I was lucky enough to get to be The Location Manager on the JD Sports Christmas 2024 Campaign “Family” for Stills for The London Leg - featuring Maya Jama, Chunkz and Others - Shot by Theo Cottle.
The series of outdoor executions with shots of actual families and talent that feature in the film. The photographs capture intimate moments of companionship from friends to new born babies to a pet dog. The outdoor artfully crops in on these images with a single headline on each simply stating - ‘Family’.
The images were shot by Theo Cottle - a documentary and fashion photographer and director based in London. The outdoor work will run up and down the country including hero sites in London, Manchester and across Europe.
The TVC was directed by Lovesong Directors, Elliot Power and Samaneh Aminzadeh who I have worked with on several projects previously and they are a dream! I also assisted Kim with the scout on the TVC - This one felt really special.
