cosmetics photography
This personal project showcases how great imagery can be created with any tool—even an iPhone. Using a glitch in the iPhone’s panorama mode, I intentionally created a dynamic trail effect, capturing the iconic YSL branding in a bold and abstract way. The motion blur emphasizes the fast-paced nature of the beauty and fashion industry while maintaining the elegance and refinement associated with YSL. Although this is not a technique I would use on a client’s set, it was an exercise in pushing the boundaries by working within creative constraints. This project highlights how limitations can inspire innovation and artistic exploration.
