Torn Between Heavens | Summer 2025

Creative Direction | Photography | Videography

Brief: Close To Heaven needed editorial-style content to elevate CTH from Instagram streetwear brand to a recognizable label with distinct visual identity. The collection's theme centered on spiritual duality - being caught between earthly struggles and heavenly aspirations.

Approach: Developed a concept around isolation and vastness - shooting in open fields at golden hour and dusk to create an ethereal, film-like aesthetic. Directed on-location with natural lighting to achieve blown-out highlights and dreamy atmosphere that aligned with the "777 Close To Heaven" brand concept. Shot both clean product imagery for e-commerce and heavily stylized editorial content for social media.

Deliverables: 20+ final images inclduing product and editorial, five short-form social videos for Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook ads, content strategy for launch campaign.

Results: Content from this shoot generated 120k+ views across social platforms and became the visual direction the company owner wanted to continue. The ethereal aesthetic established a recognizable brand identity that differentiated CTH in the streetwear space.
