I am

Thought behind the thought

I am ... this, that, many things at the same time. That is what I think I am. And I will make my choices, decide my path and write my own destiny.

And how do I portray myself? If I am a poet, I show my self through words and I use brush strokes if I am a painter! A sculptor though, can portray his self-image through many materials, like these amazing self sculptures done by different artists.

The art

Every material that is used for sculpture making has its own advantages and challenges. Each allows you a totally different form of expression, and one may choose according to the image one wants to create and project.

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.
