Today we’re taking you behind the scenes product photography with Pixel Affiliate, the local photography and videography studio we work closely with to bring ROK Products to life on screen.
At ROK Products, authenticity matters. We believe the best way to showcase our products is through real-world photography and video, not overly polished stock imagery that doesn’t reflect how our products are actually used in the barbershop or at home.
Why real-world visuals matter
Shooting with a local creative team allows us to capture our products in a way that feels genuine, tactile, and true to the brand. From the texture of our clays and pomades to how they perform in natural light, real photography tells a more honest story.
It’s not always the easiest route. Real shoots take planning, time, and collaboration. But the payoff is content that feels human, usable, and relatable—exactly how we want ROK to be seen.
Supporting local, building better brands
Working with Pixel Affiliate isn’t just about great visuals. It’s about supporting a local creative business and building a long-term relationship where both brands grow together. Local collaborations bring flexibility, shared ideas, and a deeper understanding of the end goal—something you don’t always get with big remote agencies.
Behind the scenes, that means experimenting with lighting, textures, and motion, refining compositions, and capturing content that works across social media, websites, campaigns, and education.
The product comes first
Our products are designed for real barbers, real routines, and real results. Whether it’s our flagship styling clay or the wider ROK range, every shoot focuses on how the product looks, feels, and performs in everyday use—not just how it looks on a shelf.
That same mindset runs through everything we do at ROK:
-
Real people
-
Real environments
-
Real results
