Wild Medicine Soap shoot

Wild Medicine is an American brand from Los Angeles, created by three friends that care about organic and holistic personal care. I saw the brand on Instagram and instantly fell in love. I'm always looking for crystal alternatives and think its the perfect products to talk about on the blog. 
I was hoping to purchase the Titanium treated quartz and tea tree soap, simply as it was my favourite of the seven different soaps. However, it was out of stock in the UK and I wasn't sure how long it would take to arrive so purchased the rose geranium soap that is a collaboration with Content Beauty. 

I really enjoyed shooting this soap, I think the look of it is exactly what I want for my blog and after some post production I will have clean simple images.

Looking back I think I should have wet the soap as you can see the clarity and the crystal better. I was not to know as did not find out until I used it a few times, in order to write a better informed article. I have also realised when referring back to the website I accidentally shot the soap upside down! I cannot re-shoot as the soap is clearly used and the soap now is out of stock! 

Rose Petals

I thought about what feature image this article should have and as it is really about the fragrance of the geranium rose essential oil I decided to try out rose petals on the skin, I also added grass as I really love the natural combination. The geranium also has a slightly minty and fresh smell so feel the grass clippings are appropriate. 

I used coconut oil on the skin which allowed the petals to stick and create an over-oiled look. I used my personal organic stuff but think I should buy some of the cooking oil they sell in Tesco as it was pretty wasteful. 

 Here are some more of the images, I am happy with how the shoot went, however I wasn't able to locate a tripod and found it hard to focus at times as I prefer to shoot manually. It is vital I get a tripod for my next shoot like this.
