WESTERN UNION

Holiday Campaign

The idea for this project was to capture holiday scenes with folks in 5 cities around the world, featuring scenes for Christmas, Diwali, and Ramadan. Western Union is synonymous with a global customer base, and representing as many of those folks as possible was a key component to this project. We told 3 different stories about families in different parts of the world connecting for the holidays.

I love travel work, but we were working with a significant caveat on this project – we weren’t travelling to any of those 5 cities…we had to shoot it all in 3 days, in Vancouver… tough one! An absolutely epic production design team took on the challenge of creating these 5 visually distinct locations, all in one city. Incredible work from those folks. 

The main delivery for the project was a series of ads, directed by Indigo Bates and shot by Ian Rigby. I was on the job to shoot campaign stills.

Infinitely thankful to work alongside such an exceptionally talented team on this job.
