Choose the hero product and use other elements to explain it. Test spacing and light before arranging the entire collection.

Flat Lay Product Photographer NYC
Show what belongs together: a complete kit, the details of an accessory, or the contents of a gift box. A thoughtful flat lay makes the product hierarchy clear without burying the item under props.
$800–$1,500
Lifestyle setups, up to 15 products
Start with your idea and rough date. We’ll work out the details.
A clear product story, seen from above.
For small brands planning a product launch, a seasonal collection or an ecommerce image set with a consistent visual language. Clothing, accessories and packaged goods can have very different preparation needs.
A styled overhead composition is not automatically a compliant marketplace main image. Separate clean catalog views from marketing flat lays, and check the destination's current requirements before production.
The photographs have a job to do
A plan built around your brief.
Keep the series consistent
Use an agreed background, scale and shadow direction across related images, with purposeful variation for feature compositions.
Review at the final crop
Check whether labels and important edges survive the intended placement. Deliver versions only for the destinations included in the scope.
Three things that help us plan.
- An exact product inventory
- List SKUs, variants, quantities and duplicates. Include labels, packaging and dimensions; reflective, transparent or easily marked surfaces change the setup.
- A composition list
- Describe individual items, bundles, open packaging and detail views. A product count alone cannot tell us how many final arrangements you need.
- The places images will live
- Share sample layouts and required orientations. A wide banner with copy needs a different arrangement from a tightly cropped product tile.
Scope before surprises.
Styled Shoot package as a starting reference. Define products versus compositions: one kit with several arrangements can require multiple setups.
Choose who prepares, steams, cleans and arranges the products. Confirm shipping or handoff, inventory check-in, storage, return arrangements and responsibility for fragile items. Props, surfaces, specialist styling and extensive label cleanup need explicit agreement rather than being assumed in an image count.
Turn a product list into a flat lay shoot briefBefore you book.
Can we get every crop from one image?
Not reliably. Plan the key layouts before shooting; a tight arrangement may not leave enough space for a banner or vertical story.
Are props included?
Only if the quote lists them. Discuss who sources and approves backgrounds, surfaces and props.
Can you make labels or claims look different?
We should photograph an accurate product. Any requested changes need review and must not misrepresent what the customer receives.
The optional $100 priority deposit after intake is credited toward the session but does not reserve a date by itself. A date is secured only after availability, scope, the booking agreement, and the required booking retainer are confirmed in writing.
Consumer packages include personal use, while headshot and model packages include professional self-promotion. Business packages can include website, organic social, recruiting, sales, press, and internal use. Paid advertising, outdoor campaigns, resale, and third-party use are licensed separately.

We’ll clarify the brief, check photographer fit and availability, and confirm a written scope before you book.
