Samples of my product photography. For each photograph, I style the product, photograph the product, and edit the final image. Based on the client's request, I will provide multiple images including horizontal and vertically styled shots, close-ups, full-product images, and sneak peek images. Products are photographed per the branding style and image of the brand.
