Photography Project

ART DIRECTION, ACQUISITION & SALES
CASE STUDY / PRODUCTION & STRATEGY
IDAN WIZEN — 2009-2024
Challenge: Running a 15-year artistic project takes far more than creation. It means recruiting participants at scale, producing and post-processing thousands of images, designing coherent collections with distinct visual identities, and selling the work across multiple channels — all while holding a strong art direction and sustained profitability.
Solution: A full pipeline from art direction to sales: acquisition through targeted ad campaigns, optimized photo production, and multi-channel sales (gallery, e-commerce, direct commissions). More than 3,000 participants, 10+ collections, 60+ international awards.
