Vic Mensa, and Why He Deserves a Second Chance (2019) ↗  



Rahul Gowthaman
Collaborative, intentional, and decisive Art Director with 6+ years experience leading creative work and project management across culture-led and lifestyle brands, with a strong instinct for credibility, taste, and timing in audience engagement. 
 Brings a deep understanding of campaign building, brand storytelling, and creative art direction. Demonstrating a proven track record of partnering with cross-functional teams to align business objectives with artistic vision. 
Led high visibility campaigns with high budgets while managing influencer and artist relationships. Delivered culturally relevant work that drives measurable growth in audience, interactions, and sale.






Concepted and photographed multiple multi-location capaign for PUMA spanning street, interior, and outdoor environments. Scouted and selected locations to ground the product in a specific cultural moment rather than generic lifestyle context.




Shot on 35mm film to bring a documentary warmth and authenticity to the campaign imagery, leaning away from over-produced aesthetic common in sportswear advertising. Conceptualized using natural lighting for majority of the shoot to let the enviornment dictate the mood. The result is a campaign that feels lived in and culturally grounded. 



Directed multiple talents, including Winnie Harlow, across both shoots, guiding posing, energy, and expression to feel natural and character-driven rather than posed. Oversaw styling decisions on set to ensure each look read correctly for its enviorment. Maintained product visibility and brand legibility without letting it override the editorial feel of each frame.
