Shoot Logistics – Temporary Railway Platform Closure

This Nikon photo shoot for the ad campaign for its D610 full-frame camera was an absolutely unique project. First, to capture a perfect photo, we closed two platforms at the country’s biggest and busiest railway station.

For this Nikon ad campaign photo shoot we managed to close down the two main platforms of the largest train station in Budapest

Shoot Logistics – Train Schedule Coordination and Timing

The great people who work at the station even changed the timetables for the trains so that we could have two trains on these platforms just for the shoot. And everything had to happen during the crucial 20 minutes of the magic hour.

Case Highlight – Unique Location Feasibility for Global Campaign

Before Nikon Asia and the Singaporean production company found us, they were searching all over the world for the perfect location: a train station that was not only perfect in style, but one where it was possible to close down platforms at the right time. All this required an unimaginable amount of organization. This shoot probably couldn’t have happened in any other country in the world.
