02 / One shoot, more possibilities

One shoot,
more ways to use
your collection.

Send your products to our studio and review the shoot remotely, or have us come to your showroom and photograph the collection on site.

We plan each shot around how you’ll use it later. For a pair of earrings, that might mean capturing the profile, the setting and the way the metal catches the light. You receive finished product photographs and a library of images we can use for future campaigns.

A photograph of the actual earring can become part of an AI-generated portrait. A different angle can become the opening shot of a Reel. When a detail needs to stay exact, we can keep the photographed piece in the final composition and build the scene around it.

03 / Work with what you have

Already have
product images?

Send them over. We’ll review what you have, work from the strongest images and suggest a shoot only if a missing angle or detail calls for one. We can also create an entire campaign in AI from your brief, using your product references whenever a specific piece needs to appear.

04 / A paid pilot, before your monthly plan

Start with
three products.

Send us three pieces or their existing images, along with your next launch date. We’ll propose a paid pilot with a creative direction, deliverables and a fixed price. If the work feels right for your brand, we’ll build a monthly plan around your release calendar.

Discuss Dedicated Studio

Each proposal defines your monthly deliverables or reserved production time, review rounds, timing and priorities. We shape the plan around the work your brand actually needs.

A clear monthly rhythm

Plan. Create. Refine.

We agree the priorities, develop the direction, produce the assets and review what comes next. You work directly with Maciej throughout.

How is the monthly price set?

We quote after a short brief. The proposal reflects the creative involvement, production capacity, asset types and turnaround you need.

Can the plan include real photography?

Yes. The proposal sets out any shoot days and costs for models, locations, crew, travel or licensing, so you know what is covered.

How do new requests and revisions work?

We prioritise requests within your agreed monthly capacity. Deliverables, review rounds and timing are defined before production; changes to the scope are agreed together.

How do we start?

Start with a paid pilot for three products. We agree a creative direction, deliverables and a fixed price. If the work feels right, we build your monthly plan around the next launches.

BERNAS.LAB is a creative studio led by fashion photographer and creative director Maciej Bernas. Built on the photographic experience of Studio Bernas.

Photography, production and post-production shape our approach to AI. Light, composition, skin, materials and detail are considered throughout the process.

You work with the person developing the images, from the first conversation to the final delivery.
