Product & lifestyle photographer in Christchurch.
Goods don’t sell on hype. They sell on belief.
Kerosene creates product and lifestyle photography for makers, retailers and product brands across Christchurch, Canterbury and the South Island. The work is built around material, use, craft and context—showing what the product is, how it feels and where it belongs.
What we photograph
- Product in use and lifestyle context
- Material, texture, scale and finish
- Making process and people behind the product
- Packaging, details and campaign variations
How we work
Controlled light when accuracy matters; natural or motivated light when feel matters. Sets are restrained and every prop or location has a reason to be there. Kerosene is best suited to product stories and useful brand libraries rather than high-volume catalogue production.
What the images need to do
A flexible collection of hero images, use cases, details and process that communicates quality quietly and gives the product a believable place in the world.
A good fit if
A strong fit for maker-led and product-based businesses that need customers to understand the object, the material and the reason it matters—not just see a clean packshot.
Where we work
Based near Christchurch and available across Canterbury and the South Island. Products can be photographed on location or within a planned lifestyle setting.
Selected work
A fuller edit of the work, sequenced to show the people, places, process and details that make each field distinct.
