Overview
CherryShot is an AI studio that shoots the whole campaign from one phone photo. It is built for e-commerce, fashion, jewelry, eyewear and lifestyle brands, and it replaces the product shoot rather than editing its output.
Product imagery is the slowest and costliest input in e-commerce. Every SKU needs listing shots, on-model images, lifestyle scenes and ad creative. A lifestyle image costs $150 to $500 and a shoot takes 2 to 4 weeks from booking to usable assets, and the creative then fatigues on Meta and TikTok within weeks. Catalogs cannot reshoot at the speed ads burn out.
How it works
The user uploads a flat-lay, a mannequin shot or a plain phone photo and picks an aesthetic. Nothing else. A vision pass reads the product itself, deliberately ignoring the background and styling of the upload, and writes a structured shoot blueprint: material, cut, colour, finish, how the product is worn, then the lighting design, the surface, the scene, the model brief and an ordered list of art-directed shots with a camera angle each. That blueprint, not the user's words, is what prompts the image model. There is no prompt box because the system writes the prompt.
Video works the same way. An AI creative director takes the images, the logo, the duration and the audio settings and returns a shot-by-shot storyboard with a pacing chosen from the product category, then renders it.
Key features
- One upload, a cohesive campaign set of up to six shots in under 60 seconds

- Studio, lifestyle and marketplace-ready images with built-in retouching
- Video ads directed end to end by the AI director from the same upload
