Keep Your Eyes Wide Open

Sony Ericsson captures beauty in all its detail

To celebrate the launch of the new Sony Ericsson Satio handset on Vodafone, photographer to the stars Jillian Edelstein has been commissioned to embark on a unique mission to capture the undeniable beauty and individuality of 121 eyes in only 12.1 hours.

Jillian Edelstein is one of the world’s most influential and celebrated portrait photographers, having captured the likes of Woody Allen, Nelson Mandela, Helena Bonham Carter and Blur to name but a few. Eyes Wide Open takes her gaze from the world of famous faces, and looks to delve into the realm of visual communication through the exploration of eyes.

Sony Ericsson searched for people from all over the country and all walks of life to take part in this once in a lifetime opportunity, to be part ofEyes Wide Open. Members of the public won the chance to be involved by visiting www.eyeswideopen.uk.net and uploaded their details and an image of their eyes.

Jillian personally selected the 61 participants and invited them to an invitation only Satio studio photoshoot taking place on the 2nd and 3rd December at Vodafone’s London Westfield store.

Each lucky participant had their eyes captured by Jillian on the new Satio handset and will be immortalised as part of an exclusive online gallery. For those not lucky enough to be chosen or are of a voyeuristic nature, the Satio studio photoshoot will be streamed live at www.eyeswideopen.uk.net.
