We’ve just finished re-designing the entire corporate design of Artdecotek, a successful lifestyle store in Shanghai. Owned and managed by French-native Sandra Marechal-Dupont, the store sells all kinds of home living products, such as tables, loungers, armchairs and accessories. The project involved designing a new company logo, a new corporate color scheme, product tags, website, invitation and christmas cards, indoor signage and lightboxes.
See below some of the finished work ..
Below some real snapshot of the actual store (Shanghai):
This project underlines Rimagine’s aim to help retailers in China with their entire marketing, be it professional photographs of their store(s) or products, or the layout and production of all sorts of marketing material.
We have just finished our first product promotional video of a beautifully crafted humidor, which was designed by our friend and client Genco Berk. The product is unique in many ways and for sure the most stylish and best way way to store delicate and fine cigars. Overall, we think the video turned out well and we’re pleased with the result. Thanks to photographer and videographer Chad for the creative concept, video recording and editing.

It’s the end of a really nice and productive shooting week! We did some cool industrial shots of hoses, pipes and other stuff for Tucai from Spain, a company which is our client since more than three years. Some shots below.
Besides some industrial photography, we also have done some quite nice shots for Ziva, a brand owned by a British company called Olympic Life. In total, two male and two female models were photographed in our studios (Shanghai). The products are beautiful and have a great feel to it. Have a look..
Also, Chad has created some nice industrial shots of a rather ’standard’ factory in China. Our client Wolverine (a JV between an American and a German company) asked us to produce some ‘dynamic and innovative’ industrial shots of their plant here in Shanghai. The team thinks the shots turned out well..
Furthermore, we are very happy to be able to add another company to our list of top Chinese clients: Matsu, an office furniture producer. Matsu has many Fortune500 companies on its client list and their products are truly of great quality and sustainability. Besides Matsu our list of Chinese clients now also includes China Eastern Airline, and the Shanghai Tobacco Group. Below are a two shots of the shooting.
Last but not least, we worked for the first time for one of the world’s leading home appliance brands – Bosch! They indeed have beautiful products of very high quality, and it’s a pleasure to photograph these.. below are the first shots of a lot to come!
We have just finished a 4,5 day commercial portrait shooting in Shanghai for one of our latest clients, China’s 2nd largest airline company: China Eastern Airline (www.ceair.com).
In total, more than 80 staff members have been invited to a nation-wide casting, of which 20 of the most appropriate looking employees from all over China have been selected.
Under the creative direction of the new Shanghai-based agency Cool Fun, we organized the entire production with multiple casting and pre-production days and the actual 4,5 shooting days. The shoot took place both in our Shanghai photo studio, and on various locations such as at the Hongqiao airport, various airport hangars, tarmacs and offices.
Some behind-the-scenes impressions of the shoot:

Two days ago we were given an assignment to come up with a few sample shots to show a client who is planning on publishing a dessert cook book for the Chinese market. We decided on taking two different approaches. First was a more traditional and simple food photography approach, using soft light and minimal arrangements in our studio in Shanghai.
Second we tried a fun ‘over the top shot’ with vibrant colors and a low angle. The sky and grass were added in by LJ, on of our senior retoucher from our post-production team.
At the end of December, we started working with one of the largest furniture manufacturer of the U.S. The company has one of Asia’s biggest furniture factories near Shanghai in which a big part of the companies products are produced. The factory also has some basic showrooms, in which following room set photographs have been shot by our team. In total, we photographed three different sets on the same room set, but from different angles.
After the shooting, our retouching team in Shanghai digitally composed various backgrounds into the images, giving the impression that a real green scenery like a garden or green space actually was there. In fact, only a simple looking factory wall in the basement of a Chinese factory was visible (see below). We think the composition turned out nice and the effect looks ‘really real’.
Bathstore.com is the largest specialist bathroom retailer in the U.K. with more than 166 stores nationwide. Rimagine was chosen in 2009 to photograph various kinds of bathroom products, including bathtubs, sinks, toilets, shower cabins and faucets. Making full use of both of our photographic studios, five room set shots and more than eighty packshots (=abstracts, cut-out shots) were completed in three days.
These shots are just a few examples of the room set shots which were taken to help our client to showcase their products in the best possible manner.
