Why work with studio19?
Lifetime Commercial Usage
Every visual from Studio19 includes a full lifetime commercial license. Use them across paid ads, product pages, wholesale decks, email, retail, or anywhere else. No usage-based fees, no restrictions, no surprises.
Glass & Label Expertise
Reflective jars, tricky label printing, wax surface variation, natural aging. These are the technical realities of your product. We've solved every one. Your final visuals are clean, accurate, and product-true, every single time.
Category expertise from day one
4 years working exclusively in candle and fragrance means I already understand your aesthetic, your customer, and what makes the sale happen. You're directing me, rather than spending your budget educating me.
No handoffs. No layers.
Studio19 is a boutique practice by design. The person you speak with on the first call is the same person behind the camera and behind every post-production decision. Your brief never passes through an assistant.
The Studio19 process
Built to get it right — not just get it done.
i. Discovery & creative direction
We start by understanding your brand, your goals, and the channels your content needs to perform on. The questions we ask at the beginning are the ones that prevent expensive problems later. Nothing moves until direction is locked and approved by you.
ii. Custom mood board & pre-production
Before production begins, you see exactly where we're headed — a fully custom mood board built around your specific product and goals, not recycled references. You approve the vision with complete clarity before a single dollar enters production.
iii. Custom set design & build
Every surface, texture, and compositional element is designed and built for your shoot alone. Visual environments constructed so your product feels inevitable within them — not placed in front of a backdrop, but at home in a scene built around it.
iv. Production focused
Deliberate shoot days where every setup is refined until it earns its place. We work with urgency where it matters and take the time the work requires — always with your timeline in mind.
v. Post-production & delivery
Meticulous retouching that preserves the integrity of the shoot while elevating every detail. Final assets delivered in every aspect ratio your team needs — ready for e-commerce, paid media, retail, and wholesale simultaneously. Most projects deliver within 3–4 weeks of receiving product.
Meet Brant, Doug & Stacy
When Doug and his partners started Eleven//Three, they were doing what most growing candle brands do: shooting on a phone, chasing window light, hoping the results looked good enough. For a while, that worked. The product was strong, the brand had real momentum, and the business was growing.
Then the visuals stopped keeping up. Their room spray line was underperforming. Content wasn't stopping anyone mid-scroll. The brand had outgrown what a phone could do for it — and they knew it.
After working with Studio19, the room spray line reversed course. The brand started feeling like what it actually was — considered, premium, worth the price. Customers began commenting unprompted on the imagery. The gap between what Eleven//Three had built and how it appeared to the world finally closed.
They've been a Studio19 client ever since. Not because they have to be — because the work gives them an edge they're not willing to give up.
"Our overall brand appearance feels more luxe and put together than ever before."
But maybe Doug put it best when asked if he'd recommend Studio19 to other businesses:
"Yes and no. I love to help out Jayden but I don't want him so busy he can't get our work done. No, but seriously, anytime someone asks, we share the info. I just love that we have an edge because of the work."

ELEVEN//THREE CASE STUDY
The Work
Product page imagery, new scent launches, catalog art & more.
There's a version of product photography that's transactional. Show up, shoot the thing, deliver the files… That's not what this is.
I've spent four years studying what makes a candle photograph feel warm instead of cold, inviting instead of clinical, and worth buying instead of just worth looking at. Light, perception, composition, the specific way glass behaves at different angles… I find this genuinely fascinating, which is probably why the work looks the way it does. Most photographers find still life product work tedious. I find it the opposite.
Over the past four years, I've worked with candle and fragrance brands truly at every stage. Brands just crossing into professional imagery for the first time, and brands whose visuals now appear in national retail environments, wholesale catalogs, and high-volume paid campaigns. I've watched what happens when the visuals finally match the product. It changes how customers respond, how buyers respond, how the brand owner feels about what they've built.
That's what I'm here to do for your brand.
Studio19 operates as a boutique practice by design. Every project receives my complete attention from brief to delivery. The person you speak with on the first call is the same person behind the camera and behind every post-production decision.
