Saltwater Creative Studio

Product photography for skincare, wellness and beauty brands. Saltwater Creative Studio is a photography studio located in Sydney's Northern Beaches.

Based on Sydney's Northern Beaches, I bring 13 years of retail marketing experience to every shoot - so the images I deliver are built to sell, not just look pretty. Our aim is to help businesses elevate their images through product photography, e-commerce and lifestyle photography.

// HERO SHOT //

Every e-commerce brand needs a hero shot in its asset library.

It’s the image where the product is the undisputed subject. No lifestyle distraction. No supporting cast.

The lighting is intentional, and the angle is chosen to show your product at its most compelling.

This is the image you’ll use on your website, in your ads, and anywhere else your brand needs to show up and make an impression.

If your primary product image isn’t doing this job, let’s fix that.

I had the best time shooting this gallery for .

The brief was elegant with an edge, and the clean packaging gave me such a beautiful canvas to work with. Lots of shadow play on this shoot. More to come.

It’s okay to start small. 📸

A bit of food for thought before you book that next big shoot.

Some of my clients come to me every month for a small shoot. Just a handful of images. That’s it.

And it gives them everything they need. Fresh social media content, new imagery for their website, and something to show off whenever they launch a new product.

No big production. No massive brief. Just a regular, simple shoot that keeps their brand looking current.

And here’s what people don’t always think about. Over time, those images build into a really valuable library of assets. Content for ads, for email campaigns, for seasonal promotions. It all adds up.

That’s exactly what my monthly retainer is designed for. Small, regular, done.

If that sounds like something your brand needs, get in touch. I’d love to help. 🤍

People often ask how long it takes to get the shot - and honestly, the answer is never the same twice.

Sometimes I might nail it in under 20 mins. The lighting is perfect and the composition is quick and easy.

Other times? We’re talking hours. Adjusting the light. Rebuilding a balancing act that keeps toppling the second I step away - with multiple props holding things in place that you’ll never even see, because they get retouched out entirely. 🪄

Let me give you a little insight - that little stone sphere and travertine piece didn’t just sit there obediently. 😅

This is also why pricing is never straightforward - because no two shoots are the same. Every project has its own scope, its own challenges, its own time. That’s exactly why everything is custom-quoted rather than pulled from a price list.

Because if it were that simple, it probably wouldn’t look like this. 🌿

Attention skincare & beauty brands! 📣

Did you know that social media influences about 70% of global online beauty purchases?

That’s why it’s so important to show colour and texture - it helps consumers understand the formula inside the bottle.

Next time you’re planning a shoot, make sure texture shots are part of the shot list.

When your visuals work well together - similar tones, similar feel, similar energy - people notice.

Over time, they begin to recognise your style and connect it back to your brand without needing to see your logo.

And that matters. In Australia, 3 in 5 people use social media to research brands before they buy. So what they’re seeing and how it all sits together is shaping their perception long before they enquire.

For me, consistency isn’t about making everything match perfectly. It’s about whether the images feel like they belong in the same world.

• similar lighting • colours that make sense together • framing that feels balanced • edits that don’t compete with each other

When someone can recognise your work at a glance, that’s when your brand stops blending in and starts sticking.

New work for . 🤍

So good seeing these images live across socials and the website. These were shot to work as hero images and clean e-commerce pack shots - all designed to feel cohesive across every touch point.

📌 Pro tip: pack shots don’t have to be on a white background.

White backgrounds are great for consistency and e-commerce - but they’re not the only way to create clean, professional imagery.

Thoughtful coloured backgrounds can:
• elevate your brand identity
• add depth without distraction
• help products stand out on social pages and in ads
• still feel polished and premium

The goal of a strong pack shot isn’t “white” - it’s clarity, lighting and intention.

Your packaging was designed with purpose. Your imagery should support that.
