Cosmetics and Skincare Product Lighting

Lighting is an important part of the process when photographing cosmetics, beauty and skincare products. Lighting assists in emphasizing the key essence of the product and highlighting its unique features. Skincare products require detailed attention to the packaging and product appearances. One of the important aspects of the lighting is to allow your customers to imagine the product as a part of their life.

We achieve perfect images by utilising various lighting techniques. In some cases, artificial light source might not offer soft and gentle touch to the image. For some cosmetics, beauty and skincare products in particular with lots of details and high-gloss finish, manipulating light sources is the one and most effective option. By utilizing high-end sophisticated photo and lighting equipment in combination with the experience and expertise, we are able to produce clean, crispy and captivating images that your customers will absolutely love. Furthermore, by applying the right light source such as flashes, reflective screens and other equipment, we are able to gain more control over shadows, reflections and image crispiness.

skincare product photography positioning

Product Positioning and Angles

Accurate product positioning and selecting the right angle play an important role in the final image results. When you’re selling a product presentation is as important as the product itself. Selecting the right angle when positioning products will enhance product appearance and establish a realistic picture.

There are few main angles when photographing cosmetics, beauty and skincare products.

Front on angle is the most popular angle when showcasing cosmetics, beauty and skincare bottles and tubes.

When there is a need to feature product labelling slightly of the top angle is selected. Such angle allows us to demonstrate the product from the front as well as to capture the product top where brand name is visible.

In addition to photographing products, product packaging may also be included in the image. When allowing product packaging to be part of the image, we are able to provide the customers with “all-inclusive” image.

Selecting flat lay from the top angle allow to showcase products such as powders, cosmetics and makeup palettes. When it comes to photographing cream tubs, the lid is taken off and positioned next to the tub. Such representation features not only product packaging but also its content, brand name and labelling. We ensure that each product is photographed at the angle that highlights product features at its best.

Focus and Reflection

Packaging and its content in cosmetics, beauty and skincare products can have a highly reflective surface. The key when photograph such products is to maintain natural reflection and shadowing. To achieve the perfect image we focus on shaping and controlling light that will eliminate some of the incorrect reflections and shadowing.

When it comes to cosmetics, beauty and skin care products, the products need to be presented in most flattering and visually striking appearance. Beautiful and high-quality images that showcase every detail of your product will guarantee customer engagement.

In order to really capture and captivate your customer’s attention, we focus on producing product images that are sharp and crisp with natural shadows and reflection. The consistency of a flawless image is to accurately highlight the right reflections and avoid any undesirable ones.

The customers need to be able to learn about your product as much as possible in order to make a confident purchase. That is why accurate representation of your product is absolutely crucial. We achieve great results by utilising our skills, equipment, knowledge and expertise so that you and your customers can benefit from picture-perfect and eye-catching images.
