Product, food & beverage photography

Product photography
that sells,
not just shows.

Catalogue work that converts, campaign stills that anchor a launch, and appetite-forward food and drink shot by a crew that films restaurants for a living. Four built sets and a cyc wall in one Pilsen studio, so you get four looks in one day.

Three kinds of product work

What are you shooting?

E-COMMERCE

Catalogue & packshots

Clean, consistent, correctly-coloured product images sized for Shopify, Amazon and your own site. Shot on the cyc for a true seamless background, with consistent lighting across the whole SKU range so your grid does not look like it was shot by four different people.

FOOD & BEVERAGE

Appetite-forward

Menu photography, seasonal campaigns and cocktail work for restaurants, bars and CPG brands. We shoot food for Sushi Plus, Molly Tea, Lao Sze Chuan, Shabu Plus and Monaco Cocktails. Steam, condensation, pour shots, the whole language.

CAMPAIGN

Lifestyle & hero stills

Product in the world, in hands, in a room, with a person. The images that anchor a launch and carry a paid campaign. Styled, art-directed and cut in vertical for social alongside the horizontal hero.

Day rates

Real numbers, published.

The advantage

Four sets. One studio.
One shoot day.

Most product shoots that need four different looks need four different locations, four setups and most of a week. Our studio has four fully built environments already standing, which is why our full day gets you a range other studios would quote as a three-day job.

Victorian Blue Room

Rich blue tones and elegant gold décor. For premium, timeless, upscale product positioning.

Girly Pop Set

Pink and sky-blue with floral touches. Beauty, DTC, influencer-facing and playful brands.

Retro 70s Kitchen

Period stove and era-accurate pieces. Food, beverage and nostalgic campaign work.

Stylized Bathroom

Unexpected and high-energy. Beauty, personal care and bold editorial product stories.

Questions

Before you book a day.

What does a product shoot cost?
Half day (4 hours) is $1,200 for roughly 20 edited images. Full day (8 hours) is $2,500 for roughly 35. Additional edited images are $40 each. Styling and art direction is $150 to $300 depending on complexity. Rush delivery adds 20%.
How many products can you shoot in a day?
It depends entirely on setup complexity. Simple e-commerce packshots on a clean background move fast, twenty-plus SKUs in a day is realistic. Styled lifestyle or food scenes take much longer per shot. Send us the SKU list and we will give you a real answer before you book.
Do you handle styling and props?
Yes, as an add-on at $150 to $300. For food and beverage we strongly recommend it. The difference between a good food photo and a great one is almost always styling, not the camera.
Can we get video from the same shoot?
That is the single best value in our whole rate card. Adding a half day of video to a photo shoot runs $1,500 to $2,200 because the setup, lighting and product prep are already done. Most clients who do it once never book photo alone again.
What backgrounds and sets do you have?
A cyc wall for clean seamless work, plus four fully built sets: a Victorian blue room, a girly-pop set, a retro 70s kitchen and a stylized bathroom. That means you can get four completely different environments in one day without moving locations.
Who owns the images?
You do, outright, for any use. We do not licence per-use or per-year. We only ask to show the work in our own portfolio, and we will hold that back if you are under embargo.
How fast is delivery?
Standard turnaround is confirmed at booking. Rush delivery is available at +20% and we have hit same-day when a launch demanded it.

Send us the SKU list.

The fastest way to a real number is telling us how many products, how many shots each, and whether you need them styled. We will come back with a day count and a price, not a range.

“The creative vision and execution from Holy Cow exceeded our expectations. Our campaign saw a 20,000% increase in engagement and delivered exceptional ROI.”
