Cade Martin: Los Angeles advertising photographers
Cade Martin: Los Angeles advertising photographers
As a photographer with a deep appreciation for movies who harbors an inner (and probably an outer) nerd, Star Wars for Deutsch LA and Target was a perfect project for Cade Martin. Growing up in an artistic community and in many a movie theater seat fostered a life-long appreciation for characters. These toys were no different. Bringing them to life for Cade meant creating environments for them that would reflect those cinematic influences; everything captured all in camera and with a strong lighting POV.
Luckily, everyone was on board with this approach, from the creatives at Deutsch to the clients at Target. Ultimately a dream job with a dream team. You can read more about it on his Tumblr.
