Nexxus.

Nexxus ran under the same Unilever account as the Dove and TRESemme work, and the same idea sits behind it. Build a world around the pack rather than dropping the pack into one. An ingredient flatlay flattens. Cream, granules and foil all read as marks on paper unless something in the frame has weight. So the hero is vertical. A viscous column of cream pouring into the neck of a standing bottle, frozen mid-fall, with everything else laid flat around it. That one upright gives the set an axis and gives the flat frames something to belong to.

The swatches were palette-knifed and combed so the ridges hold their shape under soft, near-shadowless light. Dry black granules scattered into a triangular wedge, a foil sachet mask laid flat. Haircare texture photography on a low-contrast lilac ground means the substance has to be earned in the lighting, because there is no deep shadow to describe it for you. Dove, TRESemme and Love Beauty and Planet use the same method on different grounds. Set design by Olivia Clifford. Shot in London for Green Park and All Things Hair.
