For this project, I collaborated with Juha Rinta-aho, a cycling influencer, to create product photos for a gear review published on Kuraläppä, a Finnish cycling media site. The subject was the Restrap Race Hydration Vest, a specialized piece of equipment designed for demanding rides.

The creative direction came from the influencer, who was simultaneously writing the review and wanted the images to illustrate key features of the vest in action. My role was to translate his ideas into strong visual storytelling — ensuring the product was highlighted clearly, while also capturing the context of cycling culture and outdoor use.

Together, we built a set of photos that not only supported the written review but also gave readers a strong visual impression of how the product performs in real conditions. This was a responsive, co-created process where I provided the technical and artistic execution through my lens, while the influencer guided the narrative focus.
