FAQs

First we need to determine what is more important to you:
1) Variety of styling or
2) The quantity of shots
The quantity depends on the product, styling, and your requirements. When getting in touch, please include as much information as possible and I’ll provide you with a more accurate estimate of the time required.
On average we can shoot 20 products with a range of styling, 2-3 shots of each product plus groups shots. Or if the styling stays the same we can shoot approx 35 products in a day.
This depends on the styling and types of products, but on average I deliver approx 40-50 photographs plus suggestions for different crops for applications (square for product listings, portrait for IG stories etc).
I send web-ready jpegs and high resolution jpegs which are suitable for printing. Each is srgb.
I would suggestion shooting 3 web banners (landscape) and the rest shot portrait, but styled to crop square.
Yes, I have a studio in North London.
I usually take bookings 4-6 weeks in advance, so please bear that in mind when planning a product launch or seasonal shoot.
I highly recommend working with a stylist for your photoshoot to help create a dynamic brand identity.
After receiving the brief, the stylist will bring your vision to life by refining moodboards & shotlists. The next stage is sourcing / supplying props and backgrounds to make your products shine.
On the shoot day, the stylist will pair your products to the perfect props and background and arrange each scene. Meanwhile I will concentrate on lighting, composition, crop and camera work.
Having two people on set means we can achieve more creative images to boost your brand.
I love welcoming clients to the studio! It’s a fun day and we can be creative together. You know your products and customers better than anyone so having you on hand to answer questions & give feedback makes the day run smoothly and efficiently. I would suggest coming if you are able to.

If you can’t come to the shoot, I’m happy for you to post the products and we will keep you updated throughout the shoot day.
I’ll ask you to fill out a creative brief questionnaire so I can understand what you’re looking for and quote your project! It’s important to put as much detail on your brief as possible to ensure we’re all on the same page
