Candela Captures Inca Kola’s Authentic Lifestyle in a Bold Beverage and Food Photography Campaign
Advertising agencies McCann Peru and VML Peru, together with iconic soda brand Inca Kola and production company Epoch London, trusted Candela to create an extensive photo library for Peru’s leading beverage brand.
The five-day shoot took place in Lima, covering multiple locations, with diverse talent and countless creative variations. The result is a vibrant collection of images that will be featured across digital platforms, print media, and large-scale billboards nationwide.
“This campaign is one of my favorites. The client allowed me to work in a style I truly love: more real, less staged — with strong contrast lighting, imperfect situations, and everyday talent. Essentially, a fearless campaign that feels close to real people.” — Candela
