Death Metal Scarf

This project features product photography for a scarf designed by NYC-based lettering artist, Luis Valencia. This awesome scarf features the entire alphabet rendered in bold, death metal-inspired lettering. We captured the scarf’s edgy essence through two distinct styles: dynamic portrait shots and a floating series, each highlighting the unique artistry of the design.
