The brief came in with a direction: 80s vibe, synthpop energy. The reference world was neon, geometry, hard light. We worked across two environments, shooting both on location and in studio, moving between available light and a controlled setup that let us project shape and colour directly onto the body. The triangle became a recurring motif, fragmenting the face, splitting the frame, appearing in highlight and shadow. Location gave us rawness; studio gave us precision. The final edit drew from both.
Camille Marchadour, who performs as Cami, is a French multidisciplinary artist based in Sweden. Trained in ballet, contemporary and jazz in Paris at the Académie Internationale de la Danse and the Institut de Formation Professionnel Rick Odums, then at Codarts University for the Arts in Rotterdam, he has been a dancer at Skånes Dansteater since 2015. Alongside his dance work he makes music: electronic, synthetic, somewhere between electro pop and the experimental. The album these images were made for sits in that territory: 80s-inflected synthpop, dense with texture and atmosphere.
The images were used across album artwork, press material, and the digital campaign surrounding the release. Cami's practice cuts across dance, music, and digital art. The photographs needed to carry all of that: something physical and electronic at the same time, warm and cold in the same frame.
