Commercial Product Photography
misbehave
visually
Creative direction for beauty, drinks, food and lifestyle brands.
What we do
We work with brands who already know visuals matter, and don’t want to play it safe with them.
Because safe is forgettable.
Capture the Curious exists to give brands permission.
Permission to be louder than they’ve been told is sensible.
Permission to be bolder than feels entirely comfortable.
Permission to be a bit weirder, a bit braver, and a lot more memorable.
We lead creative direction, photography and brand film for beauty, food, drink and lifestyle brands. The work is product-led, idea-driven, and designed to show brands at their best without sanding off what makes them interesting.
This isn’t about chasing trends or ticking boxes.
It’s about making clear visual decisions and committing to them properly.
If your brand feels like it’s been holding back visually, we’re here to push it forward.
If you’re happy playing it safe, we’re probably not the right fit.
Who we work with
We work with established and emerging challenger brands across beauty, food, drink and lifestyle.
Typically, the brands we work with:
care deeply about how they look and feel
already invest in design, packaging and brand
want visuals that match the quality of their product
are ready to commit to an idea, not just gather options
Some are scaling. Some are launching something new. Others are refining how they show up. What they have in common is taste, ambition and a willingness to be seen.
If that sounds like you, we’ll get on well.

You come to us because your visuals need to do more.
We start with the idea. What the work should feel like. Where it needs to land. How bold it can be pushed without losing its edge. Then we build the shoot around that, and commit to it properly.
I lead the creative direction and shoot the work myself, supported by a small, trusted team when needed. That keeps the vision tight and the work decisive.
The result is photography and brand film with presence. Visuals that don’t blend in, don’t apologise, and don’t get forgotten five minutes after they’re posted.
If you’re ready to stop playing it safe visually, this is where that starts.
Lights. Camera. IMPACT.

We Chat
We talk about your story, your vibe, your goals — and what kind of reaction you want your video or photos to create and what you want it to do for your business.
Creative Planning
We figure out what needs to be said — and how to say it with feeling. I head into the lab (aka my brain) to develop a vision that captures your essence and aligns with your audience.
Together, we build a loose storyboard that ties back to the original concept (and keeps the chaos in check).
Mood, shot list, message, must-haves — we’ll pin it all down before we hit record or click.
You relax, we shoot
Whether we’re in your venue, on location, or a bubble bath (hey, it happens), I direct and shoot with calm, confident energy .
We’ll capture more than we need so we’ve got plenty to play with in the edit. You just show up I’ve got it from here.
You get your story, ready to share
Once the shoot’s wrapped, I’ll head into edit mode - crafting a first cut that reflects the story, tone, and emotion we planned. You'll receive a review link within 10–14 days so you can comment, tweak, or just say "YES, THIS."
Once it's signed off, I’ll send over your high-quality final cuts - ready to post, share, or premiere. No fuss, no stress, just visuals that are ready to connect.
You made it to the end - that’s commitment. Let’s make it official!
