Portrait nominee

A creative photoshoot for Shinchan, a longboarder from Hong Kong. The art team drew design elements from the Japanese manga Crayon Shin-chan, using its graphics as the central theme to stage scenes in the photography studio and recreate the manga’s visual effects. To incorporate longboarding elements and reflect the athletic image of a longboarder, the team shot images with a rear-curtain shutter flash to add a strong sense of dynamism.
