Why Kate Spade Turned New York City Into Part of the Product Story

A handbag can be photographed almost anywhere. Place it on a seamless background, light it carefully, show the hardware and leather clearly, and the resulting image can do an excellent job of documenting the product.

Can One Product Photo Really Become an Entire Brand Campaign?

For decades, commercial product photography followed a fairly predictable sequence.

What Google Product Studio Reveals About the Future of Lifestyle Product Photography

A traditional lifestyle product photograph can require considerably more than a camera. A small brand photographing a ceramic mug might need a photographer, lighting, a suitable location, surfaces, props, styling, editing, and enough production time to create several usable variations.

Why Dressing One Level Above the Office May Still Be the Safest First-Impression Strategy

The modern office has made first-impression dressing harder, not easier. A candidate can arrive for an interview in a blazer and tailored trousers only to discover that the employees evaluating them are wearing jeans, sneakers, or hoodies.
