Supergraphics

01 LightEven, flat daylight or bright fluorescent, so painted colour stays flat and edges stay hard. No dramatic shadows across the graphic; the shape must read as paint, not light.
02 WardrobePlain and sporty: one solid colour per person, drawn from the palette or neutral, so the figure gives scale without competing.

Director's note

The photograph should show the graphic changing the room, so frame the corner or the plane change, not a flat wall. Shoot square and level so painted edges stay straight, and add one person for scale. Keep colour flat and light even. No wide-angle distortion, no murals of things, and no cropping that turns the supergraphic back into a poster.

About this brief

How do I photograph the Supergraphics aesthetic?

Shoot the graphic where it crosses the architecture: a corner, a stair, a doorway, with a person for scale.

The photograph should show the graphic changing the room, so frame the corner or the plane change, not a flat wall. Shoot square and level so painted edges stay straight, and add one person for scale. Keep colour flat and light even. No wide-angle distortion, no murals of things, and no cropping that turns the supergraphic back into a poster.
