Explore Commercial PhotographyProduct photography for Lohegaon businesses — frequently against a shipping date or a trade trip that was booked before anyone thought about images.
The stock is leaving
Product photography usually assumes the items will be available whenever you get round to it. Sometimes they will not.
Stock ships, samples get taken to a trade show, a single prototype has to go back. Once that date is set, the photography either happens before it or does not happen at all — and there is no version where the item comes back for a second attempt.
That argues for shooting more than you think you need while you have the item. Extra angles, a spare set on a clean background, the detail frames nobody has asked for yet. Reshooting is impossible; over-shooting costs a little time on the day.
It also argues for confirming the specification first. If listings, print and a catalogue all need different treatments, better to establish that before the item is in front of the camera than after it is in a crate.

Where stock is leaving, it is worth photographing variants you are unsure about as well as the ones you have decided on.
An extra ten minutes while the items are here is trivial; recreating them afterwards is not possible at all.
That is the one situation where over-shooting is straightforwardly the right call.
Getting ready
Tell us the shipping date first, because it decides whether the shoot is possible at all.
Send everything you want photographed in one go rather than in batches.
Label anything that is not obvious — the front, the finish, what should not be shown.
Planning it
When the items have to go back or ship.
How many items and how many angles each.
And where the images will be used, since formats differ.
Recent work
A selection of recent photographs. Each one is tagged with the kind of shoot it came from — tell us what you are planning and we will show you the work closest to it.

How the session itself works is covered in full on the main product photography page.
Tell us that first. It decides whether the shoot is possible at all, and it argues for shooting more angles than you currently think you need.
Then we shoot it thoroughly in one session. There is no coming back for a missed angle once it has gone.
Tell us where the images will be used — listings, print, a catalogue — before the shoot. Each wants something slightly different from the same item.
Drop them off or courier them. Tell us how many items and how fragile and we will agree the handover beforehand.
Tell us first. It decides whether the shoot is possible and argues for more angles.
Yes, and it needs a different setup.
Tell us what you have in mind and we will confirm.
Yes, and they will match if we keep the setup.
Send us the date and what you have in mind, and you get a clear quote for the coverage you actually need.
Confirmed in writing at booking rather than left open, which matters more when the date could not move.
Tell us at booking if it matters and we will prioritise a small set.
Yes, with travel agreed upfront before anything is booked.
Yes, and on a fixed date we would encourage it. A short conversation beforehand is what makes an immovable booking work.
We will tell you immediately rather than holding a tentative slot, so you have time to find an alternative.
Regularly. Ask rather than assuming it is too late — we would rather tell you honestly what is open.
The plan yes, the date rarely. Tell us what has changed and we will adapt the coverage around it.
That date decides everything. Send it with the product list.
