Jean-Charles
Debroize must have had a very disturbing childhood, or so you would assume when
you look at these images. He is an Art
director and digital retouching artist for Creative Agency Kerozen based in France. His work may not have universal appeal, but
it is a unique twist in the advertising world, and after all, isn’t that what
advertising is all about. It may inspire
other photographers to challenge the boundaries of their imagination.
Debroize transformed members of his campaign team
into letter people. Not the cute cuddly kind from Sesame Street, but rather
deformed little creatures that might haunt your dreams, but there is something
endearing about these weird little letters with skin, eyes, and hair.
These images are not necessarily
representative of his work generally, but designed for a specific campaign. To create each image, Debroize shaped
each letter with modeling clay, then he created flesh-based tones in Photoshop
based off the design team members who agreed to have their features turned into
a letter to spell out the company name. Debroize explains, “We shot pictures of
the letters and of the design team’s faces. Then I made a mapping of skin
textures on the letters with Photoshop and added the hair and the eyes. It was
not a problem to show an unflattering image of us. We laughed a lot making
this.”
