Majesty by Michel Perchin

A mockup I built to show how my product and macro photography of the Michel Perchin Majesty collection reads as a finished editorial feature. Four limited-edition fountain pens, twenty-five of each ever made, in enamel, guilloché, and diamond. Scroll the window below to move through it the way a published piece would.

MICHEL PERCHINTHE MAJESTY COLLECTION

Majesty

Modern royalty in enamel, guilloché & diamond

PHOTOGRAPHED BY HENRY DAVID PHOTOGRAPHY

SCROLL

“Majesty, from the Latin majestas: greatness, splendour, grandeur.”

The Majesty collection by Michel Perchin: four translucent colourways, just twenty-five of each ever made. Photographed against Carrara marble and, in turn, into velvet: enamel drawn up through its guilloché ground, every diamond brought to its fire.

Two Michel Perchin Majesty green guilloche enamel fountain pens crossed, diamond-set clips and lattice collars, on Carrara marble

PLATE I

The Emerald Pair

Translucent green enamel laid over a wave-cut guilloché, the diamond-set clip and lattice collar reading like cathedral tracery. Cap and barrel crossed, as a jeweller would present them.

About this page. The framed gallery above is a mockup I designed to demonstrate how this work performs as a real editorial feature, the kind of presentation a luxury brand or magazine would run. The photographs are real, shot for the Michel Perchin Majesty collection; the surrounding layout is my own showcase, not a third-party publication. It is here to show how effective polished product and macro photography looks once it is actually used. It is a sample of my luxury product photography.
