Overview
Luna came to us wanting to create an image library they could use for the coming two years to create social posts and marketing materials that would solidify their brand’s style and unify its aesthetic across touch points.
They had a broad idea of where they wanted to take the brand visually in the coming years–which was a departure from the style they’d developed until that point–and a rough idea of the deliverables they thought they’d need to craft the transition.
Our task became turning their broad strokes into something concrete, and designing a path forward, which included concepting various lifestyle and product scenes, and executing the creation of images that would become part of their brand library.
Up to that point, Luna relied heavily on influencer and user generated content to fill gaps in their social feeds. This was great for social proof, but not for consistency of aesthetic.
They also wanted to focus their marketing more towards holistic wellness and savoring small moments, but they didn’t want the look and feel of their brand to change completely overnight, so it was important the imagery we created could drive toward this new focus while fitting in with their existing brand image.
Approach
We landed on an asset library concept that would involve three facets–lifestyle images, product images, and iso flatlay images.
We put together a pre-production deck outlining the nuts and bolts of what the asset library would consist of, and detailed references for the look and feel of props, locations, and talent.
For the lifestyle images, we planned a photo shoot at a private location that could serve as multiple real-world locations.
The product images would be shot over two days in a studio, and would use many of the same props as the lifestyle shoot to evoke the same look and feel.
The iso flatlay images would be shot on a second set alongside the product shoot, consisting of individual props and products shot on a flat grey surface that can be separated out and used to create whatever scenes the Luna team wanted to create. The finished comps created using these elements are basically collages that look like real-life scenes.
