The challenge
How do you give marine hardware a visual identity people recognize beyond the boat?

What changed
Finished product photographs and Peter’s parts-built fish illustration give the marine hardware a recognizable look across product imagery and apparel.
Scope & engagement details

Water, polished metal, and black backgrounds gave Gemlux’s product photography a distinct look. Latches and hinges sit among bubbles; outrigger mounts carry beads of water. Peter’s shirt design takes the same hardware in another direction: a fish assembled entirely from Gemlux parts. Product launch pages, film, and aerial content were also part of the engagement.

Inside the experience

The product becomes the image.

01

Put the product in water.

The latch and friction hinge are photographed against black, with bubbles framing the polished metal.

02

Light every detail.

Water droplets, controlled highlights, and deep shadows bring the outrigger mount’s shape and finish into view.

03

Build the fish from the parts.

Peter Legeza’s apparel illustration turns Gemlux’s own hardware into a billfish, carrying the product identity onto a shirt.

Original apparel design

Every part.
One fish.

Peter Legeza assembled a billfish from Gemlux’s own marine hardware. The parts become the illustration, and the illustration becomes the shirt.
