The brief
Nike Swim needed stills and short video of Abdoul Niane that read as premium without a busy layout doing the work. Editorial, not catalogue.
Approach
One strong directional source, a lot of negative space, and confident pacing in the short reels. Studio for the portraits, then deck and water for the action frames. Shot on RED with Zeiss primes; stills and motion from the same setups so the set cuts together on a feed.
