A few months ago, I was contacted by a brand that specializes in 100% leather belts. They wanted to send me their product to take some photos for their website. In a way, I can say that this is the first international brand to sponsor me. They trusted my talent and gifted me these belts in exchange for professional photos.
I reached out to a friend who is a model to model the belts while I took the photos. I went to his place and we picked out different outfits that would complement the various belts to create variety and originality in each photo.
I'll start by showing you one of my favorites, the black belt that looks quite elegant with a formal outfit:
I took the photos with a focus on making the belts the stars of the show.
The next photo is of a brown belt. We chose an outfit with a color scheme that made it stand out even more:
The following belt is a darker brown. We also picked another outfit to help it shine even more!
I took a photo of all the belts together so you could see how different their color are:
For all the photos, I used my Canon RP camera with a 50mm f/2.8 lens and natural light.
Once we were happy with the results, I went home to continue taking photos, this time a "product photo" style. My idea was to evoke masculinity in these shots:
The brand owner was super happy with the results. He even told me they were better than he expected and the photos brought his website to life. And now, I'm the proud owner of 3 beautiful 100% leather belts that will be with me for many years!
I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as we did
