360°
All-round views
The product is photographed in steps as it turns, so shoppers can rotate it on screen and look at it from every side. Useful when shape, finish or detail affects the decision to buy.
Customers Cannot Pick It Up. Your Images Have To Do That Job.
People buying online cannot hold your product, turn it over or try it. Good images and video answer the questions they would otherwise ask: how big is it, what is it made of, what comes in the box and how does it work.
We photograph and film goods for marketplaces, catalogues and online shops, with consistent lighting and framing, so a whole range looks as if it belongs together.
What We Shoot.
Unboxing
What arrives, how it is packed and what the customer sees first. This sets expectations and shows the packaging as part of the product.
Feature demonstrations
Short clips showing how the product works and what each function does, clear enough to follow without sound.
Catalogue stills
Consistent lighting, angles and background across a range, so the whole line looks like one set and new products can be added later in the same style.

How it runs
From Sample to Listing.
Brief
You send the product list, your sales channels and examples of the style you like.
Samples arrive
We log and check them, and tell you straight away if anything arrives damaged.
Test shot
We shoot one product first, so you can approve the lighting, angle and background.
Full shoot
The rest of the range is photographed and filmed to the approved look.
Retouch and edit
Backgrounds are cleaned, colour is matched to the sample and video is cut.
Delivery
Files are sized for each channel and named by your product codes. Samples go back as agreed.
What to Send Us Before the Shoot
- A list of products and the variants you need shown
- Clean samples, including packaging if it will be filmed
- The image and video requirements of your sales channels
- Any examples of style you like
Questions
Practical Details.
- What kinds of product can you shoot?
- Most goods that can be brought to a studio. Very small, reflective or large items need a different setup, so tell us what you sell and we will plan for it. Larger goods can be shot on your premises.
- Can you match our existing catalogue?
- Yes. Send a few examples and we will set up the lighting and angle to match.
- How do the samples get to you?
- You deliver or courier them to us, and we agree how they come back. Please include spares of anything that may mark during handling.
- Will the colours match the real product?
- We match colour to the sample in hand. Screens vary between customers, so the sample is the reference, not how it looks on one monitor.
- Can you meet marketplace image rules?
- Tell us where you sell. Requirements change, so we check the current rules for those marketplaces at the start and export to them.
- Can new products be added later?
- Yes. We keep a note of the setup so that later additions match the rest of the range.
