With Laundry Service, I worked on Luminous Diamonds, a brand of natural fluorescent diamonds, in the summer of 2021: the brand guidelines, the second phase of the website and a kit of influencer cards. Hard black and white light, one electric blue and contact sheets marked up in blue carry the brand line, follow your inner light.

Frame by frame

In which a photographer's proof becomes a design device.

Unedited frames, borrowed from the way fashion photographers edit, marked up in blue and used across the feed, decks and print. The same device frames the presentation template.
