The aim of this collaboration with the well-known Barcelona photographic studio Kiwi Bravo was to raise the question of what is physical or real and what is digital. Combining both disciplines, photography and CGI.
We are faced with a game … Did digital photography end with analog photography? Will mobile phones end up with DSLR cameras? Will the 3D digital illustration end with photography? In an era like the current one, in which the technological advances make obsolete what was essential until a week ago, a new element has added to the equation of the future of the generation of visual contents.
The eternal conflict between past and future now arises in the field of photography and there have been two Barcelona studios, one specialized in photography, Kiwi Bravo, and another in Digital Art, Six N. Five, who have presented a project of collaboration with which they intend to reflect on the future of product communication.
