LIBERTYVILLE, Ill--27 Apr--PRNewswire-AsiaNet/InfoQuest
Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) commissioned David LaChapelle, world-renowned photographer and director, to capture the highly anticipated colored PEBL(TM) handsets in a whimsical photo shoot. These images, exclusively available to support the public relations activities, bring together one of the world's most unique and well-known photographers with one of today's most innovative and visionary brands.
LaChapelle, whose approach to color is one of the most distinctive in the visual arts, has created four characteristically imaginative scenarios, each inspired by one of the four PEBL color hues: orange, blue, green and pink.
The concept casts the handsets as stunning gems on display in a high-security museum, filled with ancient artifacts from the natural world. Taken at LaChapelle's Los Angeles studio in March 2006, the four shots depict a striking female thief trying to steal the precious PEBL Colors. LaChapelle creates a dark and mysterious imagery for the set, which accentuates the handset's inspirational vibrancy and design sophistication. Each picture discloses a little more of the entire story:
