i am




The I am Nikon campaign was developed at Jung von Matt/Spree, Berlin, by creative director/art director Christian Kroll, creative director/copywriter Peter Gocht, art director Javier Suarez Argueta, copywriter Bjorn Ingenleuf, creative director digital Fabien Sax, managing director/creative Wolfgang Schneider, managing director Andreas Freitag, planning director Julia Peuckert management supervisor Ilan Schafer, senior account manager Sirkka Koster, junior account manager Jutta Caballero, social media manager Barbara Scholtysik, senior account manager Nikolina Micic, head of design Mareike Geisker, producer Matthias van de Sand.
Julia Peuckert, planning director at Jung von Matt, says, We feel that this campaign really gets to the core of how photography is used today: in a playful, social and self-expressing way. By using real people in real situations we hope our audience will recognise itself and will feel inspired by Nikon.
Filming was shot by director Ralf Schmerberg via Trigger Happy Productions, Berlin, with director of photography Daniel Gottschalk.
The print advertising campaign was shot by Sven Jacobsen on location in South Africa using Nikon D3X camera, with NIKKOR 35mm, 85mm and 28-70mm zoom lenses.

Music is Welcome Home, Son, by Radical Face. Sound was designed and mixed at Audioforce, Berlin.

  1. Great fit with the quote!

    Was a masterstroke of a campaign by Nikon back then. Remember it as one that seemed to attempt taking the deeper philosophy and passion of photography to the masses. I think 'I am' aspired to give new photographers an even more personal connect with each shot.

    Great find Asmita and Manjusha!

    (Btw, not that it matters much, but I am a Canon ;-)

  2. I used to rarely wish and barely try
    But some voice in me used to cry
    It would show me the sky
    And ask me, " why don't you try?"
    I used to say I am a bit shy
    I do not have wings to fly
    The voice inside me used to sigh
    But it never bid me good bye.
    Then one day I understood what the voice in me was trying to imply
    I just decided to let out a battle cry
    And embark on a journey and give it a try
    To do the things that I rarely wish and barely try...

    1. Trupti, I am sure this poem started with the thought ... I wish I were a poet, and ended with I am a poet! Simple lines, with a lot of meaning!
