01

Context

Laura Bond is an Edinburgh-based jewellery brand selling into an international luxury market. The brand approached the studio in its second year with a vision to transform its digital presence and build a visual language that could speak to a rapidly growing audience abroad.

What started as a focused campaign became a long-running creative partnership across multiple seasons and platforms. The brand needed imagery that worked for press and for consumers at the same time, without losing its commitment to craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Understanding the brand before shooting it

Laura Bond's move from handmade pieces to an international presence needed a visual strategy that could scale while keeping the brand's intimate relationship with its audience intact. Before any camera work, we built a working understanding of the brand's foundations.

What the strategy was built on

  • Core brand values and aesthetics
  • Target market aspirations
  • The competitive landscape
  • Growth objectives

Creative vision — precision, then desire

The creative direction focused on the balance between contemporary design and timeless elegance: a visual language built to communicate with precision and cultivate desire.

Each shoot was planned to

  • Show craftsmanship through macro detail
  • Create lifestyle imagery that stays aspirational but approachable
  • Produce versatile content for multiple platforms
  • Hold consistent brand storytelling season to season

How the work is made

Pre-production. Every campaign begins with extended planning, mood boarding and creative development, developed closely with the Laura Bond team so each detail aligns with the season's objectives.

Shoot day. Production covers lighting, composition, talent direction and styling — planned shots captured alongside the unplanned moments that usually end up carrying the narrative.

Post-production. Retouching is handled with restraint: the finish has to meet a luxury standard while keeping the jewellery honest and the skin real.

Campaigns are deliberately developed rather than repeated, so the brand doesn't become stagnant across seasons.

Campaigns and collaborations

SS21. The Laura Bond team briefed a creative direction and shoot for the spring/summer collection. We delivered a full-service package — styled campaign imagery plus video for social — built around the new styles.

Stylist magazine. For the brand's initial launch we worked on a collaboration with Stylist, whose editors recommend a curated collective of independent brands. Laura Bond was selected, and we creative-directed an AW shoot to be featured on the platform.

Seasonal work has continued since, including the SS 22 assets shown here.
