Product Photography Product photography company in London, United Kingdom
A UK brand that lists with a Gulf retailer is judged by its images on someone else’s website. We shoot the catalogue to your retailer’s rules, and keep your own store looking the same.
For UK direct-to-consumer brands and SMEs, and UK brands preparing images for GCC retailers and marketplaces.
Your own store looks great. The retailer’s page does not.
Direct-to-consumer brands in the UK often invest in good photography for their own site, then find that a Gulf retailer needs white-background cut-outs in a different size, and that the images supplied look different on the retailer’s page. The product feels like a different brand depending on where it is seen.
We shoot once to a plan: lifestyle for your own store and ads, and clean white-background versions for retailers and marketplaces, exported to each partner’s rules. If a retailer also wants Arabic text on the images, we add it with Arabic set right to left and the joined letters kept intact.

Questions
How much does product photography cost in the UK?
It depends on the scope: the number of products, the shots per product, styling and props, the retouching level, models, the location and the turnaround. Send a short brief and we quote a fixed scope so you can compare quotes on the same terms.
How long does a shoot take?
It depends on the number of products and the shot list. The proposal gives dates for planning, shooting and retouching. Samples arriving late is the usual cause of delay.
We are a UK brand listing with a Gulf retailer. Does that change the shoot?
Often yes. The retailer will have image rules for background, size and file type, and sometimes wants the product shown in a specific way. Send those rules and we plan the shot list around them.
Can you add Arabic text or badges to the images?
Yes. Arabic is set right to left and the joined letters are kept intact. A native reader checks it. Arabic overlays are a separate item in the proposal.
Where do you shoot?
In a studio we arrange in or near London, or at your premises. The proposal states exactly where the shoot happens and who is on the crew.
How many revisions are included?
The proposal states the rounds, mainly for retouching and colour. A reshoot is different scope, so we agree the shot list and one test image first.
Who owns the images and the usage rights?
You do. Ownership and permitted uses are in the proposal. If models are used, the release is agreed and written down before the shoot, and any usage terms with them are noted.
Can you match our existing photography?
Yes. Send your current images and we match the light, background and crop, or propose an updated look and show a test shot first.
Can you help prepare images for Google Shopping and ads?
We can export in the sizes and backgrounds those channels ask for. Because the rules change, you confirm the latest requirements with the platform.
Do you also make short product videos?
We can quote product videos or motion graphics as a separate scope. Say so in the brief so the shoot is planned for both.
Tell us about the products you need photographed.
A short brief is enough to start: the product type, the quantity, the platforms and the style. We reply with questions and a fixed-scope quote.
