You upload a phone photo taken in the kitchen — dim background, colour that's off. A shopper comparing listings scrolls past, because right next to it sits a competitor's product on a clean white background, looking like it came from a major brand's catalogue.

Product Photography / Packshots
You upload a phone photo taken in the kitchen — dim background, colour that's off. A shopper comparing listings scrolls past, because right next to it sits a competitor's product on a clean white background, looking like it came from a major brand's catalogue. The product is good — the photo just doesn't show it.
You open your listing next to a few competitors and the difference is obvious at a glance: their photos are even, bright, consistent. Yours were shot in a hurry, between one order and the next.
An online shopper can't touch the product — the photo is the only proof of quality they get before clicking "buy". Poor lighting and a random background raise doubt about whether the product even looks like the picture.
Sometimes a customer buys anyway, then the colour turns out different once it arrives — and the parcel comes back as a return.
The packshot session happens in-studio, prepared for your specific sales platform — files ready to upload the moment you receive them, no extra editing on your end.
We work with fixed studio lighting and a seamless background, matched to the platform you sell on.
White background for a major marketplace looks different from a styled shot for your own store — we settle that distinction before the shoot, not after. Editing includes background removal and colour correction checked against the physical product sample kept on hand during retouching, not eyeballed from a monitor.
What we don't do: we don't retouch a product to look different from how it actually is — natural texture or an uneven surface stays visible, because the customer should see exactly what they saw in the photo once it arrives.
What you actually get
- A listing that looks like a major brand'sThe photo stops being the weakest link in your offer — you compete on presentation quality, not price alone.
- Fewer returns over "not what the photo showed"Colour and detail matching the real product mean fewer disappointed customers after unboxing.
- A consistent catalogue no matter how many productsEvery shot from one session shares the same light and background.
- One set of files for several channelsFiles work for the listing, social media, and print catalogues at once.
We don't publish invented case studies with fabricated numbers — come see sample shots from our studio in person or on a video call. You'll see full-resolution quality on real files.
Scope and pricing
A packshot session includes: a set number of shots per product, a white or coloured background matching your platform's guidelines, editing covering background removal and colour correction, and files delivered in formats ready for both e-commerce and social media.
Ordering works like this: (1) you send a product list and the platform you sell on, (2) we book a date — you bring products to the studio, or we arrange an on-site shoot for larger items, (3) the packshot session, (4) selection and editing, (5) delivery of finished files.
You know the full price before the shoot starts — it depends on the number of products, shots per product, editing complexity, and whether products need extra preparation. A phone photo costs nothing, but the shopper scrolls past — a packshot investment pays off in fewer returns and a higher conversion rate.
Our guarantees
Nothing without your sign-off. We show a test shot of one product for approval before shooting the whole batch.
Extra care on a first session. On a first collaboration, you approve every shot from the trial batch individually before we move on to the rest.
Agreed setup, not a rigid template. We match background and framing style to your platform before the shoot, instead of forcing one format on every client.
A clear process when something's off. We agree in advance what happens if you're unhappy with a shot or a colour, not after the fact.
Your product, not a template. Retouching is checked against a physical sample kept on hand, not a style applied identically to every client.
Availability
We run the session on an agreed date after products arrive. Ahead of the sales season, the calendar fills up faster, because online stores refresh entire catalogues at once.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a packshot session for a dozen or so products cost?
It depends on the number of products and shots per item — send us your list for a concrete quote before booking.
Do photos come on a white background, or a styled one?
It depends on your platform — major marketplaces require a clean white background, while your own store more often gets styled shots too.
How do we get products to you if we can't travel to the studio?
For larger quantities or hard-to-transport items, we arrange an on-site shoot — this is settled at the quoting stage.
What formats and resolutions do we get the finished files in?
Standard delivery includes files at e-commerce resolution and separately at a smaller size for social media, matched to your platform.
Does the session cover lifestyle shots too, not just plain background?
Yes, if you flag it before the shoot — in-use shots are planned alongside background shots in the same studio visit.
