Gloves of Gucci: Photographing Irish designer Paula Rowan’s stunning collection
t’s been a very strange few years for us all. The dreaded Covid has taken it’s toll on us all and now it’s time kick back and start taking control of our lives again.
At Norton Photography and Retouching David, Daniel and I have not been idle. We have handled whatever work has come our way and the studio has been quite busy right across the full spectrum of our capabilities.
We have been very busy with our Beverage Photography and we will feature some of that work in future blogs. Our Jewellery Photography has taken on a life of it’s own and more about that later on also. The Corporate Portrait side of the studio has also been busy as clients working from home need to populate their websites with headshots and lifestyle portraits to support the ever growing Zoom meeting trend.
Our Product Photography work is also on the move as our recently improved website at www.nortonphotography.ie steadily climbs the ratings in the search engines. And of course we are still making improvements in our skills in the 360 degree spinning world.
But my favourite brag story of the moment involves us stepping back into the world of high fashion, glamour, movies and celebs and all the glitz that I thought had gone into hiding and wouldn’t rear it’s head till CV19 and all it’s variants had taken their leave.
Irish Designer Paula Rowan
High Fashion Glove Photography
Just before Christmas I got a call from a new client who urgently need some of her products photographed for urgent press releases for the international fashion mags. But all very hush hush and embargoed till a certain date in the close future.. We never were ones to shy away from a challenge so the studio was set up and the product arrived. A box of exquisite handmade leather gloves arrived by courier and David and I set about finding the best techniques to bring out the textures and colours while still maintaining those clean pure white backgrounds the fashion magazine editors demand and so seldom achieve.
Following on from our initial project for the House of Gucci launch Paula has asked us to photograph her entire range of gloves both traditional and Avant Garde, bags and belts and a whole collection of other high quality leather accessories.
I have attached some images from our first few sessions and if you feel that you’d like similar images for your products then why not make contact by email to ronnie@norton.ie or david@norton.ie or through the contact page on our website here at www.nortonphotography.ie.
We are always available to discuss your thoughts on all aspects of commercial imagery and as many of my Bluegrass Hillbilly friends would say “It don’t cost nuthin’ to ask.”

See Y’All here on a more regular basis. I promise!!!
