Celia Chen is a freelance photographer based in Toronto and Beijing. She focuses on product photography and draws inspiration from painting, particularly the colourful work of Swiss artist Augusto Giacometti. Her interest in brand-responsive colours and the creative use of light have shaped her painterly approach to product photography. The work shown here is part of a larger series focused on Chanel No. 5 in which she explores light, reflection, and colour to create evocative product imagery.
