Guerlain Perfume

Jonathan has photographed a great proportion of his advertising work on film and Polaroid, a passion and skill that hasn’t been abandoned with the arrival of the digital era.

This Guerlain Perfume shoot was for Luxure Magazine, shot using 8×10 black and white instant film made by the Impossible Project. The quality and effect created by using this process has really enhanced the romantic and luxurious feel of the set, and resulted in delicate and beautiful images.
