Partnership at the heart of the Cosmopolite strategy
We started from ground that already existed: the photographer's natural and professional affinity with two major brands, which we identified early on. The whole financing and distribution strategy for the project was then built around the opportunities those partners opened up
#1 Residency
A week in residence with the artist to shape the book and define the strategy for the project
Time taken to work together, and to enjoy each other's company
#2 PartnershipsReassessing the photographer's existing partners, Xiaomi and Leica: approach, meetings, then signed partnerships
