New York City · product photography

Give every product image a job.

For ecommerce teams, retailers and brands commissioning product photography in NYC. Build a usable catalog around the actual SKU list, required views and sales channels, then add styled images where they answer a different customer question.

Plan your project →Compare packages

Inquiry first. Availability and final scope confirmed in writing.

01 / Choose the right scope

What does the session need to solve?

A clean product view explains what is being sold. A detail shows construction or finish. A styled scene adds context. Decide which of those jobs the shoot must do before comparing a per-product quote with a styled-production price.

Common add-ons include extra retouched images from $45 for consumer work or $65 for business work, extra coverage from $175 per 30 minutes, and rush delivery from 25% with a $200 minimum. Studios, permits, styling, talent, specialty rentals, and travel are quoted before booking.

Does this fit your plans?

Send your preferred date, location and what you need delivered. Review relevant work from the proposed creative professional, then confirm the scope, delivery timing and quote before booking.

Free inquiry; no date reserved. Studio hire, permits, extra editing and usage beyond the agreed scope may cost extra and should be confirmed in the quote.

Ask about session availability

03 / Prepare a useful brief

Three things to decide before booking.

An asset list, not a box count

Send a spreadsheet with product ID, variant, dimensions, finish and required angles. Note labels that must be readable and surfaces that reflect light. A set of similar bottles can still contain different artwork or closure details.

The destination

Share the storefront theme, marketplace requirements and intended ad placements. A large master file does not guarantee every crop works. Decide which compositions need extra space for text and which should stay tightly framed.

Samples and sign-off

Identify who supplies pristine samples, props and replacement packaging. Agree on drop-off or shipping, storage and returns before sending anything. Name one approver who can resolve label, color and styling questions.

04 / An illustrative plan

Example: five products, three required views

  1. 1

    Start with a 15-row asset list: one front, one alternate angle and one detail per product. A group photograph or extra variant adds an asset; it does not disappear inside the word 'product'.

  2. 2

    Approve a representative sample with a difficult surface before repeating the lighting across the set. Check legibility and reflections at the intended display size.

  3. 3

    Photograph the repeatable catalog views first. Stage lifestyle scenes separately so decorative props do not confuse what is included in the purchase.

  4. 4

    Review filenames, variant matches and crops against the asset list. This is an illustrative brief; package deliverables and any added views need written confirmation.

NYC logistics

For an on-site NYC shoot, confirm loading access, usable table space, secure sample storage and a clean staging area. If a rented studio is needed, confirm its cost and access separately. Avoid shipping irreplaceable samples without an agreed receipt and return process.

Set the boundaries early

Do not assume product rates include styling purchases, models, complex compositing, 360-degree spins, video, retouching beyond the agreed scope or marketplace uploads. Paid advertising and third-party use need explicit licensing. Platform approval and sales results cannot be guaranteed.

Shopify's current product-media guidance ↗

Before you make a decision.

Is one product the same as one photograph?

No. The catalog package describes its included angle range. Use the SKU-and-view list to confirm the total set before booking.

Can one image work on Shopify and in ads?

Sometimes, but framing, text space and use rights can differ. Share both destinations so suitable compositions and permissions can be scoped.

Can you photograph reflective products?

Send reference photographs and dimensions first. Glass, polished metal and transparent packaging can require a different setup and retouching scope.

Usage and booking

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.

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.

Commercial Content Planning

Match the shoot to the sales channel

Compare product, ecommerce, fashion, and brand photography based on the launch, campaign, storefront, or sales channel you need to support.
