Product Photographer Los Angeles

We shoot at our studio in Los Angeles and on location around the city, depending on what your product needs. Studio days give us full control over the lighting and backgrounds, which is great for sharp, polished product shots. Location days let us put your product in a real setting, like a beach or a sunny poolside spot, so lifestyle photos feel natural. Plenty of brands do a bit of both, and we're happy to help you decide what works best.

The sooner the better. As a general guide, a simple studio shoot needs one to two weeks of planning, and a production with models, hair and makeup, or wardrobe styling needs two to four weeks. Depending on our availability and when your products arrive, a simple shoot can be scheduled within one to five days. These are estimates, so if your launch date is already set, tell us and we'll build the plan around it. For a full breakdown, read How Long Does a Product Photography Shoot Take?

All you really need is your product. Send as many units as you'd like photographed, and a few extras are always helpful in case something needs a touch-up or a different look during the shoot. If you have brand guidelines, a color palette, or some reference images, feel free to share them, but they're totally optional. We handle the rest at the studio, including lighting, backdrops, props, and styling.

Product photography is clean, simple photos of the product itself, usually on a plain background, so people can see exactly what it looks like. Lifestyle product photography shows the product in real life, like on a model, in someone's hands, or styled in a scene, so people can picture using it themselves. Most brands want both. Lifestyle photos tend to work best for social media, your homepage, and ads, while the clean product shots keep your product pages sharp and consistent.

Yes, and it's usually the easiest way to do it. In one shoot, we can capture crisp product shots for your website and store alongside styled lifestyle photos for ads and social. It's all planned together, so you don't need to book two separate shoots.

Yes, we can handle all of it. That includes finding and booking models, hair and makeup artists, wardrobe and prop styling, and scouting locations, whether you want a beach in Malibu or a bright, simple studio setup. Everything is included in one upfront quote, so you don't have to hire your own crew or coordinate a bunch of different people. You bring the product and the vision, and we take care of the team. If you're picturing something bigger, like multiple locations or a full campaign story, that's more of a brand campaign, and we'd be glad to talk it through with you.

You don't need a shot list, but you're welcome to bring one. If you're starting from scratch, we'll put together the concept and shot list with you. If you already have a mood board or reference images, we're happy to shoot from those. Either way, we go over everything together before the shoot day, so you know exactly what to expect.

We photograph beauty and skincare, jewelry and watches, footwear and apparel, wellness and supplements, and home goods like candles. If your product isn't on that list, no problem. Send us a message and we'll let you know if it's a good fit.

We shoot on white, black, colored, and textured backgrounds, and we can build custom sets with props, fabric, satin, or stone to add depth. Simple white and neutral backdrops keep all the attention on the product, while colored and styled setups add mood and feel more like your brand. Most shoots mix a few of these, so you end up with a nice variety of looks from one day.

It depends on the scope, including how many products you have, whether you want models or stylists, and where you plan to use the images. We quote every shoot individually, so you only pay for what you actually need, and you'll know the price before you book anything.

Once you've approved your favorites from the proofs, editing usually takes about 5 to 7 business days. We'll confirm your exact timeline before the shoot, so you can plan your launch with confidence.

First, you'll get proofs to look through and approve, which you can do remotely. Then we edit your favorites and deliver finished, high-resolution images, color-corrected and sized for your website, ads, and social. They're ready to use right away, so there's nothing left for you to edit.

Ecommerce photography is the simpler option. It's clean, product-only images made for online store listings and product pages, without models or lifestyle styling. Product and lifestyle photography covers more, with studio shots plus lifestyle and on-model images for ads, social, and your website. If that's the setup you're after, our ecommerce photography page is the best place to start.

Product and lifestyle photography stays focused on the product itself. A brand campaign is a bigger creative production, with full concept development, multiple locations, talent, and a story built around your brand, not just one product. If that sounds like what you have in mind, our brand campaign page explains how those projects come together.
