Amazon Smart Plug
Commercial Product Photography
About This Project
I worked with Amazon to photograph their new Smart Plug. The project involved styling the plug in real home settings around Los Angeles, showing it in kitchens, living rooms, and workspaces. The challenge with something this small is making a compact device feel significant within a larger environment. Each setup was designed to tell a small story about convenience and connectivity in the home. Something I think about a lot with product work is how people actually interact with these things. Nobody looks at their smart plug the way it appears in a catalog, so I try to photograph it the way someone would actually encounter it: plugged into a kitchen outlet with a coffee maker nearby, or tucked behind a nightstand lamp. That approach of grounding products in real moments is what I keep coming back to in my commercial and lifestyle work. It makes for images that feel honest rather than unrealistic, unrelatable scenarios.
