At the request of Bruce Nachbar of Empire Entertainment Japan, I was in charge of producing the video announcing BVLGARI's latest project, a collaboration with world-renowned architect Tadao Ando.

BVLGARI x Tadao Ando
When photographing the chronograph for the groundbreaking Octofinissimo Collection, I was keenly aware of Ando's homage to Ando's aesthetics, which characterize monolithic concrete shapes and dramatic transitions between light and shadow. With the themes of modern and streamlined line as the theme of the art direction, the video served as a visual link connecting Tadao Ando's architecture, Octofinissimo's design, and the world's first photograph of a black hole, which was the source of inspiration for Ando's watch design.
