CAROLINE TOMPKINS CHANNELS HER OWN EXPERIENCES FOR HINGE CAMPAIGN PICTURING FUNNY FIRST AND SECOND DATES

When Hinge called on Caroline to shoot a campaign focused on funny first and second dates, she found inspiration close to home. “In the treatment process, I pulled from personal photos I’ve taken with my boyfriend and friends, as well as memes that we pass around to one another," explains Caroline. "I always love an opportunity to make an art director laugh.

My boyfriend and I have had dates where we drew portraits of each other, so we created a shot of a couple drawing each other alongside a beautiful pond in Mexico. I’ve also been on dates where the main activity was catching frogs, so we cast about 15 frogs for a couple to ‘catch’ by a creek. I have endless stories from this shoot. It was so much fun.”
