When your creative calls for handmade details, Maximalist gives you more.

Luxury hardware maker, Modern Matter, asked us to create a series of still lifes with an editorial point of view. Using elements we designed and made by hand, Maximalist delivered three concepts — museum, natural curiosities and jewel box —highlighting the quality and craftsmanship in every piece.

Product photography can be super boring, so we called Maximalist to change it up. Eddie is a genius at styling products and props to create stories that sell.
