Nadav Kander: “Just the right amount of wrong”

For a new campaign for the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Fallon came up with a tagline that perfectly encapsulates the hotel’s swanky combination of hipness and decadence: “Just the right amount of wrong.” Then they commissioned a photographer who could visually express the campaign’s promise of an outlandishly—and stylishly—good time. Specifically, Nadav Kander, who worked with Fallon art director Christy Peacock, copywriter Leon Wilson, and art buyer Jason Hall.

Here’s a look at two images from the campaign for Cosmopolitan—which made Condé Nast Traveler’s 2011 “Hot List” for top new hotels—plus some highlights of Nadav’s advertising photography, including campaigns for Hyundai, Cruzan rum, Absolut, Orbit, Nike, Farmers insurance, and Powerade.
