A precision-led product campaign for the Constantine Oversize, built around one idea: let the light do the talking. Shot over two days in a blacked-out studio with a motion-control rig.

Bausch & Lomb came to us with a single hero product and a very short window. The Constantine Oversize is a large, heavy object that photographs badly under soft light, so the whole approach was reversed: hard sources, narrow apertures, and a black set that gives the metal something to reflect.

Approach

  • Motion-control rig for repeatable 40-frame focus stacks

  • A single 3200K key with two black flags for edge control

  • Retouching limited to dust and sensor cleanup — no reshaping

The final set covers print, e-commerce and a six-second loop for social. Everything was delivered from one lighting setup, which kept the look consistent across formats without a second studio day.
