I was delighted to be asked to shoot a Christmas campaign for Schweppes by design agency Epoch. The concept revolved around a Christmas cracker with the strap line of “Open up a cracker this Christmas!” and a secondary piece with “Let it snow, Let it flow, Let it snow.”.

To go about creating the visuals for this, we needed to create a set of images that offered maximum flexibility after the shoot, as we were shooting remotely in the studio, screen sharing as we went for sign off on things. Such is the way of working these days, but this was back in May and the country was still adjusting to the lockdown and the ‘new normal”. This meant that sourcing some of the props and items that we needed for the shoot took a little longer so we needed to be flexible as to when we could actually shoot. Despite a few little challenges with deliveries and stock levels, we got there in the end!
