The brief

Ashmore asked for a sixty-second spot about people who choose the cold. We found a club of year-round sea swimmers and filmed their morning ritual: the walk down, the first breath in the water and the long, warm silence afterwards.

The campaign ran online and in cinemas across the winter season, with a set of cutdowns for social.

On the shoot

Four dawns on an exposed stretch of coastline, with a water housing camera in the sea and a long lens on the cliffs. Fog did half the lighting for us.
