dissecting my work
Being a story about maternity, we stablished a colour palette of pink, blue and yellow as our predominant colours with tonic hues in beige, brown and green.
We always have a duality in the story: a warm, positive side of maternity, depicted with soft fabric, candles, fun patterns; and a negative side, represented with the absence of elements and cold textures.
Main sets: Girlfriend messy apartment | Bar | Kid's bedroom | Kitchen | Living room | Bathroom
*No set was used "as it was"; though it was a low budget production, I believe in emptying the room and sourcing everything until every element in frame contributes to the story.
