Danube Shoot

9 days / Viking Modi
Vienna to Budapest

Viking’s Danube itineraries are some of the company’s most storied routes, and this shoot was built to update the brand’s visual library across nine days from Vienna to Budapest. Production covered stills, video, aerial drone, and FPV—on board the ship and at locations including Schönbrunn Palace, the Gellert Spa, and the Budapest Great Market Hall. My focus was talent direction throughout—working to ensure people felt present in the locations rather than posed against them.
