Cosmetics

David Lineton is a cosmetics photographer in London working across skincare, haircare and colour cosmetics, from clean packshots to macro texture and campaign stills.

Clients include:

Unilever,

Boots,

Dove,

Feel,

Glamour,

Glass, gloss plastic and metallic caps each reflect differently, and creams, oils and gels need controlled macro work to read true to colour. David solves this with tailored lighting rigs, as on the skincare ranges shot for Boots and the campaigns for Feel.
