What is product photography?

Product photography is professional photography of the things you sell, for online shops, marketplaces, catalogues, social media and advertising. It ranges from clean cut-out shots on a white background to styled lifestyle images that show a product in use.

Prices start from £50 per product or image. The final quote depends on complexity, styling, retouching and volume: a simple item on white is quicker than jewellery, glassware or a styled scene. Images are professionally edited and delivered in a private online gallery, in the sizes and formats you need.

What’s included

  • Photography of each product or image, as quoted
  • Consistent lighting and background
  • Professional editing and retouching as agreed
  • Images sized for your intended use
  • A private online gallery

Who it’s for

Small businesses, makers and online sellers who need consistent images for a shop or marketplace, and brands launching new products or refreshing a catalogue. It suits food and drink producers, fashion accessories, homeware, cosmetics, and anyone whose phone photos aren't doing the product justice.

If you also need photos of people wearing or using your products, look at fashion photography or personal branding photography.

Price

From £50 per product or image

The starting price covers the essentials listed above. Your quote is built around your plans; these are the things that move it:

  • Number of products and images per product
  • Complexity: reflective, transparent or very small items take longer
  • Styling, props and lifestyle set-ups
  • Level of retouching
  • Marketplace requirements for backgrounds and formats
  • Collection and return of products
  • Rush delivery

Prices are indicative starting prices and may vary depending on the photographer, date, location, duration, deliverables, travel, and project requirements. Your final quotation will be confirmed before booking.

How to prepare

Make a list of every product, the number of images you need for each, and where they'll be used, including any marketplace rules on backgrounds and dimensions. Collect a few example images you like to show the style.

Send products clean, free of dust and fingerprints, with labels straightened and packaging uncreased. Include spares of anything fragile or consumable. Agree how products will be packed, delivered and returned, and who covers the cost; this is confirmed in your quote.

Where to have it photographed

Availability depends on photographers in each area and is confirmed with your quote.

Products: your questions

Why is it priced per product or image?

Because work scales with the number of items and shots. Your quote confirms whether you are paying per product or per image, and how many images each product includes.

Can you shoot on a white background for marketplaces?

Yes. Tell us which marketplace so your photographer can follow its requirements for background, size and format.

Do you offer lifestyle or styled shots?

Yes. Styled scenes and props take more time and are reflected in the quote.

Do I need to be there?

Not usually. Many product shoots work from a shot list and example images, with products sent to the photographer.
