Emil Pabon & Studio Alfons Meyer for Kipling

Kipling was looking for all things merry… in July! Fresh snowfall, evergreen trees, hot cocoa, cookies, and gifts. We packed up and headed to the Italian mountains to experience the holiday season in a tank top. Props were key, and ski lift passes mandatory. Photographer Emil Pabon and directors duo Studio Alfons Meyer did an excellent job of capturing the art of gift-giving, frolicking in the snow, and the overall holiday atmosphere. Both talents were already familiar with team Kipling which made for a smooth production and shared vision. We had a busy schedule of two shooting days both photo and film taking place in four locations in the picturesque Courmayeur area. One location, set in the midst of a beautiful summery field, with grand mountains as a backdrop, was completely transformed into a winter wonderland thanks to our skilled effects team. During the shoot, four cute puppers happened to pass by on their daily walk and were invited to join us on set. Talking about boosting set morale!
