Here’s a little to earlier shoots for the brand in 2021. Grit & Stones has been active since 2020, but the website and short films that revolve around the products didn’t go live till 2023. A combination of an iPhone and Nikon camera were mostly used for the original look book. Combination of industrial and surrealism ideas similar to the films how they start in the present world, and drift into abstract. Some photos went live, others just sit on a hard drive/iPhone cloud until I run into them. I used The Signature Red Tiger Eye Cube Bracelet in many of the early shoots and it’s probably one of the most popular bracelet in the brand.

New addition to the store. Limited batch of the Heishi disc faceted Tourmaline bracelet. Usually black Tourmaline is worn for grounding and protection. Experimented a bit on this edit with a combination of images on Photoshop. Usually I’m on Premier Pro for video editing and some of the next installments in The Portal series will feature a mystical/space theme (The Portal Part 3: Chapter 1 included star lights around a ram skull created with the use of a lens filter). Used a fog machine for some of the smoke.

Camera: nikonz9 50mm art lens

Lens Filter: Double Liner

Lighting: .us .global macro photography lights, RF-05b RGB Panel Pro
