Beauty & Skincare Photography

Skincare and beauty products demand accurate colour, texture detail, and lighting that makes formulas look as effective as they are. Whether it's a clean listing shot or a full styled campaign with props and sets and lighting that makes your formula look as effective as it performs.

Homewares & Furniture

Oversized, industrial, and large format products shot on location. Homewares and furniture live or die on how they look online, and crisp, conversion ready images give Auckland home goods brands what they need to compete on Shopify and in wholesale catalogues.

You've got the product. Now make it impossible to scroll past.

I began my career photographing museum-quality artefacts for one of London's most prestigious auction houses, where every detail, texture, and reflection had to be perfect. That same precision is now applied to Auckland and New Zealand brands who need product photography that doesn't just look good, but actually converts. If your product is worth selling, it's worth showing properly.

Ready to create something that stops the scroll?

Creative product photography is about more than a pretty shot. It's about understanding your brand, your customer, and the split-second decision they're making when they see your image. As an Auckland-based commercial photographer with 13+ years of experience, including catalogue work for one of London's leading auction houses, I bring that level of precision to every creative brief.

Whether you need a full campaign build, styled flatlays, ghost mannequin clothing shots, stop motion reels, or social media content that's ready to post, I handle the concept, the props, the shoot, and the delivery. You focus on your business. I'll handle making it look the part.

FAQ
What types of products do you photograph?
I specialise in commercial product photography across beauty, skincare, homewares, food and beverage, fashion apparel, and consumer goods. Services include eCommerce packshots, lifestyle product photography, ghost mannequin for clothing, flatlay compositions, stop motion animation, and full creative campaign shoots, all produced at my Auckland studio.
Do I need to send my products to your Auckland studio?
Yes, products are photographed at my studio in Auckland. You can courier products directly or drop them off by appointment. I work with brands across New Zealand, including Wellington, Christchurch, and Hamilton, with items couriered in and returned after the shoot.
What is the difference between packshot and lifestyle product photography?
Packshot (or eCommerce) photography presents products against a clean white or neutral background, ideal for online store listings, Amazon, and wholesale catalogues. Lifestyle product photography places products in a styled real-world setting to create context and emotion, and is suited to social media, advertising, and brand campaigns. Many brands use both styles.
What is ghost mannequin photography?
Ghost mannequin photography (also called invisible mannequin or hollow man photography) is a technique used for clothing and apparel. A garment is photographed on a mannequin, then the mannequin is digitally removed in post-production, leaving the garment with a full 3D shape and no visible model. It's the industry standard for eCommerce fashion imagery.
Does product photography include editing and retouching?
Yes. All images are professionally colour-graded and retouched as part of the standard workflow. Files are delivered as high-resolution JPEGs optimised for both print and digital use. Additional retouching, such as background replacement, compositing, or extended shadow work, can be arranged as part of the project brief.
