Glo & Co - Luxury Sustainable Candles

Brief

I have been trusted by Harriet Bolt Socials for over 12 months now to deliver premium brand imagery and content to her clients. With Harriet I've worked on several projects, this one is a returning client who since last August has produced two new scents in a line of luxury sustainable candles in a clever concrete holder that can be reused and looks so sleek and timeless in any home.


For this years project I was tasked with providing a set of matching lifestyle product images that I took in 2022 which in itself has a few small challenges such as finding the same props!


I also had the task of shooting a new product video that showcased the new and existing scents available.


Video

Here's the video I shot with Harriet appearing in the video for a little human interest. Keeping these videos concise but aesthetic is important as is making it interesting to watch (which is little more of a challenge with something fairly basic like a candle!) but I love a challenge.



Images

These images are to be used on Amazon so they need to be 1:1 format (a square!) and this is kept in mind while shooting.


Outcome

I was thrilled our client was please with his product update shoot and was able to get his new scents up and running as soon as possible with total turn around from enquiry to delivery being just 2 weeks.


I have now shot products for all sorts from block white backdrops for Amazon to lifestyle for instagram and content for socials. I am always happy to discuss prices and set design. I have a few location houses perfect for product photography on my books so can reduce customer cost in building custom sets.

hi! I'm cat and i am a full time wedding photographer
(and a little bit of a photography geek!)
 
I started taking photos as a teenager, my Dad was a wedding photographer and I would often help him. In 2021 I left my corporate job with a dream and hope that I could make photography a full time job. Since then I have been pouring my heart and soul into this business and have been honoured to be chosen as wedding photographer for so many lovely couples as well as being a portrait and event photographer.  
I TAKE CLASSIC, TIMELESS, DOCUMENTARY STYLE PHOTOGRAPHS WITH MINIMAL INTRUSION

 

But I will step in and offer gentle guidance when it's right to do so, I have learned over the years to read the room, anticipate the next move, hold space when needed and offer support when I can.

aRE YOU LOOKING FOR A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
When choosing a wedding photographer, consider their style, experience, portfolio, and reviews from previous clients. It's also important to discuss pricing, availability, and any specific requests you may have.
 
Don't forget to meet with them in person to ensure you have good chemistry and feel comfortable with their approach.

Once you have narrowed down your list of potential wedding photographers, it's a good idea to ask them some key questions to help you make your final decision.

 

Here are a few questions to consider:

  • What is your photography style? Do you prefer a more traditional approach or a more candid, documentary style?

  • Do you have experience with weddings of a similar size and style to mine?

  • Can I see a full gallery of a recent wedding you photographed? This will give you a better sense of their consistency and quality of work.

  • Do you have backup equipment in case something goes wrong on the day of the wedding?

  • How do you handle difficult lighting situations (e.g. low light, harsh sunlight, indoor vs. outdoor)? This will help you gauge their technical expertise.

  • What is included in your packages? Are there any additional fees I should be aware of (e.g. travel, overtime)?

  • How long will it take to receive my photos after the wedding? Will they be edited and retouched?

  • Can you accommodate any special requests I have (e.g. specific shots, family portraits)?

  • How do you ensure that you capture all of the important moments on the day of the wedding?

By asking these questions and having an open and honest conversation with your wedding photographer, you can ensure that you find the right fit for your big day.
