CherryShot turns one phone photo of a product into campaign-grade photography and video. On-model shots, lifestyle scenes, marketplace images and video ads, all from a single upload, with no studio, no crew and no prompting.
We did not start with a product. We started as a studio running AI creative production for large fashion and retail brands, and we kept hitting the same wall on every project. Every SKU needs listing shots, on-model images, lifestyle scenes and ad creative. A real shoot costs between 150 and 500 dollars per lifestyle image and takes two to four weeks to organise, and the creative burns out on Meta and TikTok within weeks of going live. Brands were paying studio prices for assets with a shelf life measured in days. So we productised the workflow we were already running by hand.
Here is what actually happens when you upload. A vision pass reads the product itself and deliberately ignores the background and styling of your photo. It writes a structured shoot blueprint: category, material, cut, colour, finish, how the product is worn or used, then the lighting design, the surface it sits on, the scene, the model brief, and an ordered list of art-directed shots with camera angles. That blueprint, not a sentence you typed, is what prompts the image model. This is why there is no prompt box in the product. The system writes the direction, you pick an aesthetic.
Key features:
- A cohesive campaign set of up to six art-directed shots from one upload, in under a minute
- On-model photography from a flat-lay or a mannequin shot, with 74 preset models across ethnicities plus custom faces, so casting stays consistent across a brand's drops and seasons
- Studio, lifestyle and marketplace-ready images with retouching built in
- Video ads storyboarded shot by shot by an AI director from the same upload, with pacing chosen for the product category
- A quality checker in the loop: a vision pass reads each finished frame and rejects and regenerates any shot carrying a brand name or logo that is not on the product itself
- A public REST API and an MCP server with OAuth 2.0, so Claude and other agents can generate product imagery directly inside your own tools
- White-label tenants for agencies and a Shopify integration
Who it is for: direct-to-consumer and fashion brands refreshing catalogs and ads each season, Shopify and marketplace sellers who need listing and lifestyle images fast, agencies producing content for many brands at once, jewelry and eyewear labels, and developers who want product imagery through an API.
Where we are: 16,000 or more images generated in production, 678 sign-ups since launch, revenue from the first month, and enterprise catalog work running for brands including Aditya Birla Fashion Group and Tasva. Self-serve brands using it today include Vontelle, Halo Headband, NCMPRBL and Bummer. Zero paid acquisition so far. Every customer came through output they could see.
Pricing is honest and self-serve: the first five shots are free with no card, credit plans run from 9.99 to 104.99 dollars a month with top-ups, and done-for-you enterprise catalogs are priced per image.
