Gold is one of the most demanding finishes to photograph. It picks up every light source, shifts with the angle, and can go from luxurious to flat in a single stop of exposure.
Getting it right means understanding how light wraps around metallic surfaces — and knowing when to let the reflection work for you instead of fighting it.
From facial masks to razors to gilded home goods, the products in this category carry a premium price point and the photography has to match that expectation before the customer ever reads the description.
If your product is gold, your imagery should feel like it too. 👑
