Natural Cosmetics and Spa products

         

There seems to be a trend towards photographing cosmetic and spa products in a more natural way.  Today I got an email newsletter from the Sultana Spa promoting their products in some very naturally lit still life photos and recently Zineb, from Sens de Marrakech, sent me her lovely picture of a "Doucer de Fiquier" bottle shot in a fig tree.

Here are a few shots that we did for Tchaba using the idea of pure white and tropical green for their White Tea cosmetics.

Rain in the Desert


Alan was back down south the other week but this time in the rain and floods.  The desert is quite a diferent place with the wadis full of churning brown water and the sky grey and heavy.  Here is one of the shots that Alan took on the trip down the Oued Draa.

Riad Zolah in El Beit Magazine


We are delighted that our recent collaboration with talented French journalist Louise Sarrant is bearing fruit. Our first joint article on Dar Ezzahra came out in February in the Egyptian "El Beit" magazine.  This month it is the turn of the fabulous Riad Zolah to be featured in the April edition of "El Beit".
