Shot by famous fashion photographer Steven Meisel, ‘Screen Tests‘ for Diesel’s Autumn/Winter 2012 campaign is an extenuation of the brand’s theme of ‘portraits for successful living.’ The ads feature young, contemporary models interacting in playful settings, and just as the campaign name suggests, they pose as if they are auditioning for a role, using attitude and props to aid their performance. As the ads start to move, viewers are able to engage with the models, to feel as if they are actually present watching the fashion shoot, rather than merely looking at a still ad.
The photographs have been turned into cinemagraphs—unlike their jumpy cousin the animated GIF, the movement in the photograph is more refined and subtle, confined to one distinct area. In one shot, a model exuberantly kicks her feet back and forth, while her face is fixed in the same defiant expression. In another, a model smirks as she captures a Polaroid of her still companion.
With the use of cinemagraphs, Diesel is taking advantage of a relatively new photography technique; in early 2011, Kevin Burg and Jamie Beck were the first photographers to coin and use the ‘cinemagraph’ technique. Diesel’s cinemagraphs will be used throughout stores and on digital billboards this fall.
