Capturing the essence of a product is about more than showcasing its full form—it’s about discovering the story hidden in its details. For this personal project, photographer QUENTIN DÉCAILLET focused on YSL’s iconic Y perfume bottle, challenging himself to highlight the subtle textures, intricate angles, and luxurious design without ever revealing the full product.
"Through careful attention to light, reflection, and transparency, I aimed to emphasize the artistry behind each contour, elevating the understated elements that make this bottle so visually striking. This approach allowed me to explore how details can convey sophistication, luxury, and intrigue, turning a simple object into a visual narrative.
Projects like this remind me of the power of light, framing, and design in creating captivating imagery. Each detail serves as an opportunity to celebrate craftsmanship and refinement, capturing the spirit of luxury in every shot." Quentin Décaillet, photographer.
