Creative Vision and Strategy
Inspired by The Clinger's distinctive characteristics, I developed a creative vision that personified the product through the use of colorful backdrops, dynamic lighting (including bright, moody, and rim lighting), and macro photography. The visual strategy aimed to infuse a sense of personality into the images, reflecting the innovative spirit of The Clinger.
