'There's more to a picture', says Sony's ad for Alpha DSLRs

Sony India has rolled out a TV and digital led campaign for its Alpha DSLR range of cameras. Created by Hakuhodo Percept, the campaign also comprises an online community for Alpha users and photography enthusiasts - www.alpha.sonyapps.in. ‘There’s more to a picture’ is the commercial’s tagline.

The film features Priyankar, a young photographer. He describes how he loves taking pictures, but how he had never realized how photography would change his perspective on how he views the world. He shot his mother’s hands once, and through the photo taken by the Sony Alpha, he could clearly see the creases that were etched in her palms over time; each line told of a sacrifice made out of love. He says that it is a picture that made him see what he couldn’t through his naked eye. The TVC also highlights the new Sony Alpha community website.

It showcases Priyankar’s interaction with photographer Santosh Verma, including places they visited and pictures they shot during the course of their day spent together. Sony claims that the online community is a platform for like-minded photography enthusiasts to discover and share their stories.
