Portrait of Yuri Hahhalev, photographer and AI art director

This is me

Yuri Hahhalev

I am a photographer with over 20 years of experience. I now use AI in my art-direction practice.

I create campaign imagery for fashion, beauty, accessories, and lifestyle brands.

What I do

I build tailored
campaign worlds
from brand and
product DNA.

I build campaign worlds around products, collections, and launches.

The work starts with what makes a product recognisable: its print, colour, material, shape, and mood.

AI is the production engine. The offer is brand reading, photographic logic, and taste.

Why it works

The product stays at the centre.

Every project starts with the brand: its DNA, values, visual logic, and the message it wants to carry.

From there, I read the product’s colour, material, construction, shape, and mood, then build a campaign world that makes those qualities feel clear and connected.

When the product and its environment share the same visual language, the product becomes easier to notice, desire and remember.

Who it is for

For brands that care how their products are seen.

Especially fashion, beauty, accessories, and lifestyle brands with distinctive products, signature prints, patterns, materials, forms, or colour systems that can grow into a recognisable campaign world.

  • A stronger visual direction for a launch or collection.
  • A way to test a campaign world early before a larger production.
  • A fuller story around a hero product instead of one isolated image.
  • More images that work together across web, email, social, press, and Pinterest.
  • A clearer, more memorable product presence.
