Product shoot - FlickInc

Flick Inc. was born from Frances Kierman’s passion for whimsical art inspired by South Africa’s natural beauty. As an illustrator and glass and ceramic artist, Frances blends traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics, drawing from interior design, fashion, and contemporary trends.

Starting as Flick Glass Studios and My China Ceramics, the brand now offers handcrafted products that add joy and colour to everyday life. All Flick Inc. items are produced in their Muizenberg studio by Frances and a team of five artisans, ensuring quality and authenticity.

I took photos of the Dichroic Glass Earrings showcasing and captivating colour play unique to dichroic glass. "Dichroic" means "two-coloured," where light passing through appears as one colour while reflected light shows another. These dynamic earrings are created by layering vaporized metal oxides on glass, shifting hues from every angle. You can only elevate your style with their vibrant, ever-changing sparkle.

After the challenge of capturing the glass earrings and their unique way of changing colour, I moved over to the porcelain stud earrings. Each piece is meticulously crafted with care and attention to detail. Hand-rolled, cut, and fired, these earrings are adorned with intricate designs painted by hand using fine glaze and 22kt gold lustre. Combining exquisite artistry with a touch of elegance, these porcelain stud earrings are perfect for adding a unique and sophisticated flair to any outfit.

You can shop these beautiful pieces of art (to add to your wardrobe) at their online store www.flickinc.co.za or visit their physical shop at The Watershed at the V&A Waterfront

The perfect cake doesn't exist...or does it??

Product photography is essential for selling your product, be it high end jewely or a carrot cake! Visuals are the first impression customers get of your product when they open up your web browser or social media page. High-quality images communicate professionalism, build trust, and highlight details that words alone cannot capture. You should almost be able to taste that cake when you see the image.

Clear, appealing photos showcase features, textures, and usability, helping buyers imagine owning the product. In e-commerce, where customers cannot touch or test items, photography bridges that gap by creating emotional connection and confidence. Strong visuals also enhance marketing campaigns, social media presence, and brand identity. Simply put, compelling product photography doesn’t just display your product—it persuades, engages, and ultimately drives sales by turning interest into purchase.

Gourmet products to assist the consumer to make gourmet meals for friends and family by simply opening a bottle or a jar.

Product Shoot -Fatsak

This time around we went to the factory, set up studio there and did the whole range of products. The Fatsak, Pupsak, Flipsak… all of them. We had a lot of fun shooting these and I just wished I could fit one into my camera bag ;-)  I can really recommend a Fatsak to chill/sit/sleep on. Produced in Cape Town according to an environmentally-friendly manufacturing process and fair working conditions for its employees, FatSak rapidly became a modern home must-have.

Here I’ve just posted all the different products from the one material.

Product shoot - Village Chemicals

As I state on my “about” section of my website…no job is too big or too small… or in this case..too “strange” Think I’ve managed to make some cleaning products look pretty good in these few shots.
