Brand work begins with understanding the task, the idea, the audience, the identity of the brand and the people involved.
Raphael combines photography, film, light, location, casting and other creative tools to build a visual response that serves the project. The goal is work that communicates clearly while retaining emotion, character and a sense of human reality.
