Nectar Product Photography
In the world of organic, cruelty-free personal care products, Nectar Body and Bath reigns supreme. Their collection of soap bars, shampoo bars, and other natural delights has captured the hearts of many. When Nectar sought to enhance their connection with new customers, they turned to Hart Design for guidance. Upon diving into the challenge, we quickly realised that Nectar’s DIY product photography was missing that certain “je ne sais quoi” that makes their products so charming. Our aim was to capture the very soul of Nectar’s soap and shampoo bars through a fresh lens, creating visuals that resonate and captivate.

Product Imagery for the Modern Era
Gone are the days of uninspired product photography, where Nectar’s offerings were showcased against a sterile white backdrop with a sprinkle of greenery from a String of Pearls pot plant. While the touch of nature was well-intentioned, it became a repetitive motif across all product shots, ultimately rendering them dull as a collective.
The textures and graceful contours of Nectar’s all-natural soap products are a work of art in themselves. However, the initial product images lacked that spark that truly befits these enchanting creations. We set out to infuse a burst of creativity into every shot, giving these delightful products the visual allure they so rightfully deserve.
Setting the Scene for an Authentic Experience
In our quest to redefine Nectar’s product photography, we bid farewell to the sterile white paper background. We embraced something more captivating – a bathroom tile, nearly white with a subtle, intriguing swirl of darker shades. Why? Because we wanted to transport the viewer into the very environment where these delightful products come to life: the bathroom.
This ingenious change imbued our shots with context, forging a deeper connection with the audience. The textured backdrop exudes a cosy warmth, perfectly complementing the essence of Nectar’s creations. Simplicity reigns supreme in our approach, ensuring that the background never steals the spotlight. After all, a darker or busier tile would have led us down a completely different path.
Enhancing the Product Storytelling
In the dynamic world of product photography, props often play an unsung yet vital role, infusing each item with personality. At Nectar, we broke free from the norm by placing product-specific props front and centre. This gave us a burst of freshness in every shot, giving each product its distinct identity while weaving a clear visual narrative. By leaving behind the overused String of Pearls, we allowed each product to shine in its unique glory. This creative twist not only showcases their individual charm but also provides viewers with a clear understanding of what sets each product apart.
In our pursuit of redefining product photography, we boldly established an in-house pop-up photography studio. To unlock the full potential of light from every angle. The outcome? Remarkably transformed product shots with unrivalled clarity, enriched depth, and soft, inviting shadows. With this innovative lighting approach, we have revitalised our product imagery, ensuring each item exudes irresistible allure and modern sophistication. Say goodbye to harsh shadows and welcome a captivating visual experience.
