Concept campaigns for three fictional skincare brands, developed to demonstrate range. Real clients welcome.
Why this exists
Most small skincare brands have a product they're proud of and imagery that doesn't show it. Phone photos, white-backdrop product shots, the occasional flat lay on a marble slab borrowed from Pinterest.
Meanwhile the brands you're competing with — the ones with the campaigns you screenshot for moodboards — have access to a creative process you don't. Art direction. Editorial photographers. Stylists. Shoot days that cost more than your last production run.
That gap has always existed because editorial imagery has always been expensive. AI changes the maths. The thinking is the same; the production cost isn't.
What you get
Brand Visual Audit — £400
10 campaign-ready images built around your brand. Hero shots, texture, ingredient, and lifestyle — a complete starter set. The lowest-risk way to see what your brand could look like before committing to anything bigger.
Campaign Drop — £750
20 images across one or two visual directions. Ideal for a product launch, seasonal campaign, or a full refresh of your social and website imagery. One round of revisions included.
All work delivered high resolution, properly formatted, ready to publish. Ongoing monthly arrangements available on request.
The thinking
Good editorial imagery isn't about the tool. It's about what you ask of it.
Every image is built from the same questions a creative director would ask on a shoot: where's the light coming from, what's the surface doing, how does the product sit in the frame, what mood are we building. AI is the production method. The art direction is human.
That's the difference between imagery that sells your product and imagery that looks like everyone else's.
