RUSTY HILL + CARL'S JR + HARDEE'S

August 4, 2023

Photographer/Director Rusty Hill is known for having 'lifetime' clients and relationships. One of his longtime clients recently moved to CKE Restaurants to help the rebrand of Carl's Jr and Hardee's. The transformation of these two iconic brands ranges from light and airy elegance for Hardee's to dark and dramatic mystique for Carl's Jr.

Rusty and his crew took on the challenge of transforming these iconic brands, and capturing the essence of each brand, translating their culinary stories into stunning images.
