PROJECT CONTEXT
I met Aaron in November 2023, as i contacted him to come take pictures to take pictures of him in Paris. It seemed like a very fluid collaboration, as we have a similar vision for visuals, based on ambiant lighting and etheral feeling.
In June 2024, he contacted me again to come take picture at Cercle Odyssey by Cercle Festival for his first Live Session.

Beyond the music itself, what struck me during our exchanges was Aaron’s human presence : his kindness, openness, and the sincerity with which he approaches both people and creation.
What initially started as a classic visual collaboration (photography and live content capture) slowly evolved into something deeper.
SPARK OF THE PROJECT
During Cercle Odyssey, I filmed several moments without a predefined project or format in mind.
With distance and editing, they formed the beginning of a narrative space.
I built a first pilot episode :
"The World Of : Aaron Hibell - A First Step Inside" a short film conceived as an entry point into Aaron’s world.

PILOT EPISODE
The project would be a long-term visual endeavor designed to explore identity, artistic origins, creative processes, emotional landscapes, and personal reflections.
THE GOAL
The goal of this project is to increase the chances of introducing him beyond his music, to elevate his image, and to create a strong emotional connection between the artist and his music, strengthening engagement on his platforms.
It marks the beginning of Kruzoe Studio as a creative entity focused on narrative direction and visual storytelling.
