GITTI KIDS, shot for gitti, is nail polish for children, photographed the way kids actually play with it. Bottles become binoculars, a pocket stash, a hug-full of treasures. Lemons get balanced, friends cover each other’s eyes, and a hula hoop rolls through the frame. Shot through glass smeared with blue paint, the colour literally comes between us and the kids. Pale studio, lots of yellow, no posing. Just children who are completely in charge of the set.

Colour, play, and a little chaos make it work for beauty, family brands, retail, and social.

GITTI KIDS: campaign photography for gitti’s child-friendly nail polish. Colour, play, and kids in charge of the set. By Chris Abatzis, Berlin.

FOOD AS ART makes food the subject of the picture, not garnish or backdrop. Drawing on Daniel Spoerri’s Eat Art, baroque still life, and the food sculptures of Erwin Wurm, Laila Gohar, and Sarah Illenberger, it treats food as material worth exhibiting, not just eating.

A baguette becomes a can holder, rhubarb stalks lash into a tripod, grapes hang from an ear like jewelry. Food moves onto the body: strawberries as a garter, cherry tomatoes as a pendant, olives as rings, a fork twisted into a hairstyle. The humor is played straight, and nobody in frame seems to notice. None of it is new (butchers once carved blood sausage into swans), it just finds a hungrier audience now.

Food, fashion, sculpture, and design meet on one plate, which is why the idea translates easily to a tech product, a beauty campaign, an agency activation, or a hotel launch.
