After discussion with team and online research, scouting trip started based on different type of miniature indoor plants, flowers, terrarium at floral shops, there was one interesting item spotted which is a clock decorated with mini plants on top at Japan Home store.
I did several test shots at different locations such as photo studio, furniture shops, roof top balcony where skylines are, as well as different setting, using my mobile phone.
Sketch 1 : Clock
Sketch 2 : Terrarium
"Clock" has better visual impact, nice integration with plants, which naturally shows the growth and developing with time goes by meaning, which is align with "Thrive" coverline.
Recce was done, previously and decided to go at roof top garden where natural lights are the best for cover shoot but distracted by drizzle for a while on actual day shoot. Time's limited for everyone and carry to meet deadlines. At the end, the cover result is positive
after adding , styling with cover lines.
