Recently, I had the delightful opportunity to collaborate with Wild Jasmine Natural Apothecary, a business dedicated to crafting nature-derived personal care products. In this collaboration, I exchanged my product photography services for their amazing soaps and lip balms, and the experience was truly inspiring. I aimed to create images that conveyed the brand’s commitment to natural ingredients and conscious living, while also staying true to their desired aesthetic.

Showcasing the Vibrant Scents of Wild Jasmine Products

From the moment I received the products, I was captivated by their beautiful scents and textures. The aromas of Clove Bud & Orange, Coconut Lime, and Black Cherry Tinted lip balms were immediately noticeable, as were the distinct scents of the Charcoal & Tea Tree, Lemon Eucalyptus & Litsea, Orange & Anise, Spiced Coffee, and Lavender & Indigo soaps.

I selected these five soaps and three lip balms, creating curated “bundles” to highlight their versatility. I wanted to focus on pairing scents with color and aesthetic. For example, the Spiced Coffee soap was photographed with coffee beans and warm, brown tones, creating a cozy, inviting feel. For the Coconut Lime lip balm, I used palm leaves to evoke a tropical vibe.

I carefully arranged the soaps in a flatlay style, showcasing their unique colors and textures, while the lip balms were photographed to emphasize their smooth, nourishing qualities. I also took individual staged/lifestyle photos of each product, ensuring every detail was captured. The goal was to provide Wild Jasmine with high-quality, true-to-color images that would enhance their online presence and drive sales. Ultimately, the images I created helped to truly showcase the quality of the Wild Jasmine products.

Overcoming Creative Challenges in Product Photography

One of the challenges I faced was photographing the products without purchasing specific props for each item. Since this was a collaboration, I relied on items I already had, using colors and textures to represent the scents and ingredients. For paid sessions, prop costs are discussed and included in the quote, but I enjoy the challenge of creative problem-solving.

The Impact of Quality Visuals on Wild Jasmine’s Success

After delivering the images, I was thrilled to receive such positive feedback from Wild Jasmine. They mentioned how the photos beautifully represented their brand and significantly improved their online presence, leading to increased sales. This feedback reaffirmed my passion for helping small businesses thrive through compelling visuals. Furthermore, I loved the products. The lip balms were incredibly moisturizing, and the soaps left my skin feeling clean and refreshed. Truly, working with Wild Jasmine was a rewarding experience, and I’m excited to see their continued success. I believe that high-quality product photography is essential for any business looking to stand out in today’s digital landscape. Therefore, I was happy to provide Wild Jasmine with images that will support their future growth.
