London Beauty Photographer for Makeup & Skincare Brands

Beauty portraits, campaign imagery and minimalist product photography

I’m Jana Kukebal, a London-based commercial beauty photographer. I create beauty portraits and campaign imagery for makeup, skincare and cosmetics brands, with a focus on clean, luminous skin, accurate colour and elegant, minimalist styling. I also photograph skincare and cosmetics products, from simple packshots to styled still life, so your campaign and e-commerce visuals look consistent.

Beauty portraits for makeup & skincare brands

Close-up and editorial beauty portraits for foundation, lip, eye and skincare campaigns. I work with your make-up artists, models and creative team (or can recommend them) to deliver realistic skin texture, true-to-product colour and refined retouching.
