Project Description

I led the Art Direction and photography for Kaft’s 2026 design T-shirt collection, including both released and upcoming pieces.

The core idea was to create striking portraits using a single dramatic light source. By simplifying the lighting setup, I constructed an atmosphere that shifts the focus from the model to the design itself. Background and styling were intentionally reduced to eliminate visual noise.

Within this controlled and minimal visual language, the illustrations and graphics on the T-shirts became the central subject. The lighting sculpted the faces while simultaneously revealing the surface texture and details of the prints.

The result is a bold yet restrained visual identity — a series that lets the design speak without distraction.
