βYou make me blushβ - Campaign creative direction for @glowdeposit beauty brand.
Conception, mood-boarding, storyboard, shot-list and on-set direction by me
Luxury brands make sales without sounding and appearing sale-sy.
Build the world, induce a feeling/emotion into your audience and allow them compete to belong to it by purchasing your product.
Thatβs how luxury brands makes sales.
Two features on @GrixMagazine and @TheRoseNG
So thankful β€οΈππ¦π

I desire to work with more luxury and premium brands who are deeply rooted in storytelling. Not the ones thatβll still go ahead with their βWEβRE LIVE !!β When itβs time to launch the campaign.
I want brands who are soaked up in storytelling and ready to go above and beyond

A little throwback to 2024. π€β¨
BIGGEST DEJI OLUOKUN gave me and two other amazing creatives @BigSalamii an assignment to develop and execute a brand shoot for Mmenim Jewelry. It was a group project that challenged us to bring our ideas together and create something AMAZING.
Itβs fashion week season and Iβll like to collaborate with designers/stylist for looks to the show.
Something very street style, minimalist with very interesting cuts and silhouettes.
Colors between blacks, whites and and blues.
Something that says bad and bougie but streetsty

Thatβs how you do a beauty campaign fr
βYOU MAKE ME BLUSHβ - A Campaign for @glowdeposit beauty and skincare brand.
Some feelings don't hide β they radiate.
This campaign redefines blush as a visible language of emotion and power.
From soft desire to quiet dominance, translating internal frequencies into sculptural, liquid-like radiance.
Skin is the canvas. Color is the emotion.
You donβt wear blush. You feel it.
