Biography

Biography is a luxury beauty brand selling face oils, body oils, and lotions. The brand has been featured by Vogue and Vanity Fair as a top choice in the beauty space.

I produced a complete e-commerce photography library of 14 products, handling the shoot, lighting, and retouching, and delivered every image as both web-ready files and transparent PNGs.

OVERVIEW

THE BRIEF

Biography’s product gallery displayed a mix of hero image styles, lifestyle shots, and a few on white backgrounds. This inconsistency undercut the sense of luxury and made the brand feel disjointed.

The company needed a fresh, unified set of static product images on white that conveyed the luminous quality of the oils and had enough depth and volume to justify premium pricing.

Photographer, lighting designer, and retoucher. I organized and shot the full catalog and handled retouching and final delivery, working closely with the CEO and other company leadership to align on direction and approval.

MY ROLE

  • Product photography: Static white-background images of all 14 products

  • Retouching: Detail-focused post-production for every image

  • Transparent PNGs: Cutout versions for use across web, marketing, and partner materials

DELIVERABLES

  • Luminous color as the focal point: The oils’ glow and color set them apart, so the lighting was designed to foreground them.

  • Volumetric lighting over flat studio light: Flat images wouldn’t convey the quality of the product, so I used cards and diffused backlighting to give each bottle dimension and presence.

  • PNG delivery: Transparent versions let the team reuse the images across channels without reshoots.

KEY DECISIONS

OUTCOME

The new product photos significantly improved the cohesion of Biography’s web presence, and company leadership reported a significant increase in sales following the product photo updates. These images remain Biography’s primary product photography, and are used across web, social, and paid advertising.
