The price and shoot plan for a product photoshoot are not determined solely by the number of products. The product category, sales channel, type of shoot, need for models or props, scope of the video, and delivery format are all taken into account.
Why is e-commerce photography important?
When shopping online, customers cannot touch the product; they evaluate it through photos and videos. Clear, true-to-color, consistent images taken from sufficient angles enhance the product’s credibility, reduce the risk of unmet expectations, and make the purchasing decision easier.
What factors determine e-commerce product photography prices?
Pricing is determined based on the number of products, the number of images per product, the type of shoot, the need for models or sets, the scope of the video, the level of retouching, and the delivery format. White-background packshots, staged still lifes, lifestyle shots with models, and product videos do not involve the same workload.
Should I do a white-background shoot or a lifestyle shoot?
For most brands, both are necessary. A white background for the main product image ensures clarity and compliance with marketplace standards. Lifestyle and styled shots, on the other hand, establish the product’s context of use, the brand’s atmosphere, and the campaign’s tone.
Can AI-generated images replace professional product shots?
AI can be used for concepts, mood boards, background variations, and campaign mockups. However, the main product image must accurately represent the actual product the customer will purchase. For this reason, it is safer to use the actual product, controlled lighting, accurate colors, and, when necessary, a real model in main product images intended for sales.
Is a product video also required?
If you need to demonstrate the product’s use, movement, a 360-degree view, unboxing, or the moment it’s poured or applied, a product video complements the photo. Photos and short videos can be produced together as part of the same production plan.
Can we ship products from outside Istanbul or from Europe?
Yes. Products from various cities in Turkey and from Europe can be shipped to the Istanbul studio. The brief, product acceptance, shoot list, selection, revisions, and delivery process can all be handled remotely.
For which industries do you provide e-commerce photography services?
We can provide photo and video production services for cosmetics, jewelry, fashion, textiles, handbags, shoes, food, home textiles, home decor, furniture, kitchenware, sports equipment, outdoor gear, office furniture, accessories, and many other product categories.
Is taking a photo of the product with a phone enough?
Technically, the phone can produce high-resolution images; however, the professional difference often lies not so much in the camera itself as in lighting, color management, product preparation, lens selection, composition, retouching, and consistency across the series. Consistency is particularly critical for products with many SKUs.
How many days is the delivery time?
The delivery timeframe is determined based on the number of products, the type of shoot, the scope of the video, and the level of retouching. For standard e-commerce shoots, the selection and delivery schedule is finalized at the start of the project; for most product photography projects, a 3- to 10-business-day timeframe is a realistic estimate.
Let’s create a shooting scope for your e-commerce products
If the number of products, category, target sales channel, number of images per product, need for white-background, styled, or model-based shoots, video requirements, and delivery date are known, we can prepare a more precise quote. If any information is missing, we’ll first work with you to clarify the scope of the shoot.
