Photographer Lauren Coleman on AIR Eau de Parfum
AIR Eau de Parfum is special to us. It’s our way to show the world and the beauty industry the potential that carbon conversion technologies, and AIRMADE™ Technology specifically, can have on transforming industries. It’s a beacon to all of those creating fragrance that there is a better way for it to be produced, one that transforms waste into a resource that benefits our planet and all that call it home.
To properly showcase the beauty, creativity and technological innovation behind our debut fragrance, we, of course, had to tap the fragrance photographer herself, New York-based Lauren Coleman. If her name doesn’t ring a bell, chances are high that you’ve seen some of her work grace your social feed. Following two full days of shooting AIR Eau de Parfum, we chatted with the photographer about her thoughts about the fragrance and what inspired the shoot.

Can you tell us a bit about your inspiration for the shoot?

I aimed to capture the essence of the bottle's aesthetics, emphasizing its clean lines and showcasing how light interacts with its surfaces. This visual representation was a natural extension of the fragrance's purity and sophistication. One of my goals was to highlight the bottle's elegance and match it with the brand's commitment to sustainability and innovation.
