French Connection

Project Description

Lifestyle Product Photography

The Brief

Photos were needed for the NEXT and French Connection websites to promote the candles. These were to be scene-setting product photographs that matched the style and audience of the candles.

Locations were chosen to match the style and provide enough variety for a full day’s shoot at each.

The Shoot

At each location, we first explored every aspect, looking for the best spots for product placements and creating a running order for the day’s shoot.

A mixture of natural light with a hint of artificial light to make the product pop and the labels stand out in the shot. We also had shots that needed to showcase the candle lit, whilst still being bright enough for a product shot.

The Results

Below is a short Behind The Scenes (BTS) video of the shoots, followed by a selection of photographs from the lifestyle product shoot.
