Happy Place Candles

I was commissioned by Agne Poliunaite to take photographs of her beautiful Happy Place candle.

Agne has a beautiful candle product range, and this one is no exception. The candle is made from soy wax and has a fantastic vanilla aroma, as I can testify from the smell in the studio now! The brief was to capture the candle from different angles, with different backgrounds, for display online on her website and selling channels such as Etsy.

Beeswax or soy candles.

These candles burn cleaner than regular paraffin wax. Beeswax candles clean the air by releasing negative ions into the air which bind with toxins and help remove them from the air.
