But rather than put a can of Coke front and center, the campaign was an altogether more subtle affair.<\/p>\n<p>Frederik took inspiration from two very different visual sources, Where\u2019s Waldo? and Schindler\u2019s List. Like the aforementioned puzzle-book character, the viewer would have to work hard to find the Coca-Cola element in the street photography.<\/p>\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The best camera deals, reviews, product advice, and unmissable photography news, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<p>And while the photographs would be black-and-white, selective color would be used for the drinks company\u2019s famous red branding, with Frederik citing perhaps the most famous use of color-popping ever: the girl in the red coat in Steven Spielberg\u2019s harrowing and moving wartime epic.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn&#8217;t your average street photography shoot, though. Frederik worked with a producer who handled various logistics, including contracts for the people photographed. The taco stands also received a commission.<\/p>\n<p>Frederik\u2019s hard work is exhibited at Oslo train station, with the film commercial also running on Norwegian national television. The campaign has also been shortlisted at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you watch the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g-ZMdxLq-0o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g-ZMdxLq-0o\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\">full video<\/a> for some fantastic insight into Frederik\u2019s process.
