White Background Photos
The product images we provide are taken with Amazon guidelines in mind. They can be used for any online shopping sites or for print. Our standard photo consists of a pure white background which is used as the main image. Additional images can be taken with other backgrounds or showing the product in use. We focus on white backgrounds because those are the most difficult to achieve and necessary to open most online stores.
Take a look at our samples. As you can see many are white items on white backgrounds and they still stand out.
E-Commerce Photography
E-Commerce is very popular with the onset of easy to use sites such as Big Commerce, Etsy, Amazon and Shopify websites. Our photos will fir any platform and can be used for traditional print marketing in magazines, brochures and labels.
We deliver "print quality" high resolution image files and also lower resolution for easy upload to online sites. It is important to have the high resolution files because resolution can always be reduced but never added. We recommend keeping a copy of the original high resolution files in a lockbox just in case the copies are damaged or degraded by improper handling.
Merchandise photography
We can photograph almost any kind of merchandise you would want to sell online. In this example we took photos of ornaments. The ornaments are a great example of highly reflective products and white on white colors. As you can see from looking at our sample gallery , reflections and white products are not a issue.

Catalog photography
Catalogue photography is the art of capturing images of products to showcase them in catalogs or online platforms. It involves meticulous attention to detail to accurately represent the items in a visually appealing manner. Whether it's clothing, accessories, electronics, or any other merchandise, catalogue photography aims to highlight the features, textures, and colors of each product to entice potential customers. With careful lighting, composition, and editing, catalogue photography ensures that every item looks its best, helping businesses effectively market their products and enhance the shopping experience for customers.
Speaking of detail, you can read the fine print on both the front and back of the "Pup Hub" spray bottles. This is the detail needed in a quality image file!
Retail photography
Product images of clothing are challenging to photograph. These were taken flat but 3D using a mannequin can be done. The mannequin can be removed in post production if required. Maqny online platforms require you to submit photos of clothing on a flat surface, for the main image and allow 3D images to be used in other parts of the listing.
