Product photography - lighting by Suffolk Designs

I’ve had a variety of assignments recently, which I love. Something I hadn’t done much of, despite my marketing and communications background, is product photography. So it was brilliant to have the opportunity to do that for Sussex based bespoke furniture designer, Suffolk Designs.

Specialising in lighting, Karl’s installations are in shops, pubs and residential properties. Each one is unique as they are handmade with fittings and fixtures chosen by the customer.

The purpose of the shoot was to create material for Karl to use to display his products online for online orders and in his other marketing materials. We felt it was important to shoot in situ to demonstrate how the installations have a functional purpose in conjunction with high end design to serve as impactful decorative features in commercial properties, as well as looking beautiful in someone’s home.

Our three locations were The Fox pub in Sharpthorne, Tufnells boutique in Lindfield and a residential property, all in Sussex.

It was important to capture the overall impact of the lights as well as the detail such as different carefully chosen filaments in the light bulbs, the branding on the up-cycled bottles and the grain of the beautiful cuts of wood that Karl uses.

And it’s not just lighting installations - Karl offers other items such as wine racks and really awesome fire pits, all of which we photographed.

I’ve already seen the images in use as part of an online catalogue of products for orders and on Karl’s social media channels promoting his work overall, which is always really satisfying!

I was so impressed by the lighting and will definitely be putting in an order for my home!
