PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY IN HAMPSHIRE & SURREY
IN STUDIO & ON-LOCATION SHOOTS
Whether you're a local artisan or a global brand, you need high-quality, detail-focused product photography that captures your audience’s attention. I specialise in creating crisp, impactful, and on-brand images that showcase your products in the best light and help you stand out from the competition.
Tailored to your brand's vision
No two brands are the same, and neither are my photoshoots. From bold and vibrant to minimalistic and clean, I approach each commission with a flexible and creative mindset, ensuring the final images reflect your brand’s unique style and values. Whether you want a curated, artistic look or a more natural, organic feel, I deliver product photography that sets you apart in your market.
Seamless Collaboration
Whether you're in Surrey, Hampshire or beyond, we can collaborate remotely throughout the process. Using online tools like mood boards, reference images, and video meetings, we’ll work together with key stakeholders such as marketers, brand directors, social media managers, and web designers to ensure all needs are met. You can send your products directly to me, and choose to have me take care of everything from props and backdrops to delivering images that are perfect for e-commerce, social media, and marketing materials.
In-Studio or On-Location Flexibility
My Hampshire-based studio is fully equipped for controlled lighting and styling, perfect for pack shots, e-commerce, and detailed product images. If your brand needs a more authentic, lifestyle-oriented shoot, I also offer on-location photography services. Whether outdoors or at your business site, I capture dynamic lifestyle images that resonate with your target audience and showcase your product in real-world settings. This is ideal for editorial photography and marketing campaigns that require a more human touch.
Professional Styling for Every Shoot
Depending on the complexity of the shoot, I handle styling myself or collaborate with food stylists, prop stylists, or your in-house creative directors to ensure everything is perfectly aligned with your brand’s vision. We’ll discuss these details in our discovery call to ensure the right level of styling is included in your custom photography package.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN WORKING WITH ME
Pre-shoot meeting (s) either online or onsite to discuss the brief
which could include logistics, optimal shoot time, licensing requirements and 3rd party usage, image format and media requirements, timescales and deadlines, the shot list, style expectations & project constraints.
Transparent Pricing
I will always quote in detail taking account of everything discussed in our discovery call and requested as part of the booking process. This will include timescale requirements, number of images, props, styling, delivery & return of products where necessary, licensing and usage rights.
Confirmation of booking
In order to secure a shoot, a 50% deposit is required together with signing the contract which outlines the shot list and all aspects of the estimate.
Collaboration and Creative direction
Your thoughts and direction are integral to any shoot and specific to your requirements, however I am experienced both in working alone on photoshoots, and with clients present and I am confident in curating, creatively directing and delivering images specific to and in addition to the brief.
You can either join me in person for the shoot or we can communicate on zoom or Teams for the day where you can preview images as we move through the shot list.
Product delivery & return
If you’re unable to deliver your products in person you can send them via courier and I can package them carefully to be collected post shoot to be collected by your courier or alternatively send them for you and and the cost to your invoice.
Post processing
While it’s best to capture everything perfectly in camera, retouching is often necessary to ensure super sharp renders with clean edges, correct colour grading and may also include reflection removal and dust spot removal. One round of edits is included in the estimate and additional requests will be chargeable.

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE YOUR PRODUCT SHOOT
Whether you’re selling Jewellery or Skincare, Stationary or food,
Here are some tips to make sure your shoot gives you everything you need, and nothing you don’t!
Brand identity
It may sound obvious but as a new business, getting clear on your brand values and brand design are really important to ensure the images I produce reflect and complement both of these foundations.
Customer Avatar
Who is your client? What problem are you solving for them and how will they feel once they’ve consumed or used your offering?
If we are going to evoke a certain emotion or feeling, we need to be clear on what it is!
Image usage
In order to license the images I need to know what the intended use for the images is.
From website to social media, advertising to editorial, print brochures to billboards. The use will impact the value of the estimate.
Aspect ratio
This is the specific size of your image height relative to its width. ie. 16:9 or 4:3 or 7:5
It’s important to know what’s required for your social accounts, website and promotional outlets as it will affect the styling and composition of the image.
Product delivery
Pick products with perfect labels and send multiples of each one to enable opening of at least one.
Ensure your products are protectively packaged and sent to be received at least 5 days prior to your shoot date to prevent delays.
Props
Whilst I’m there to provide creative direction it’s important to consider relevant and complementary props
ie. representation of ingredients & scents together with representation of the intended use of the product.
