Element Tree- Palmetto Citrus Candles

The objective was to explore the intersection of light and scent through product cinematography. We partnered with a local Savannah-based apothecary to translate their signature candle into a high-energy, high-mood social campaign exchanging a single product for a full visual narrative.

Process

I sat with the product to define its "vibe" before ever picking up a camera. By balancing vintage warmth with a clean, modern edge, I translated specific scent notes into a visual language. Pacing and texture were used to mirror the brightness of citrus against the grounding weight of sandalwood, creating a world that feels lit from within.

Outcome

A sensory invitation. A short film that bridges the gap between invigorating and calm. The final edit found its home on social, providing a digital window into a physical space. It’s a visual translation of a mood—inviting the viewer to feel the atmosphere before the match is even struck.
