At Brand Havan, we are all about elevating. Elevating the creative to what the best case engagement may be for the given medium. That goes through a fairly through amount of A/B Testing but it also relies on something thats less material. Our Amazing taste and pulse on what people will most likely engage with based on the platform they may interact with the products.

You see when we engage with a product or new brand. We have to allow ourselves to think beyond the confines of ‘on brand’ specifically or only and move into something more tangible. Who is the person we are trying to strike a chord with here. Specific to what screen or print material they may be exposed to. It’s not enough to just make things pretty and then mega-blast all over the internet. It’s who is the mind behind the eyeballs on e.g instagram, today. Or LinkedIn, Facebook, whats the funnel on this line page funneling from and for whom. The platform dictates the kind of visual narrative they will be engaging with.

““The goal of marketing is to create a customer who is so loyal, they will never consider buying from anyone else.”

— Walt Disney

Here’s how we craft flow and narrative in every brand photography project we take on:

1. Understanding the Brand Story First

Before a single light is set up, we dive into your brand’s narrative.

What do you want people to feel when they see your product?
What’s the journey your customer is on, and how does your brand fit into that?
Is your voice playful, luxury, grounded in wellness, or disruptive and bold?

By anchoring photography in brand strategy, we make sure the visuals don’t just look good—they mean something.

2.Designing a Visual Flow

Every shoot is designed like a storyboard. Instead of random images, we think in terms of flow:

Opening shot: the “first impression” image that stops the scroll.
Hero sequence: bold, clean images that spotlight your product as the main character.
Lifestyle bridge: contextual shots showing your product in motion, in hands, or in environments that match your customer’s life.
Detail close-ups: textures, packaging, ingredients—the intimacy that makes it real.
Closing shot: an emotional or aspirational image that ties back to the brand promise.

This sequence gives startups a ready-made bank of content that works across websites, ads, and socials without feeling fragmented.

Like everything for a higher end production, the colors have to match the swatches and color codes, not just for the design of the mags and material but also through the images they would use for the prints.

3. Creating a Narrative Arc

We don’t just shoot products—we position them in a narrative arc. Think of it like telling a mini-film through stills:

Problem → tension your customer feels.
Solution → your product in action.
Resolution → the lifestyle and transformation your brand delivers.

This structure makes every set of photos versatile for campaigns, landing pages, and storytelling across platforms.

4. Playing With Environments & Textures

A bottle on a white background might work for Amazon, but to win hearts, startups need photography environments that create energy and mood. We use:

Abstract backdrops that feel editorial.
Natural textures (stone, fabric, wood) that ground the product.
Bold colors that communicate personality.
Lighting shifts that create a sense of time and place.

By carefully pairing your product with intentional environments, the photos stop being generic—they become brand anchors.

5. Consistency Meets Flexibility

Startups need agility, but also consistency. Our photography approach balances both:

Every shot aligns with your visual identity (colors, mood, typography).
We deliver variations (angles, crops, moods) that give you endless usability across platforms.
You walk away with a photo library that looks curated, not cobbled together.
