Polaroid - The Imperfectionists [2023]

Perfection. It’s flawed. Yet we’ve become obsessed with chasing it. The filters. The AI-generation. The pixel-perfect images… But it’s all a trick of the light.

And there are those who see right through it. 

For the flagship launch of the I-2 camera, we told the stories of three "Imperfectionists" (Coco Capitàn, Max Siedentopf, Kotori Kawashima), exploring their photography and creative philosophies.

Design-wise, we let the camera and its results speak for itself, by showcasing the amazing I-2 photography and pairing it with high-end product photography that focused on the specific USPs the camera has to offer. Furthermore, throughout the campaign we included camera settings and played with a bokeh effect on headlines to get the community excited about the manual controls and all the possibilities that would offer.

On Instagram, we dove deeper into our 3 creator’s profiles and work.

On the microsite the camera's unique features were highlighted through amazing engaging and eye-catching animations - alongside our Imperfectionists' photography and stories.

The launch also included several workshops and hands-on POS experiences where the camera could be tested  and explored. Professional photographers were present to provide all the tips and aid with the learning curve.
