NFE Design specialises in scroll-stopping content that converts!
As a beauty product photographer, I love to create skincare swatch images. Swatch photos can be used in many ways and are especially good when used as background images or as part of a flat lay photograph. You can see examples of this on this page, throughout this website and on our @nfedesign Instagram page. Whether it is text announcing a sale, sharing a glowing testimonial or showcasing the ingredients or texture of the product they can be repurposed many times.
Capturing moving content of skincare swatches (as shown in the Instagram reels above), can be especially enticing. I use them a lot on my own Instagram page, and they always get much more engagement than other reels. These clips, known as B-roll, are a favourite type of content we love to create — the messier, the better.
How swatch and drip
photography works.
These shoots require a clear brief. Once the product is exposed to air, it can soften or change texture so timing is key. We shoot with natural light, meaning once the lighting is perfect then we need to move quickly. Once spilled and swatched, the product can’t be reused, so we plan carefully to make every shot count.

We always shoot with natural lighting, but we can adjust it to create defined shadows if preferred.

White is a classic choice, but we also offer other tones to suit your brand’s aesthetic.
