chase jarvis naked juice
Background Story. This image was a part of a global campaign — print, OOH and digital - for Naked Juice in 2011.

Might have caught this earlier, but here's a fascinating look at iconic portraits that were originally shot in black and white that have since been colorized in Photoshop.

These guys/gals look like a bunch... read more ›
