Self-initiated concept for Aura-Soma, not commissioned

The challenge

Aura-Soma organizes its whole catalogue by color, so color is the product, not a detail.

The problem

Generic studio shots flatten that. Every bottle reads as the same bottle in a different tint, and the meaning of each formula disappears.

The solution

Each scene is art-directed to the product's own color: Red Pomander with roses and cinnamon, Sapphire Blue on sodalite with jasmine, Equilibrium on raw amethyst with lavender. Props, surfaces and light all follow the formula.

The result

A set where the color reads as a system, generated and retouched without a studio, a shoot or samples.
