The opportunity

Brands need more images and films than ever. Photo shoots can't keep up.

Generic AI tools are fast, but they change the product and drift off brand. Premium houses cannot publish the wrong product. Nines makes AI content production accurate enough for them.

One content pipeline

One product record. Every image and film your business needs.

Today, product pages, campaigns, wholesale line sheets and social each come from a different shoot, agency or tool. Nines builds one approved record of each product and makes everything from it, so every channel shows the same product, the same way.

LightStyled and lit for every channel.

It starts with a garment and a robot. The studio captures the piece from every angle; it is dressed on a mannequin, rebuilt as a 3D mesh, cast on a model and lit. Photos a brand already has work the same way: ghost-mannequin and still-life images become on-model images.

Inside Nines

One place for the brand's teams to brief, cast, style and approve.

Each team does the job it already does, with the product record and the brand's rules built in.

Product twin

Every image is made from the twin the brand approves.

Product precision is set before any image is made. The product team checks shape against CADs and tech packs, colour against the brand's standards, material against the sample, and every trim, stitch and print.

Casting

Models are cast the way brands always cast, in one place.

The creative director briefs each role. Nines sends headshots, the team picks its favourites, and Nines builds each model out and checks the likeness. Synthetic models and licensed talent twins sit side by side.

Casting: two kinds of model, headshot options and the chosen model built out in three looks
Digital Rail

The physical rail, now digital.

Stylists pull pieces, pair the outfit, set how each piece is worn (tucked, open, rolled, layered) and lock the look. Nines makes every image from the locked look.

The Digital Rail: polo, shirt, trousers, bag and shoes, how each is worn, and the locked look
Review

Each team reviews only what it owns.

Automated and expert checks run before the brand sees anything. The product team checks colour, shape and detail; a reviewer checks every image for brand; the director signs off each look; final approval sends images to the DAM.

What it makes

Use cases brands run on Nines.

One shoot, every destination

One series for the campaign, the site and social.

Every frame is planned for where it will run: wide openers for the campaign, close-ups of the jewelry for the product pages, a short film for social. One light from start to finish, so the series reads as one story wherever it appears.

Product pages

Every view of every product, in one consistent light.

Product pages need volume and consistency: every product, every view, the same model and the same light, season after season, sized and named for the site and the marketplaces.

Casting

Licensed digital twins of real models.

Each model is a licensed digital twin of a real person, chosen by the brand's creative director. The same face can return across campaigns, films and product pages, or change by market and season.

Product films

A coat walking, a jacket in a full turn.

Short films made from the product images. Each film starts from the product photographs and is checked against them: the cut, the material and the hardware hold from the first frame to the last.

From photograph to film

Every photograph can become a film.

The look, the light and the location carry over from still to motion, so a campaign image and its film sit side by side without a seam.

Every format

The same film, reframed for every screen.

Cut once for each place it runs: 9:16 for stories, 4:5 for the feed, 1:1 for square placements, 16:9 for the site, and a six-second edit for paid media.

Campaign and editorial

A campaign and its film, without the crew or the flights.

Light suits against white land art, under a hard southern sun. The setting is built for the collection, and the campaign, its film and the product pages share one direction.

The studio

From robotic capture to a world to walk through.

The collection becomes a place: a city drawn in light, then a look chosen in the mirror room. One capture feeds the campaign, the film and the product pages that follow.

People and AI

AI does the volume. Brand teams keep the decisions.

The brand's creative directors, stylists and product teams stay in charge of the work. Nines removes the waiting and the repetition.

For partners and advisors

Where Nines fits for your clients.

Nines works best inside a content or AI transformation program: it turns a strategy into images on the client's site within weeks.

Who it's for

  • Fashion, beauty and jewelry houses and brand groups

How we work with you

  • Introduce a client and we scope the use cases together
  • We run a test on the client's own products, so the business case uses their numbers
  • Nines runs production; you lead the strategy and the operating model
