COMMISSIONED: NOMI Candles
August 14, 2024Last month, I had the pleasure of working with the exciting new homeware brand Nomi on a product photography project for their e-commerce website. Nomi, known for its beautifully crafted candles, approached me to help bring their products to life online, ensuring that their website showcases their elegant pieces in the best light possible.
For this shoot, we focused on simplicity and sophistication. To highlight the clean, minimalist design of the candles, I opted for a neutral grey background. This allowed the candles to stand out without distraction, making them the focal point of each shot. The simplicity of the backdrop provided a perfect canvas to show off the subtle details and textures of each candle, which I believe are key to Nomi’s brand identity.
In addition to the standard product shots, I wanted to create a little more visual interest and context. I gathered a selection of complementary items that relate to the candles—such as foilage, matches, and other homeware accents—which allowed me to create some more stylised shots. These images evoke a lifestyle vibe that aligns with the calm, cosy atmosphere that candles often inspire. It was a great way to tell a story and invite customers to envision the candles as part of their home decor.
I’m thrilled with how the photos turned out, and I’m excited to see how they’ll help Nomi grow their online presence. Product photography plays a huge role in e-commerce, and it’s always a rewarding experience to collaborate with brands like Nomi to bring their vision to life.
