Project Details
Client Context
As part of its regional activation program, the Japanese whisky brand Hibiki (Suntory Group) organized an exclusive tasting event at the Michelin-starred restaurant L’Atlantide in Nantes. This exceptional venue, overlooking the Loire River, provided an elegant setting to introduce the nuances of Japanese whisky to a select group of guests.
Our mission: to capture the essence of the event through a series of elegant and authentic images, showcasing both the Hibiki universe, the precision of the service, and the intimate atmosphere of the venue.
Challenges Faced
- Working in a dimly lit environment without disrupting the guests’ experience.
- Representing the sophistication of Hibiki whisky and the venue’s aesthetics without using artificial enhancements.
- Capturing natural moments of interaction in a highly refined setting.
Solutions Provided
- Shooting with ambient light and fast lenses to preserve the warm, subdued atmosphere of the restaurant.
- Carefully composed shots to highlight service details, glassware, bottles, and the gestures of the staff.
- A smooth visual narrative focused on conviviality, brand prestige, and the beauty of the location.
Let’s discuss
Photographing a tasting event in a fine dining restaurant like L’Atlantide requires a sensitive and minimalist approach. For this Hibiki activation, the goal was to capture the brand’s subtlety and the venue’s elegance through images that respect both the atmosphere and the moment. High-end event photography here supports prestige communication: immersive and refined visuals, perfectly suited to the worlds of luxury, gastronomy, and premium spirits.
