We help fashion, editorial, and commercial brands express their identity through curated visuals and intentional styling—because how you show up should be nothing short of iconic.
At Ni Ki Cruz Creative, every project begins not with a shot list, but with a story. We don’t ask what you need photographed—we ask, what do you want your audience to feel? What message lives behind your fabric, your product, your personal brand? Whether you’re a designer launching a new collection, a founder reimagining your image, or a business ready to be seen in a new light, we begin by visualizing your grand vision—turning what’s in your head into something people can feel, hold, and remember.
Imagine this: You come to the studio with a spark—an idea, a mood, or even a color palette that’s been tugging at your creative senses. Maybe it’s the quiet confidence of a new brand identity or the energy of a capsule collection that needs to move. Together, we sit down to shape that spark into a concept. We explore references, map aesthetic influences, and build a moodboard that not only reflects your brand, but expands its world. Every shoot begins with this level of intention. We sketch out a visual language before we ever touch the camera—one that mirrors your values, elevates your edge, and holds artistic weight.
From there, we guide the entire creative process. Whether you’re working solo or with a small team, you’ll receive styling input, direction on color, wardrobe, prop curation, and a layout that considers how your images will live—on your website, in print, across campaigns, or even inside an editorial pitch. Shoots can take place in our studio or on-location, with every detail—from lighting to body language—aligned to the story we’re telling. This is more than photography. It’s a fully guided image-building experience.
After the shoot, we move into refinement. You’ll receive a curated gallery—not just a raw dump of files, but a refined visual arc. Every frame is retouched with care, sequenced to tell a story, and delivered in both high-res and web-ready formats. We make sure your visuals are ready for wherever your brand lives: in a press kit, on the cover of a lookbook, or glowing in a digital launch.
For fashion, editorial, and commercial brands, this process is not just about visibility—it’s about vision made visible. And as a single studio, we keep the process personal, detailed, and deeply collaborative. You’re not handed off to departments. You’re working with one creative who sees the entire arc—from concept to completion.
For brands that live in the details. And lead with vision.
This experience is designed for those who understand that visual identity is not a backdrop—it’s the first language your brand speaks. Whether you’re a fashion designer preparing a seasonal drop, a creative entrepreneur launching a personal brand, or a commercial company refreshing your campaign visuals, this work is for you.
We work with independent designers, emerging labels, editorial creatives, and product-forward brands that want more than trendy content. You want something lasting—something that looks and feels as intentional as the product or message you’ve built from the ground up. Our clients often come to us at a turning point: rebranding, debuting, or leveling up. If you’ve outgrown generic photoshoots and are ready to turn image-making into an extension of your identity, you’re in the right place.
Not just services. Styled experiences that bring your brand to life.
While each project is custom, we offer a collection of signature experiences that shape how we work together—each crafted with the same artistic depth and strategic clarity.
Perfect for designers, boutiques, and collections, this experience is built around capturing your pieces in a fully styled, story-led shoot. We guide the concept, location, lighting, styling cues, and model or product flow. Final images are delivered in a curated editorial sequence, ready for both print and digital use.
Ideal for founders, creatives, and solo brands seeking timeless portraiture and content that reflects their aesthetic. These shoots combine styled headshots, brand storytelling images, and curated mood shots to help you build a cohesive content library.
If you already have a photographer or production team, but need a guiding visual voice, we step in as your stylist-creative director hybrid. We help build the mood, structure the shoot, and work with your team to ensure every frame supports your brand story.
For brands needing product-focused visuals with a high-end editorial feel. We design the set, shape the visual rhythm, and build a narrative through textures, lighting, and composition—ideal for packaging launches, retail rollouts, and lifestyle content.
We begin with a discovery call or creative consultation to understand your goals, brand story, and visual needs. From there, we develop a concept direction, moodboard, and proposed plan of action that outlines everything from shoot tone and location to wardrobe inspiration and image usage. It’s highly collaborative—your vision guides the strategy, and we take it from there.
You can absolutely book a single shoot. While many clients opt for full creative direction, some simply need a curated portrait session or styled product shoot. Each offering is flexible and can be scaled to fit your timeline, budget, or project scope. We’ll discuss the best structure during your consultation.
Yes—styling is a key part of our process. While we don’t supply garments directly, we guide the wardrobe selection, help source pieces (if needed), and offer detailed styling direction. For set design, we assist with prop curation, background selection, and creating a cohesive visual environment—whether in-studio or on-location.
A typical package includes pre-shoot planning (concept, creative direction, and styling guide), on-set direction, photography, and post-production editing. You’ll receive a curated gallery of high-resolution, retouched images, formatted for both print and web use. Custom packages may also include behind-the-scenes content, video stills, or launch visuals.
Absolutely. If you’re working with a photographer or in-house team but need a stylistic lead, we offer art direction as a standalone service. We’ll handle the creative vision, develop the visual narrative, and work closely with your team to ensure your final images align with your brand’s story and tone.
Shoots can take place in our studio, at a rental studio of your choice, or on-location depending on the project’s creative direction. We’re happy to travel for editorial or commercial work—whether it’s a local boutique, outdoor space, or styled environment. Travel fees may apply and will be discussed during planning.
The final number of edited images depends on the package selected, but most shoots deliver 15–40 professionally retouched images. Your curated gallery is delivered via a private online portal, with both high-resolution and web-optimized versions included. Additional edits are available by request.
Yes. Each project includes standard usage rights for marketing, web, and social media. For print, press, or advertising usage, we offer licensing options tailored to your campaign goals. Clear terms will be outlined in your proposal so you know exactly how your imagery can be used.
Most projects have a turnaround time of 10–15 business days after the shoot date. Rush delivery is available on select projects for an additional fee. Larger campaign shoots or lookbooks may require a longer timeline, which will be scheduled in advance.
Absolutely—that’s our specialty. Many clients come to us knowing what they want to feel, but not how that translates into visuals. Through discovery, reference building, and creative strategy, we help shape a visual world that reflects your voice and elevates your brand presence—before the camera even turns on.
