What Are You Going To Use The Images For?

It’s likely the first question we will ask you as knowing the end goal for the images tells us a lot about the style, brand requirements, dimensions and ratios you’ll need the final images delivered in. You’ll want to decide whether you need eCommerce, white background style images or lifestyle image and there are definite advantages to both.

White Background  / eCommerce Photographs
This is a 2 step process where we will photograph your products against a plain background, draw around them in Photoshop and paste them against a solid white background. These images are perfect for eCommerce websites, marketplace sites like Amazon & eBay, catalogues, direct marketing and PR usage.

Lifestyle Photographs
It is becoming far more commonplace for lifestyle images to be used to sell products over white background imagery. This is largely down to the popularity of social media platforms like Instagram and the fact that it is proven that showing products in their natuaral setting being used has a big impact on conversion rates. We’ll either use our experience and knowledge to create great lifestyle images for you or we are very happy to work to your brief.

How Quickly Will We Get The Images?

Once you have sent us your product photography brief we’ll give you a delivery date for the images that we will stick too. Small jobs can be turned around in a matter of days, larger jobs will, of course, take longer.

How Do We Recieve The Photographs?

To ensure you receive your photos quickly we deliver all photographs via digital download unless requested otherwise at the time of booking. You’ll receive an email with a link which you simply need to click and your images will download automatically.

Do You Edit The Photographs?

We are firm believers that you get good images out of the camera and great images out of post-processing afterwards. Each and every image we send will have been professionally edited.

How Big Are The Photos & In What Format Will I Recieve Them?

Unless requested otherwise we send all images in 300DPI .jpg format. The longest edge will be 3000 pixels which are large enough for most uses. The professional Canon cameras we shoot with deliver a final image size of 6000 pixels on the longest edge, let us know if you need these and we can arrange for you to receive them.

I’m Not Local To You, Can I Send You My Products?

Yes, of course, this is what most of our clients do and we receive packages daily to photograph. Once we complete the job we’ll mail you the products back. If you are local you are very welcome to drop off or pick up the products yourself.

Can You Photograph The Products At My Location?

We can indeed, we have a portable studio setup that allows us to photograph products pretty much anywhere. Our preference is always to have the products delivered to our studio as this saves time and costs, however, if your products are too large to deliver it’s not a problem for us to visit you and shot at your location.

Do You Have Insurance?

Yes, we have full Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance to the value of £5million.

  • "Paul has photographed a lot of our products for us, moving us away from traditional white backgrounds to more lifestyle images. The key reason behind using him isn't just because he is a nice guy to work with, it is because time and time again we see an increase in conversion rates from the products that he re-photographs for us. This puts extra money into our pockets and more than covers the cost of having him, it's a no-brainer."
