Standard Chartered
This was a campaign we shot for Standard Chartered in Hong Kong, but also across multiple regions. Every setup had to work in different markets, so we shot each image multiple times with different talent. Same frame, same idea, just carefully adjusted so it felt right for each region.
Standard Chartered is an international bank. They focus on private banking, wealth management, and corporate banking, mainly across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. A big part of what they do is helping individuals and businesses manage, grow, and move money globally. It’s quite a relationship-driven business, less about transactions, more about long-term financial strategy.
What I like about this one is the simplicity. It looks clean and straightforward, but there’s quite a lot behind it. We built a small set, used CGI for the background, and shot everything with a very controlled lighting setup. Everything designed to feel precise, but still natural.
That balance is always the tricky part. We wanted it refined, but not overworked. Polished and elegant but still real. It’s very easy to push it too far. I think we managed to hold it in the right place here.
In the end, these are big images, but built quite carefully. Nothing shouting, just everything sitting where it should. Clean, considered, and holding its space.
One of the best moments was seeing it take over Forbes Asia.
The campaign wrapped the entire issue, a proper cover wrap, hard to ignore, exactly where it should be.
That felt like a real sign it had landed.
