Challenge

Create a series of seven conceptual visuals for Seville (Artik & Asti) in collaboration with top visual artist Sasha Saharnaya. The key task was to integrate complex CGI flowers into live photos while preserving high-fashion aesthetics and Dune-level cinematic tone. The main challenge was realistic interaction between organic CGI elements and skin/fabric surfaces.

Solution

I built detailed 3D flower models with advanced texturing and subsurface scattering (SSS) for natural rendering. Then I executed high-end compositing: precision keying, rotoscoping, and color matching to fit the original lighting scheme. At the moodboard stage, I locked a warm sandy palette and cinematic eye accents inspired by Denis Villeneuve visual language.

Result

The final output is a set of seven unique images, each treated as a complete digital artwork. The visual quality led the artist's management team to select one frame as the official music release cover. The case successfully merged traditional fashion photography with advanced end-to-end post-production.

Frames: 7 final images
Format: High-End Image Set
Outcome: Official release cover selected
