Three kinds of product work

What are you shooting?

E-COMMERCE

Catalogue & packshots

Clean, correctly coloured product images sized for Shopify, Amazon and your own site. Shot on a clean background with the same lighting across every product, so your grid looks like one shoot.

FOOD & BEVERAGE

Appetite-forward

Menu photos, seasonal campaigns and cocktail work for restaurants, bars and drink brands. We shoot food for Sushi Plus, Molly Tea, Lao Sze Chuan, Shabu Plus and Monaco Cocktails. Steam, condensation, pour shots, all of it.

CAMPAIGN

Lifestyle & hero stills

Your product in the world, in hands, in a room, with a person. The photos that carry a launch and a paid campaign. Shot wide for the website and vertical for social.

Day rates

Real prices, published.

The advantage

Four sets. One studio.
One shoot day.

Four different looks usually means four locations and most of a week. Our four sets are already built and standing, so one day here gets you what other studios quote as three.

Victorian Blue Room

Rich blue tones and gold décor. For upscale, timeless product shots.

Wes Anderson Set

Pink, yellow and teal, symmetrical and storybook. Beauty, influencer work and playful brands.

Retro 70s Kitchen

A built 70s kitchen set with a period stove and cabinets. Food, drink and throwback campaigns.

Stylized Bathroom

Odd and high-energy. Beauty, personal care and bolder 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. Video options are available on any photo day, and we quote it with the shoot, 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?
An open production room for clean background work, plus four fully built sets: a Victorian blue room, a Wes Anderson 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.
