Vessel
No mist, no silk, no models looking into middle distance. A bottle on stone, lit once, photographed properly — and a shadow doing most of the work.

The brief
A three-word brief: nothing like perfume. The house had spent a decade building a product that sits closer to a tool than a luxury, and every reference image they had been shown contradicted it.
What we did
We built a set out of one travertine offcut and one hard light, then spent a day moving the light rather than the bottle. The final frame is the twelfth position we tried and the first one where the shadow read as heavy.
The result
One hero still that carried the entire launch — site, print, packaging inserts — plus eleven supporting frames from the same setup.
