NEWS BLOG MAURICIO CANDELA: Real Flavor, Real People. Candela?s Fearless Vision for Inca Kola
GoSeeIn collaboration with McCann Peru, VML Peru, iconic soft drink brand Inca Kola, and design agency Epoch London, Candela was entrusted with creating a vibrant and extensive visual library for Peru’s most beloved beverage.
Over the course of five days in Lima, the production spanned multiple locations, featured a diverse range of talent, and explored countless creative variations. The result is a bold collection of imagery that will appear across digital platforms, print publications, and large-scale billboards nationwide.
As a lifestyle photographer specializing in beverage and food photography, Candela infused the project with a fresh, authentic energy. The shoot blended rich storytelling with striking visual techniques—hard shadows, occasional on-camera flash, wide-angle perspectives, and dynamic framing—to evoke motion, spontaneity, and genuine human connection.
The final library showcases both product-driven images and lifestyle moments, reflecting the true spirit of Inca Kola’s audience and celebrating the bond between people, food, and the brand.
“This project is one I hold close to my heart. The client gave me the freedom to shoot in a way that reflects my personal style—raw, authentic, and far from overly staged. Strong contrasts, natural imperfections, and everyday faces make this a fearless campaign that truly connects with real people.” — Candela
Below is a curated selection from the shoot, offering a glimpse into the diversity, creativity, and authenticity that defined this campaign.
