Felix For You

Prop styling for Felix

I sourced all props for Kailee’s Felix For You shoot. For the lifestyle aspect of the shoot I sourced things such as bathroom items including towels, and small bathroom accessories. Sticking close to a brand palette, I sourced books, cups, mugs, plates, blankets, duvet covers, sheets, pillow covers, flowers, small personal items, and office items. For the studio aspect of the shoot I also sourced all backgrounds.

For custom props, I made tile backgrounds with stick-on vinyl, wrapped books in paper that matched Felix’s brand colours, wrapped up toothpaste with white vinyl so it looked more aesthetic and painted a tissue holder in Felix orange.

On set, I floated items for the composite floating shots and arranged all items as seen in the below photographs.

Cheekbone beauty

Styling for Cheekbone

My styling work for Cheekbone Beauty has included sourcing things from backgrounds, to fruits, blending strawberries for a ‘juicy’ look, ensuring that the product is perfectly centered for e-commerce shots, as well as swatches of their lipstick, lipgloss lines, and complexion pencils. I have also worked as a photo assistant to Kailee on various shoots where prop styling was not necessary.

Ever & IVY

Product styling for Ever & Ivy

Editorial product photos for the Ever & Ivy shoot were very minimal ensuring the jewelry was the main focus. Prop styling included custom spray painted wood blocks that fit within the company’s brand colours. Extra geometric foam props were rented from Propbox.

For the e-commerce shots, I provided all background surfaces and floated jewelry when needed.

For the lifestyle portion of the shoot I kept all jewelry forward facing, polished jewelry while on-figure and acquired household items such as blankets, candles, vases and books in the brands colours.
