Luxury Product, jewelry, and materials photography, Athens
For brands and manufacturers whose materials are the hardest part to get right — metal, glass, crystal, and stone
Polished metal reflects everything around it, so what shows up in a chrome surface is a picture of the room. Faceted glass does the opposite: it transmits, refracts, and disappears against most backgrounds. Brushed brass has a directional grain that reads either as expensive metal or as a smudge. Three materials, three unrelated problems, and a solution to one of them transfers to none of the others.
That is most of the job. Reflections controlled rather than blown out. Colour that matches the object in hand, not an approximation of it. Surfaces that hold detail whether they are polished or matte. What looks right in camera is what gets delivered, nothing is rescued in post.
The same standard holds across a single piece or a full seasonal catalogue, so a collection reads as one consistent set rather than a handful of images shot on different days. That consistency is usually what a catalogue, a lookbook or a press kit is missing.
Work covers fine jewellery, watches, objects, bottles, ceramics, stone and surface samples. For a jewelry brand selling into the US, imagery gets judged next to work made in New York and Paris, and that is the standard I shoot to.
What a project delivers
Final retouched files at medium-format resolution, ready for e-commerce, print catalogue, trade-fair display or press. Retouching is done in-house, or sourced to an outside retoucher, colour holds from the first frame of a shoot to the last file delivered. Licence terms are stated in the estimate rather than left implied.
Based in Athens, shooting across Greece and the EU. Products can be couriered to the studio or shot on site at the manufacturer's premises.
