Luxury Candle Product Photography

I’m launching a line of premium scented candles and need a photographer who can translate that quiet-luxury feel into striking visuals. The images must be elegant and luxurious, with a clean, minimal aesthetic that lets the product speak for itself.

Here’s what matters most:
• The ornate labels and matte-white packaging need to be crystal-clear and colour-accurate.
• Tight, refined close-ups should reveal wax texture, wick detail, and any metallic accents.
• Aspirational lifestyle scenes have to feel effortless yet curated, ready for immediate use on Instagram—our primary platform.

Expect to shoot each candle from multiple angles (front hero, angled, overhead, detail) against neutral, sophisticated backdrops under premium lighting. I’m looking for creative compositions that can double as ad placements and fit seamlessly into our forthcoming online catalogue.

All files must arrive fully edited, colour-corrected and retouched, delivered both in high-resolution print format and web-optimised versions. Consistency across the set is critical; whites can’t drift warm, and gold foil must stay true to life.

Deliverables
• High-resolution JPEG/TIFF images for every candle style in three categories:
– Label & packaging focus
– Product detail close-ups
– Styled lifestyle shot for Instagram
• Web-ready copies (sRGB, 2000 px long edge, ≤300 KB)
• Professional retouching on every frame

If you’ve previously photographed beauty, lifestyle or luxury products, please share links to two comparable projects, outline your equipment and lighting approach, and confirm your availability for a one-day studio session later this month.
