Taste Test
OPPO Find X10 Ultra
I started with a simple product image and wanted to see how far I could push it without losing what makes the phone feel real.
I worked on the visual direction, composition, lighting, reflections, color balance, depth, and fine details. I also used Adobe Illustrator to refine the graphic elements and bring the overall composition together.
The real challenge wasn’t adding more effects.
It was finding the right balance between technology and human creativity — keeping the phone authentic while giving the image a stronger personality.
Skills used:
Adobe Illustrator · Visual Composition · Art Direction · Lighting & Shadow · Color Correction · Retouching · Detail Enhancement · Creative Concept Development

What happens when propaganda designed to erase the self gets pointed at the self instead?
Soviet propaganda spent 70 years trying to erase the individual soul in favour of the collective machine. I pointed that exact visual language at the thing it was built to suppress.

Art built to make everyone the same, now used to talk about finding yourself, is a brilliant flip and you described it better than the caption did. The halftone grain and that limited red, navy and cream palette carry the whole message. Sharp eye for sharing this.
