Shepherds, as a boutique brand, relies on carefully curated products that reflect its commitment to quality. In my role, I sourced items such as beanies, wash bags, and sustainable toothbrushes to elevate the brand’s offering. With virtually no budget for external resources, I adapted by taking the product photos myself, which would typically have been outsourced or handled by an in-house photographer in larger companies.

I used a DSLR camera to capture high-quality images of the products, ensuring they would be suitable for use across the website and social media. The product photography had to reflect the brand’s premium quality, which was particularly important for a boutique brand like Shepherds. The wash bag and toothbrush were photographed at Hôtel Rochechouart in Paris, adding an extra layer of sophistication and aligning the images with the brand’s stylish, high-end aesthetic.
