Over the past few years, the industry has seen a significant change as fashion brands have moved to communicating with their audience through creating digital content. And as a part of experiential marketing, brands have discovered a profound & insightful connect with consumers through audiovisual narrative.
In the pursuit of acquiring exclusivity and authenticity, brands have recognised that the key to be enticing online, is through experimenting more with film making and digital content creation.
Artfoto Studios feels ecstatic about taking on the visual asset creation for one of the participant designers, Amit Aggarwal. The collection truly depicts the weightlessness of the ocean, the caress of the wind, and the cradle of earth through its intricate design lines and the silhouette, as captured through the art of photography.
The challenge of shooting the campaign was making each image look unique. And as these shots were taken from a higher vantage point, there were limitations in movement and trying different angles. We overcame these challenges and were able to capture each shot differently by experimenting with different body forms in the water. As each garment reacted to the water differently, we had to first study the garment in water and basis which we positioned ourselves to take the perfect shot.

The shoot wasn’t just the ordinary, but was intended to grasp the attention of many as it was an underwater shoot for the first time ever for Amit Aggarwal. However challenging it may have sounded, we were extremely thrilled to be taking this up, as Artfoto has always showcased exclusive and exceptional content over the years. The campaign film shot was seen as alluring and dreamy as was the idea of the designer, and we were successful in conveying the message to its consumers through the visual content curated by us. The film lasted for 4:30 minutes covering every element of the design that kept the consumer well engaged and the soothing audio, added an ethereal character to it as well.
