Kruder is an Italian menswear brand known for urban tailoring, with boutiques across Italy. For the winter 2014 collection, the brand and the agency set the clothes among vintage objects and in a misty forest. As with the winter 2015 campaign, I didn't take the photos: I handled the light setup on set and the post-production, which here carried much more weight. Beyond skin and cleanup, some images needed more complex compositing, because they were made for billboards and advertising as well as for the lookbook. I also photographed the stores, where the campaign was on display and the lookbook was available to customers.
