Transcript

The era of casual aesthetics is over. We're all art directors now. Let's talk about the art direction of everything. I saw these wedding photos shot by a fashion photographer that blew me away. They reminded me of this new visual era we live in. Brides follow accounts like Lensel and bring inspo and concepts to their wedding photographers. The office selfie has been elevated to a personal branding art. Having a partner or friend that takes really good photos of you actually puts you in the position to make more money. It is an asset. That one photo wall in a retail space can be the difference between a store that goes viral or quietly closes. So if you're building something, it's worth thinking through the art direction universe around it. One that includes objects because a glass coffee bag or a strategic bouquet can become a visual anchor. Concepts because your audience needs a reason to look again. Themes to give your visuals coherence over time. And composition because that carousel hook shot needs to stop the scroll. Clayton from Sprezza and I sat down with some of our art director friends in New York in a new YouTube video with Air talking about all these concepts.
