Ochre — Skin Series

A launch campaign for a fourteen-shade base range, shot to keep texture instead of erasing it.

/ The brief

Ochre's whole proposition was that skin should still look like skin. That ruled out the usual beauty retouch entirely.

We shot on a long lens with a large soft source close in, then graded for undertone rather than brightness. Pores stayed. The client's first note was 'more of that'.
