Embracing Natural Beauty with Innovative Lighting & Subtle Storytelling

For Nutrafol x Sephora: Skin, we embarked on a creative journey to showcase the essence of natural beauty. This campaign was all about celebrating authenticity and the power of subtlety.

Sound Design: We meticulously curated the soundscape to match the subtlety of the visuals, selecting a microphone capsule from our Blue Bottle capsule collection to complement the narrator’s voice, adding warmth and depth to the story.

This collaboration reinforced the brand’s commitment to nurturing natural beauty with scientifically-backed solutions. Through our carefully crafted visuals and immersive sound design, the campaign successfully captured the essence of Nutrafol’s spirit and its connection to wellness.
