Philosophy:
E-commerce photography must balance clarity with artistry. The purpose is to showcase the craftsmanship, detail, and sculptural qualities of each frame while maintaining the cinematic, elevated tone that defines Les Monts.
PROJECT BRIEF:
Capture high-quality, visually appealing product images that accurately represent Les Monts' latest collection. The photographs should enhance the website’s aesthetic, increase user engagement, and drive online sales by showcasing the products in the best possible light.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project involved a comprehensive e-commerce product photoshoot for www.lesmonts.com. As director, my aim was to capture imagery that both highlighted the artistry of our products and conveyed a sense of boldness and intimacy. I sought to generate photography so compelling and striking that viewers would feel as if the images were within their reach. The final deliverables comprised meticulously optimized images designed to enhance the website’s visual appeal, engage customers, and foster increased interaction. From thorough pre-shoot preparations to detailed post-production, I managed every detail to ensure a seamless process and timely delivery, all while maintaining unwavering fidelity to the brand’s refined standards.
Tone & Mood
Clean, timeless, and sophisticated.
Minimal distractions—focus on the eyewear itself.
Editorial influence remains present, but always in service of clarity.
Composition & Angles
Hero Angle: Straight-on, centered frame view, shot at eye level.
Side Angle: 45° and true profile views to highlight frame thickness, hinge details, and silhouette.
Temple & Detail Shots: Close-ups of engraving, finishes, and lens colors.
Lighting & Background
Lighting: Soft, even, controlled lighting that reveals detail without glare. Avoid flat or clinical setups—retain depth and subtle shadow.
Background: Neutral, textured tones (off-white, stone, soft gray, or warm black) that echo the brand’s refined aesthetic.
Consistency: Angles, scale, and lighting should remain uniform across all frames for a cohesive storefront experience.
Color & Finish
True-to-life color representation is critical. Frames must match the physical product.
Retain richness and depth of tone—avoid oversaturation or washed-out imagery.
Subtle film-like grain or tonal depth may be used to keep images warm and tactile rather than sterile.
Product as Artifact
Frames should be presented as objects of art and craft, not just commodities.
Every shot should highlight sculptural form, materiality, and detail in a way that conveys reverence.
