This shoot was developed for a number of reasons. The manufacturer of the butterfly corset wanted some lifestyle imagery to supplement their standard e-commerce images. I also wanted a studio project to make use of the Elinchrom ELB 400 and this would be my first studio use of the kit. I subsequently used the ELB 400 for high speed product photography to great success,
This was part of an ongoing project with Woo Creative for one of their clients, Saddles Direct. The brief from Lisa was pretty straightford. “Make it look good, with plenty of detail.”
After spending most of the day shooting fashion on location for Adnan Bayyat, we then started work on the Couture collection at the studio, and there was an awful lot of it too. It was certainly going to be a long day. All the collections needed to be photographed in one day, as the London Fashion Week with Fashions Finest was looming.
In the summer of 2014, I was contacted by Cabinet Maker magazine with a request for an interview regarding product photography in relation to the furniture industry. This started a flurry of activity as we quickly shot a number of images specifically for the article, ahead of the interview. We wanted to sow a range of styles and locations, mainly to show our flexibility.

Jewellery photography is a subject with it’s own challenges. Highly reflective surfaces and jewels that don’t always react to light as you might expect.
Product photography on a larger scale brings its own challenges, not least of all being the space to shoot it! Luckily, we have 6,000 square feet to play with at the studio.
As promised, the rather gorgeous video produced by KateH arling of Marmalade Toast for the launch and promotion of Lencarta’s IGBT SuperFast Heads.
Remember young Mollie? Well, I tested our friendship with this particular shoot. I’d previously shot some images with the Lencarta SuperFast heads and Emma, and felt I couldn’t really subject Emma to the same sort of treatment. This particular shoot was to produce the promotional video for the heads, and would involve water, milk yoghurt and colourants. Yep, it was going to be messy and
This was probably the most fun I’ve had on a shoot, for quite a while 🙂 Emma is a long term friend, although I do wonder why she puts up with me when I subject her to such treatment as this. Yes, that’s milk. Lots of it!
