La Bella Verde — Lisbon Sailing Campaign

Project Objectives

Create a series of cinematic vertical and horizontal content pieces for La Bella Verde — an international brand offering premium sailing experiences across multiple countries.

The goal was to capture the essence of their experience — freedom, connection, and atmosphere — while showcasing Lisbon as a vibrant, lifestyle-driven destination.

Project Scope

Creative Direction

Develop a visual narrative centered around:

  • movement and freedom on the water

  • social connection and shared experiences

  • golden hour atmosphere and emotion

Position the brand as more than a service — as a memorable lifestyle experience.

Production

Execute a full production in Lisbon with a lean and efficient team:

  • Director & Videographer: Timo Nieswandt

  • Photographer

Featuring a diverse group of approximately 12 models, including:

  • a family

  • a captain

  • a group of friends

Capture:

  • sailing sequences across the Lisbon coastline

  • lifestyle interactions on board

  • sunset and golden hour moments

  • city backdrop with iconic architecture

Focus on natural interactions and real moments to create authenticity.

Post-Production

Edit a full suite of deliverables including:

  • cinematic vertical short-form videos

  • horizontal commercial pieces

Enhance warm tones and light to emphasize the sunset atmosphere and emotional feel.

Optimize content for both social media performance and brand campaigns.

Results

The project delivers a cohesive content package that reflects La Bella Verde’s identity as a premium, experience-driven brand operating internationally.

The combination of lifestyle storytelling, location, and cinematic visuals creates a strong emotional connection and aspirational appeal.

The production demonstrates the ability to manage multi-model, lifestyle-driven shoots efficiently, while maintaining a high-end visual standard.
