Authorial photography applied to branding.

Inspired by Chema Madoz’s conceptual imagery, this authorial photography project explores how brand values can be translated into visual metaphors. The campaign reinterprets Barilla’s ideas of home, care, and family through a simple symbolic composition.

Concept

A nest made of Barilla egg pasta cradles two eggs. The project combines Barilla’s values of trust, continuity, and affection with Chema Madoz’s visual language of metaphor and simplicity. The claim, Taste of Home, reinforces the emotional dimension of the image, positioning the product as more than food: a symbol of care, connection, and shared moments.

Design

The photograph was created through a handcrafted still-life composition using Barilla pasta and quail eggs. A centered composition, neutral background, and monochromatic post-production treatment reinforce the conceptual nature of the image, drawing inspiration from Chema Madoz’s visual language. Influenced by Barilla’s advertising heritage of the 1960s, the art direction positions photography as the core storytelling medium while celebrating a distinctive authorial vision.
