    Montmorency, France
    Art Direction & Food Photography for Gourmandiz.
    -> Spreads

    I collaborated with Gourmandiz, a brand specializing in gourmet spreads, to create a series of visuals for their website and social media.
    My involvement covered art direction, food styling, and the photo shoot, with a clear objective: to enhance product appeal and support the brand's commercial growth.

    To highlight the richness and generosity of the spreads, I developed a striking visual aesthetic focused on:

    - Ultra-gourmet textures, captured in immersive close-ups,
    - Controlled contrasts to emphasize the product's density and shine,
    - Dynamic and modern staging designed to capture attention,
    - A coherent and differentiating graphic universe to affirm the brand's identity.

    These visuals contributed to doubling my client's revenue, through improved website conversion and a stronger, more appealing, and professional social media presence.
