SELENE
Quiet Light
On-model + creative direction for the Tennis Bracelet and Bezel collection. In the spirit of @fotoprodukkatalog — clean editorial catalog, bright on-model close-ups, the product as the quietest hero in the frame.
Sport Editorial — cool, athletic, refined
Mood
Hands and wrists in motion. Court as the canvas. The bracelet is a quiet glint between racquet strings and skin — present, never loud.
Lighting
Bright soft daylight. Slight haze, no hard shadows. 45° soft key + bounce fill. Cool white balance (~5500K).
Wardrobe / Talent
Minimal. White or pastel activewear. Hair pulled back. No competing jewelry. Skin clean, brows soft.
Catalog Still Life — quiet, weightless, luxurious
Mood
Solitaire as hero. Pure light. Treat each piece like a small architectural object — glass, fabric, paper — surfaces that catch and release the stone.
Lighting
Soft diffused window light. Bright key, low contrast. Add one specular pinpoint to wake the diamond. White balance neutral.
Surfaces / Props
Blue suede, clear glassware, white textured paper, dusty velvet box, pale ceramic. No clutter. Negative space is the prop.
Stack Story — the SELENE Lady, layered and lit
Mood
One model, both pieces. Tennis Bracelet at the wrist, Bezel necklace at the collarbone, Bezel studs in the ear. Editorial portrait — soft, timeless, slightly warmer than concept 1.
Lighting
Soft natural daylight, warm bias (~5200K). Backlit hair rim optional. Skin-forward exposure.
Wardrobe / Crop
Cream silk camisole, white linen, neutral knit. ¾ portrait + neck-down crop emphasising layered jewelry.
Shot list — built in tiers, all 4:5 vertical
Tiered from quietest to loudest: single product still life → group still life → single product on model with detail → group on model. Then three optional "what else" frames that round out a full feed week.
