Last February, HMD chose our studio during MWC, using our unique space to stand out among tech giants like Samsung and Huawei.

So, next time you’re in Barcelona, let us know! We’d love to show you around the studio, and if the vibe’s right, we can share a coffee or a meal in the neighborhood. We’re more than just a space—we’re part of the creative community, and we’d love to help you grow yours."

This Showcase features the latest campaign of Barcelona-based still life photographer Kunal Rajput.

“This five-day liquid shoot came with a unique challenge and an interesting set build: capturing the product underwater, surrounded by the cichlids (an exotic fish, sourced from Iceland for this campaign), to create a deep blue ocean look with sunlight beaming through—all in real time!

Typically, for commercial campaigns, we create 1-2 highly detailed product photos a day, often shooting in plates (composites) to showcase the product in its best light. But this project took a different approach. We aimed to capture everything in a single, in-camera shot by building an underwater set in real time—no composites, staying true to life!

To enhance realism, the bottle was shot underwater in a vertical custom-built glass tank, creating photos in both 4:5 and 9:16 aspect ratios for this digital campaign - straight in camera. I opted for continuous lighting over flash, mimicking how our eyes perceive sunlight in the real world. We also chose not to retouch certain imperfections on the product to maintain its authenticity."
