Fantasy & Fern
Specialising in lifestyle product photography, I offer curated photoshoots to help support marketing campaigns for upcoming & released books. This provides you with the flexibility to establish the ambiance through setting, props, and editing styles. Photoshoots are tailored to accommodate the narrative you’d like to convey to your target readers.
When to choose lifestyle photography
Studio photography is excellent for keeping visuals clean and simple, especially if the product has specific features you'd like to highlight.
In contrast, lifestyle photography can stretch further in conveying the atmosphere & setting of the book. Whether that's through props, lighting, location, in-situ images allow the book to speak for itself.
Lifestyle, or 'in world' photos can continue to project the narrative of the story beyond the cover & blurb ensuring that the book appeals to your target audience. 'Aesthetic' images can also do wonders for engagement and shareability on social media.

Outdoor photography
Perfect for more atmospheric reads, outdoor product shots incorporate an immersive feel, giving readers a glimpse of the world they're stepping into. This option focuses less on props, and more on invoking the feelings of the story.
Indoor photography
Indoor shots are an excellent choice if you'd like to tie in little nods to the story via props & environment. While it's great to blend in aspects of the cover, it's also a good opportunity to expand on what readers can expect from the story, using imagery that may not be represented in the cover. Here we can set the tone for genres such as dark academia, romantasy, mystery etc. We can create a setting that mirrors the world within the book.
AI Policy
Every single aspect of my work is created by me. Generative AI has no place in my work, nor will it ever. My sets/backdrops are carefully designed & created to compliment the book in accordance to with the brief provided to me. Props are carefully chosen, and sometimes handmade, to help best represent the campaign. I'm lucky enough to live in the Forest of Dean & am able to regularly scout out new locations for outdoor shoots, finding the perfect in-world settings for your titles. My photos are taken as high-res images, and are compressed for social media & website use, offering you the highest quality images possible. All photos are professionally edited by me, with a strong attention to detail when it comes to accurate colour representation in artwork. If you have any questions at all about how my photos are created, please do reach out and I'll be more than happy to share details. Behind the scenes reels can be found on my instagram (@fantasyandfern) if you'd like to see a little more on what goes into creating the images for your campaigns.
