade.

So what yall think?

How I partnered with one of the greatest camera brands in the world!

The Nikon relationship started because my team and I reached out first. We didn’t wait to be discovered. That approach became our partnership around the Nikon Z8.

Bali came later, from that existing relationship, when I pitched them a creative vision that served both my goals and theirs. That alignment is the whole secret most people miss.

The work is in post now and coming soon. Follow so you’re here when it drops.
