FAQs
General photography
How much does a product photoshoot cost in the UK?
Pricing depends on complexity, styling needs, number of products, and required outputs. Most of our shoots start at £14 per image for basic e-commerce work and scale up for styled or multi-angle imagery. Get in touch for a tailored quote.
What should I look for in a commercial photographer?
Look for experience in your product category, a strong portfolio, clear communication, and an understanding of how imagery will be used (e-commerce, social, print, etc.). We specialise in high-conversion images tailored to your brand.
Do you shoot in your own studio or on location?
We have a fully-equipped studio in SW London with lighting setups ideal for jewellery, food & drink, and packaging. Location shoots can be arranged as needed.
Food and drink photography
Do I need a food stylist for my shoot?
For hero shots or editorial campaigns, a stylist is highly recommended. For simpler menus or product-only shots, we can style in-house or suggest alternatives.
Can you photograph drinks to highlight clarity, condensation, and fizz?
Yes, we use specialist techniques and lighting to capture those crisp, refreshing details.
How do I prepare my food or drink products for photography?
We’ll send you a prep guide based on your shoot type, generally, products should arrive fresh, well-labelled, and with backups if needed.
Jewellery photography
Why is jewellery photography so technical?
Jewellery involves small, reflective surfaces that require precision lighting, macro lenses, and expert retouching. It’s all about showcasing sparkle without glare.
Can you retouch dust, fingerprints, or scratches?
Absolutely, all final images are professionally edited to industry standards.
Do you offer creative or modelled jewellery shots?
Yes, we can shoot flat lays, modelled images, lifestyle shots, or create stylised content in line with your brand aesthetic.
Packaging and product photography
How do you photograph packaging to show texture and finish?
We use angled lighting and lens techniques to highlight embossing, foil, matte/gloss finishes, and more. You can review samples before final delivery.
Can you deliver Amazon or Shopify-ready images?
Yes, we provide high-resolution images optimised for your platform specs (white background, square crop, etc.)
Do you offer 360° product images or stop-motion GIFs?
Yes, these are great for online engagement. Let us know your preferred format and platform requirements.
Logistics and process
Can I send products to your studio for photography?
Yes, many of our clients send products directly to us. We’ll confirm receipt and condition, and coordinate shoot dates with you. For more creative set-ups, we either agree to a story board or advise you to attend the shoot.
What’s your typical turnaround time?
Standard turnaround is 5–7 working days after shoot confirmation, but express options are available.
Do I own the photos after the shoot?
Yes, you’ll receive a licence for full commercial usage. We’re happy to clarify usage rights based on your needs.
What file formats will I receive?
You’ll get high-res JPEGs or PNGs for web, and TIFFs if needed for print. Crops and sizing for different platforms can be provided on request.
What are your payment terms?
We invoice after the shoot upon submission of low res watermarked files. Once payment is made, the high resolution non-watermarked files are released unless pre-agreed otherwise.
