Task:
Initially, the problem in Uzbekistan was that companies often used very stock-like, unnatural advertising photos. There was a lack of creative approach in these visuals, which made them appear artificial and uninspiring. Our goal was to address this issue by demonstrating how advertising photography can be presented innovatively and authentically.
Execution:
To achieve this, we divided our project into 10 different products, each with its own unique styling, target audience, and visual approach. We developed 10 distinct concepts and conducted 10 separate photoshoots, each illustrating how advertising photography can break away from conventional stock imagery and offer something genuinely innovative and engaging. To make the idea clear, we named the case "Your Ad Could Be Here" and included specific product categories such as chewing gum, laundry detergent, soap, spices, candys, energy drink, bank, milk, smartphone and fashion dress.
Naming:
The title of the photo case, "Your Ad Could Be Here," immediately helped people understand the concept we were presenting. It made it clear that the idea behind the photo was that it could represent an advertisement for a chewing gum, laundry detergent, soap, spices, candys, energy drink, bank, milk, smartphone and fashion dress. This allowed viewers to see the potential of what advertising photography can be.
