recent styling & photography work: StCao Ceramics

One of my goals for this year was to take on more styling work. Recently I was lucky enough to partner with one of the artists in my new studio building and help her shoot photos for her freshly opened online shop, StCao Ceramics! Steph needed help not only with styling her gorgeous mugs, bowls, colanders, and plates, but also shooting the photos themselves. I often shoot the blog photos here, so I welcomed the challenge and had a blast working on this project. Here are a few of the photos:

The aesthetic of StCao Ceramics is very minimalist and Japanese-inspired. The glazes have a really lovely depth to them, so I kept the styling clean and un-fussy, focusing on rumpled natural linen and a spoon or piece of fruit to show scale.
