Why person behind the brand is as important as the commercial product photography.
Magdalena Smolarska
Over my years of experience as a professional female personal brand portrait and lifestyle commercial product photographer for Sussex entrepreneurs and small business owners, I’ve learned that the person behind the brand is as important as the product or service being offered.
Yet, I see many small business owners with a brand new product range launching websites with beautiful stylised high quality traditional commercial product photography and no picture of the person who actually designed them and runs the business.
We want to see the person behind the brand . . . YOU!
We want to see your product in use.
We want to know how your products make us feel.
I’m saying NO to boring commercial studio product shots on your website and social media!
As a Brighton based female photographer, I see a trend that more and more of small business owners are looking for more than high quality e-commerce product photography for their online store; against pure white backdrop, very sharp, colour balanced and retouched only.
They are looking for a story telling lifestyle commercial product photography as it has the ability to bring your products to live.
I am on mission to inject human touch, movement and story line into your commercial lifestyle product images so your brand, website and social media stands out from your competitors. And of course, capture you, the face behind the brand.
This style photography is called: creative lifestyle commercial product and portrait images that showcase in a real life setting your product in use by incorporating human touch (you) and other props.
Rather shooting in cold four white walls professional photography studio, we choose house or airbnb, hotel or restaurant or any other environment setting for your brand vision.
We inject movement, action, activity and emotion; for example: group of women sitting around coffee table, holding mugs of coffee in their hands, laughing, smiling, chatting and having quality time together.
We create product image that will evolve a desire for customers to have this kind of experience after purchasing the product.
Meet Sian, founder, an online business owner of Wolf & Griffin , an eco-friendly and sustainable beauty products.
Sian approached me to capture not only the person behind the brand (herself) but also took more relaxed lifestyle commercial products with more human touch for her website.
She came to my Brighton & Hove house studio which I am using for my personal brand portrait and product photography. Love what we created together in up to 1.5-hour photoshoot. We kept the experience simple and relaxed as I know from experience that many small business owners are little bit camera shy, including myself.
