Our Photo Was In The Sunday Times Style Magazine!

We were just about to part ways for the festive period when a notification popped up on our Instagram - it was something exciting, the perfect end to a great year!

We had done a shoot midway through 2022 with Eniola, the founder of Nuola Wig's, a luxury wig brand that she had started from her house and now had a thriving business. She wanted a series of strong photos to choose from for an article she was to be featured in about her business journey. The notification we saw was that our photo was in The Sunday Times Style Magazine alongside a write-up about Eniola. We were so excited and proud to see our work featured!

The first part of the shoot was a focus on creating a scene with Eniola at the centre between some of her amazing wigs.

Once we had completed the first set of regal-looking shots, we thought it would be fun to mix things up a bit. We asked Eniola to jump around and play with the wigs, creating something more dynamic and playful. We were absolutely delighted when one of these shots was chosen for the final article - it was a spontaneous decision that really paid off!

Here is the photo in the magazine:

A huge thanks to Eniola for the wonderful shoot and a massive shout-out to Praise Law Makeup for the amazing look:

Product Photography: Sword and Stone

Last year we were sent on a photography mission by Tim, the founder of Sword and Stone. Tim’s aim with the brand is creating exciting and edgy (pun intended) high-quality products for budding home chefs! We were lucky enough to photograph his latest product, codenamed “The Spitfire”. We wanted to create a range of environments to show the knife in all its glory.

Creating the scenes

Autumnal Veg

We decided to make the autumnal scene fairly rustic looking, so we popped down to the Goods Shed in Canterbury to hunt for some truly earthy looking and photograph worthy veg. We picked out some lovely looking squashes, radishes, shallots and pears, which all had lovely colours and textures, perfect for the scene.

The Beach bar

Moving away from the moody scene we wanted something more fresh and summery; an image which invoked the feeling of a beach bar or warm summer afternoon spent in your garden with cocktails and fresh salad.

The Christmas dinner

Tim also wanted some shots of the knife in action. This one was based around Christmas dinner preparation. We went for a moody atmosphere with a main focus on the knife.

The New Year’s party

As the knife is also a show-off piece we felt a dinner party setting was perfect to help illustrate this. Orange and an old-fashioned cocktail felt like the perfect props for this winter evening party scene.

The launch of the knife!

We wish Tim all the best with Sword and Stone in 2021!

The new knife has now officially launched!
