Location Product Photography of sustainable products shot for the ethical store Swallowtail Hill spanning over five years. A lot of their products were shot outdoors in natural ‘green’ locations. I have also used different backgrounds in the studio for more delicate products such as their jewellery.

Styling Ideas

Given a freehand in styling and props means the client can drop off the products and be assured that she will be happy with the finished location product photography.
