Project Overview

A celebration of bold self-expression

Andaz wanted a campaign true to their motto, to ‘be like no one is watching’. Amplifying that essence, encouraging authentic individuality and creative expression. Letting those core values take flight and turn heads. With “Ruffle Some Feathers,” we set out to capture the spirit of Andaz: bold, vibrant, and unapologetically individual. Drawing on the striking colours and freedom of birds of paradise, this campaign spotlighted a cast of creatives who embody self-expression, turning each frame into a living, breathing work of art.
