Studies: ongoing still life + product explorations

Material studies that shape how I build image families for editorial, ecommerce, and campaign work. Each series tests visual systems that carry into client work.

Material beauty

Cosmetics still life focused on texture, material contrast, and visual clarity. This approach carries into how I plan image families for PDPs, lookbooks, and campaigns.
