Kwa Dube Essentials: Product Photography

Kwa Dube Essentials is a South African homeware brand that makes handcrafted, marble-finish candles, candle holders, diffusers and stoneware. Each piece is made by hand, so no two are exactly alike.

The brief was to create product photography for their online store. The imagery had to show off the textures of their nude marble, black marble and creme finishes, and it had to look like the quiet luxury the brand is known for.

Our approach was to keep the styling clean and minimal so the sculptural shapes and marble patterns could stand out. We shot each product on its own, with detail close-ups of the texture, so customers can see what they’re buying. The lighting and composition were designed to suit the brand’s calm, considered feel.

We delivered a full set of product images for the Kwa Dube Essentials website, covering their candle range, 3-hole candle holders and stoneware. The photography is now live on their online store.
