Ecommerce Photography Los Angeles

It starts with a simple plan. You ship your products to our Los Angeles studio, and we handle the shoot from there. Most of our ecommerce clients aren't local, so the process is built to work smoothly by mail. Before shoot day, we talk through what you're selling, where the images will be used, and which angles or details matter most. From there, we build a clear shot list so you know what's being photographed and nothing important gets missed. Your finished images come back organized and sized for your online store, Amazon listings, and any paid ads you're running. If you're not sure what you need yet, send us your product list and where you sell, and we can help map it out.

There isn't one right number for every product. For Amazon, we usually plan around all seven image slots: a main image on pure white, alternate angles, a detail shot, packaging, and often an infographic. The goal is to answer the questions a shopper would normally have before buying. For Shopify and other online stores, most brands land between four and eight images per product, usually a clean hero, a few useful angles, a close-up, and an on-model or scale image when it helps explain fit or size. Paid social and Google Shopping often need additional crops and formats. We build the shot list around what will actually help someone understand the product and make a purchase, rather than adding images just to hit a number.

On-model images make the most sense when shoppers need to understand fit, drape, proportion, or scale. That's especially useful for apparel, swim, activewear, and footwear. Skincare, supplements, home goods, and most packaged products usually work well with clean ecommerce images on their own, where accurate color, clear details, and consistency matter most. Either way, we keep the setup clean and repeatable with white or neutral seamless backgrounds, even lighting, and framing that stays consistent across the catalog. If you're looking for styled scenes with props, locations, or more of a campaign feel, that's handled separately on our product and lifestyle photography page.

Yes. We plan for the final use of the images before the shoot, so your files come back organized and ready for the channels you actually use. For Amazon, that means a main image on pure white with the product filling at least 85 percent of the frame, plus secondary images prepared in the required format. For Shopify, we deliver desktop and mobile-ready sizes so the images stay sharp without creating unnecessary work for your web team. If you're also running paid ads on Meta, Google, TikTok, or other platforms, tell us where the images are going and we can prepare the right crops and sizes for those placements as well.

Yes. Standard retouching is included with every ecommerce shoot, including color correction across the set, label and surface cleanup, and removal of dust or small blemishes. For white-background ecommerce work, background removal and clipping paths are included as well, so the files can go straight into your Amazon listing or Shopify product page without another editing step on your end. That's especially useful for larger catalogs. If a project needs more involved work, such as ghost mannequin for apparel or composite backgrounds, we price that clearly in the brief before the shoot is booked.

Standard delivery is 3 to 5 business days from the shoot date, including retouching and formatted final files. You're not left with raw images that still need to be processed before they can go live. If you have a launch or promotion tied to a specific date, rush delivery may be available when the schedule allows and we know the deadline in advance. We'll confirm the delivery date before the shoot starts, so your team has a real date to plan around. If you're working toward a hard launch date, include it when you reach out and we'll build the schedule around it where possible.

It depends on the products and how many images each one needs. Straightforward white-background ecommerce images move quickly, so a skincare or supplement line can cover a good number of SKUs in a day. Apparel with multiple looks, fine jewelry that needs more controlled lighting, or products that need a full Amazon image set naturally take longer. On-model days work a little differently because wardrobe changes and fittings are part of the schedule too. Before we quote the shoot, we review your actual product list and shot requirements, then give you a realistic estimate based on the work involved. That way, you're planning around a realistic number instead of a generic day-rate estimate.

Yes. A large part of our ecommerce work is built around catalogs that keep growing. Some brands send new SKUs every month, while others bring an entire range in for one larger shoot. The important part is consistency: the same lighting approach, color treatment, framing, and overall look from one session to the next, so a product added months later still feels like it belongs in the same store. For brands with regular launches, we can also plan recurring shoot dates so new inventory doesn't pile up waiting for imagery. If you have an upcoming drop or seasonal catalog refresh, getting the product list to us early makes the process much smoother.
