Joseph Ford - (more!) Dacia

We wanted to share these beautiful landscape format versions of the images Joseph Ford captured for his recent campaign for DACIA, commissioned by PUBLICIS CONSEIL.

The colour tones and details are so lovely its worth a closer look! 🔎✨

 

Joseph Ford - Dacia

Joseph Ford had a blast shooting this campaign for DACIA, focussing on their aftercare and maintenance services in studio and on location in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Like most of the projects Joseph works on, we combined stills and TVC production, shooting alongside the film crew and working with the DoP to integrate the stills and motion lighting for a more efficient production. This allowed the client to reduce costs and enabled Joseph to maximise the number of images he could capture. We love all the details in these beautifully captured ads.

Merci beaucoup to Publicis Conseil and all the team for a wonderful shoot.

🚗💨💨✨

 

Joseph Ford - Denis Meyers / MAUSA Vauban and an Invisible Jumper 🧶

Proof that good things come to those who wait…!

In early 2020, Nina Dodds started knitting this sweater, based on a design street artist Denis Meyers created to match his installation at MAUSA Vauban (Museum of Urban and Street Art).

Joseph was supposed to travel to Alsace to photograph Denis wearing the jumper at the end of March 2020, but Covid had other ideas. The shoot was rescheduled for March 2021 but the pandemic put a halt to that plan too.

Finally, in March 2022 Denis and Joseph got to shoot this stunning portrait for Joseph’s INVISIBLE JUMPERS project.

Can you read the words on the sweater? Scroll down for a closer look! 🔍

Joseph Ford - Arnold Worldwide Part 2

We’re delighted to share a few more of the images from Joseph’s recent healthcare campaign photographed in USA with Arnold Worldwide.

 

Joseph Ford - Arnold Worldwide

After seeing his Invisible Jumpers project, ARNOLD WORLDWIDE commissioned Joseph to work on a multifaceted campaign for a pharmaceutical skin care product including stills, cinemagraphs and films, using the wardrobe and location design techniques he’d developed for his personal project.  Shot on location over a two month period in Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and California, using real patients in both camouflaged and lifestyle scenarios, Joseph produced over 80 final assets including stills and cinemagraphs.

The overall look of the camouflage areas were developed by Joseph to ensure the patients would melt into their backgrounds and created the wardrobe brief for both stills and TVC.

The shooting process included several remote shoots completed from the UK with a live stream from the camera on set, directing models and lighting whilst his assistant in the USA physically triggered the camera. Stills and cinemagraph post-production was managed by Joseph and Flock for the US agency.

Here’s one of the concepts in full, where the twin swimmers are camouflaged and hidden in their environment to their full reveal post-treatment, living their best lives.

Joseph Ford - Coronavirus

Back in 2014 Joseph Ford created a project with the assistance of amazing knitter Nina Dodd.

They decided to focus on the idea of a CORONAVIRUS lurking in wait for a human encounter, so Nina and her friend Sue creating a giant knitted microbe for the purpose.

At the time, when Joseph showed people his work, most were unfamiliar with the concept but now his images feel horribly relevant…
