Feast

Feast is a jewelry brand known for combining found and sourced organic elements of pearl, shell, coral and glass. The brand upcycles vintage and deadstock chains to lighten their footprint while adding a vintage aesthetic.

Feast needed fresh imagery to showcase their rapidly evolving collection of handmade pieces on vendor sites and social media. For this project, I wanted to draw a clear line between inspirational and material sources—connecting the jewelry to its origins in sea, sand, stone, and organic forms.

I used AI to evolve my workflow throughout this photoshoot. It helped me to develop shot lists, anticipate natural light movement throughout the day, and explore connections to historical art movements like early modernist photography and Land Art. These references deepened my approach to photographing Feast's delicate pieces within vast landscapes.
