A Night In With Friends
What Makes This Candle Sand Photoshoot at Cleo Collects So Special?
Set within a decadent private residence in the Perth Hills, this styled shoot at Cleo Collects was designed to feel like stepping into a secret world - an intimate dinner party that unravels like a three-act play. With vintage crystal, candlelight, couture details, and a sense of beautiful abandon, Chameleon Sand Candles brought a glow that felt both intentional and uninhibited. Here, luxury wasn’t curated - it lived and breathed.
How Do Chameleon Sand Candles Transform a Scene Like This?
Chameleon Sand Candles don’t just light a space - they shift its entire energy.
At Cleo Collects, where crystal glassware caught the low hum of candlelight and indulgent bites were passed between conversations, our candles weren’t decoration - they were atmosphere. Styled in glimmering clusters, the soft glow wrapped itself around every moment: the laughter, the toasts, the quiet in-betweens.
This is candlelight that doesn’t ask for attention - it earns it. Luxe, intimate, and endlessly adaptable, it set the tone for a night that felt not staged - but deeply lived.
Why Are These Candles Different?
Because they’re not just candles. They’re eco-luxury experiences designed for conscious creatives and refined rebels.
Here's what sets them apart:
Plant-based & non-toxic / Clean-burning and kind to air and skin / Fragrance-free - Ideal for intimate settings and sensitive guests / Refillable & reusable / Zero waste, maximum impact / Fully customisable - Pour into anything, shape into everything
Why Were Chameleon Sand Candles the Perfect Fit for This Scene?
Because this wasn’t just about beauty - it was about intention. In a space where every element told a story - vintage crystal, rich florals, couture fashion - Chameleon Sand Candles brought more than ambience. They brought a conscious choice. With no synthetic fragrance, no paraffin toxins, and no waste left behind, their glow felt as luxurious as it was responsible. Just like the evening itself, these candles were both refined and real - a celebration of presence, connection, and conscious living.
What Was the Creative Spark Behind This Shoot?
This was about creating a mood—not staging a moment. The team wanted to capture the kind of night where elegance doesn’t feel rigid, and beauty is left a little undone.
There were no perfect poses - only caviar-smeared fingers, lipstick on crystal, and the glow of Chameleon flames reflected in piano keys.
As the party crescendoed and then softened, what remained was everything: intimacy, indulgence, and the quiet echo of connection.
What’s the Real Story Here?
This wasn’t just a styled shoot. It was an invitation - to pause, to play, and to rethink how luxury lives.
Chameleon Sand Candles lit more than just tables - they lit up the feeling of being seen, styled, and surrounded. It’s not about more, it’s about meaning.
Whether it’s a private party in the hills or an unforgettable dinner downtown, our candles help you create moments that linger long after the wax melts.

Curious How We Turned a Private Residence into a Candlelit Salon?
Behind the Glow: What It Really Looked Like on Set
Every Chameleon shoot starts with the same spark: “Let’s create something that feels unforgettable.”
But behind that effortless elegance is a set that looks… well, a little less polished and a lot more alive.
For our Cleo Collects dinner party shoot, 21 people brought this indulgent vision to life - stylist, florist, photographers, chef, models, creatives, and candle wranglers (yes, that’s a role).
The day kicked off with a nearly cinematic moment: the first attempt to sabre the champagne - dramatic, bold - fizzled thanks to lukewarm bubbles. (Take two was much cooler… literally.)
While champagne flowed and music set the tone, Marine, our caviar queen and culinary sorceress, played with open flame - keeping everyone on edge in the best possible way.

And because no shoot is ever fully contained, we had visitors. A gaggle of curious ducks waddled in mid-shot, demanding attention like feathered extras.
Meanwhile, an understandably less enthusiastic neighbour voiced her dismay at being barricaded in by our car-packed street.
There was laughter, too - the kind that comes from shared chaos and creative flow. From last-minute wardrobe tweaks to tablescape touch-ups, the team moved like one (very stylish) organism.
And while everything on camera was candlelit, off camera, the glow came from the people.
This is what behind-the-scenes really means to us:
Connection. Chaos. Creation.
The result? Yes, it’s beautiful. But more than that, it’s alive.
Just like every Chameleon candle — no two setups the same, but all of them unforgettable.
