Hello and welcome to another exciting project featuring our number one ambassador, Alicja - she is an extremely talented nail artist who wows with every hand she touches, so please make sure to send her some love here!
our goal for this shoot was to experiment with a little storytelling by breaking up each row of pictures to match a written chapter (e.g. chapter 1 links with the 1st row of pictures and so on), in the hopes of building a narrative around a Halloween-themed photoshoot and highlighting our products with one particularly in mind, so without further ado…
Say hello to Red Riding Hood, she's on her merry way to Granny's to give her a big basket of goodies from @the810bakes (subtle branding, we know).
chapter 1: Currently, she's strolling through the forest (or a suburban neighborhood in Scotland - more or less the same thing), but one can't help but detect a glimmer of mischief in her eyes...we suspect that she might want to have a cookie or two just for herself 🎃
Chapter 2: Red is still on her way to Granny's, however, lots of things have happened on the way. She takes a moment to think if she should tuck into the lovely goods, but then she hears a noise in the distance... it's the WOLF 🐺. Red made up her mind, she won't have any of the tempting treats for herself, and neither will the wolf 🔪 She puts her hood up and does what she has to, so that Granny can have her goodies 🩸
Chapter 3: Red has subtly taken care of business with the big bad wolf 🥀Her sunny disposition slowly returns as she gets to granny's, but there's no one home 🤔 Red seizes the opportunity and starts setting the scene to impress and impressive it is - savoury goodies and sweets alike spread out in the candle light🕯️ And then a shadow was cast in the room of this Hallows Day delight🌬️
Chapter 4: Red was no longer alone in granny's house😱 Red, still recovering from her previous encounter was getting increasingly hungry and those pesto and parmesan rolls, along with the smell coming from the feta and tomato dough balls, not even mentioning the slightly smokey aroma in the air from the luxury nut blend started to overtake Red's willpower to leave granny's feast intact... But then Red raises her head and realises that Granny was standing in the doorway, as shocked as she was - it felt like they were looking in the mirror. Granny realising that Red was desperate for a bite, tells her to pick only one thing that she wants most. Red looks at each offering and studies it carefully. The savoury treats already filled the room, but the sweets were actually what she was after. The hazelnut praline beignets had a shiny caramel crackle on top making way for a burst of hazelnut cream, the blackberry and lemon cloud was light, fruity, and zingy, all encased in a perfectly balanced sweet and sour sponge cake, the tahini cookies packed with flavour and white chocolate chips had golden sesame seeds shining in the candlelight - All promising propositions, but something was grinning on a platter. Something that Red hasn't really noticed before. She takes a closer look and sees a pumpkin and white chocolate ganache sandwiched between two buttery linzer biscuits giving off a warm spiced aroma…
…That's it, that's the one that will satisfy her craving on this Hollow’s Eve. Fitting for the day and for the season… Finally, she takes a bite - and all is well.
