Location Case Study – Iconic Multi-Area Fashion Location

It is an amazing coincidence that only one week after our photo shoot for Superdry, we were yet again shooting in the Kelenföldi Power Plant, on this occasion for the professional Japanese sport brand called Mizuno. Previously we had never had two productions in the same location within such a short time, but the fantastically unique and eerie Kelenföldi Power Plant is such a much-loved fashion shoot location. The diversity of its areas - ranging from the Art Deco control room to the crumbling corridors - enables all photographers to find a space that sparks their imagination.

Creative Collaboration – Brand in Unconventional Environment

The photography crew fell in love with the rusty, industrial, and yet futuristic atmosphere straightaway. The spooky passageways with old control cabinets that are nicknamed “mummy-corridors” were their favourite special location. Their concept was to place the brand, and handball itself, in a new and unusual environment, which is why they broke away from typical sports locations and chose to shoot somewhere unusual.

Shoot Logistics – Athlete Availability & Time Constraints

Since Mizuno is the Hungarian Veszprém handball team’s official sponsor, they asked three of the team’s key members to model for their latest photoshoot for a new collection of handball shoes and accessories. The Olympic gold medallist William Accambray, the two-time Champions League winner László Nagy, as well as the World Championship silver medalist Kent Robin Tønnesen travelled especially from Veszprém to Budapest for the photoshoot, where, in addition to the photos, they also shot various film footage and interviews. Speed and fluidity were the main aspects of the process of the photo shoot, because the sportsmen were only available for three hours.

Case Highlight – Athlete Performance in Unusual Atmosphere

It was an extraordinary experience for us to see in person how these world-class handball players were passing the ball to each other in this abandoned, silent and sometimes spooky building.

We’d love to hear about your new project and how we can be of service to you.
