High-End Editorial Production in Trapani & Castellammare

Courage Production managed the service production for the 'Big D' issue cover in Western Sicily.

The creative brief from Brachfeld required a stark contrast: A-List fashion talent (Karim Sadli, Jane How) set against the raw, unfiltered textures of Trapani and Castellammare del Golfo.

We scouted locations that embodied the authentic "rough feeling" of the island, steering clear of polished tourist tropes to deliver a gritty, cinematic backdrop.
