Shawn Van Brunt

Shawn Van Brunt is a creative director, technologist, and visual systems architect who blends high-end design with advanced AI workflows to deliver striking work for clients across fashion, entertainment, real estate, and brand development.

With over two decades of technical leadership, including years as an IT Infrastructure Director, Shawn built a hybrid skillset that is part creative vision, part engineering precision. His background in architectural and portrait photography shapes how he approaches lighting, composition, and visual storytelling, while his systematic thinking ensures every project becomes a reusable framework, not a one-off deliverable.

Shawn is known for building cinematic, emotionally resonant visual systems that maintain perfect continuity from frame to frame. Whether developing a luxury fashion lookbook, crafting a full campaign narrative, or constructing production-ready brand assets from scratch, his work follows a single principle:

Everything must look intentional. Everything must feel premium. And everything must elevate the brand.

At AD-5 Creative, Shawn transforms creative bottlenecks into high-velocity production pipelines—delivering work that feels handcrafted and human, even though no traditional photography, sets, or crews are required. He builds custom style frameworks for every client, ensuring output does not just look good—it looks exactly right.

The kind of work that used to take teams of specialists and weeks of production now executes with precision in hours.

Shawn believes in creativity amplified: using technology not to replace the human touch, but to accelerate vision, expand imagination, and create something genuinely new.
