Beauty and Skin Care Photography in New York

At Dorothy Shi Photography, beauty and skincare photography is crafted as commercial brand storytelling, not portraiture. Each campaign is strategically produced to showcase product texture, skin quality, and visual consistency, aligning precisely with a brand’s creative direction, marketing goals, and advertising standards.

Dorothy Shi works with cosmetic brands, skincare companies, and advertising agencies to create high-end beauty and skincare campaign photography for national and multi-market use. From luminous skin imagery and clean beauty visuals to editorial, fashion-driven storytelling, every shoot is executed with precision studio lighting, expert creative direction, and premium commercial retouching built for advertising performance.

Based in New York City and available nationwide across the United States, Dorothy photographs in studio or on location with full creative teams, delivering campaign-ready beauty imagery for brand websites, e-commerce platforms, social media, print advertising, and large-scale marketing campaigns.

This is professional beauty and skincare campaign photography designed for brands that need to sell products, scale visibility, and stand out in a competitive market.
