The Brief

Commissioned by Jonathan at “All Saints” design for the very Established brand Newey & Bloomer to photograph their range of very shiny kettles. Images to be used for their website, pr and Social media

The Results

The difficulty with this shoot was two-fold. (1.) The products were ever so shiny which meant very careful photography, lighting and editing were needed so as not to see my equipment in the photos – each kettle was a mirror reflection of 180 degrees. (2.) I carefully light the surface of each kettle so as to not overexpose the surface and still retain each kettle’s beautiful details.
