The Challenge

El Picante is a bold, Oxfordshire-based Mexican sweet brand creating vibrant, handmade chamoy and dulces. With ambitious plans to grow their local following and stand out on social media, they needed fresh, high-quality visuals that captured the energy and flavour of their products, without the overhead of a full-scale studio shoot.

They approached Ninety8 Media to help bring their vision to life with a brand-aligned content shoot designed specifically for use across Instagram and Facebook.

Our Approach

We booked in a half-day shoot, handling all aspects from visual styling to delivery.

We focused on capturing the colour, texture, and playfulness of the El Picante product range; incorporating a mix of clean flat-lays, vibrant close-ups, and lifestyle-style shots. Everything was designed to give variety and provide versatile use across different formats and platforms.

Importantly, the entire shoot was captured using iPhone; proving you don’t need expensive kit to get beautiful, on-brand imagery. With a fast 48-hour turnaround, El Picante received a full gallery of polished, ready-to-post assets without the wait.

What We Delivered

• Half-day shoot tailored to product and brand needs

• Visual styling and direction throughout

The Results

El Picante now has a scroll-stopping visual toolkit to show off their handmade sweets; all delivered quickly, affordably, and ready to plug straight into their social channels. The result is a bold, cohesive visual identity that reflects their personality and gets noticed online.
