Campaign-grade product photography, made in Guangzhou.
You already know shooting in China is cheaper. The problem is what cheaper usually looks like: a product on a white sweep that could belong to any brand. We work at Guangzhou rates, but we hire real locations, cast models and build the sets your product actually lives in.
& ready
Why brands shoot with us instead of at home.
Photography in New York, London or Sydney runs $150 to $500 per image once you add a studio day, an assistant, retouching and a stylist. A full launch set clears five figures quickly, and the location and model work most brands actually want gets cut from the quote before it's sent.
We start at $499 for a package.
The saving isn't a discount and it isn't a compromise on the work. It's where we are. Studio space, crew, models and locations all cost a fraction here of what they cost in the US or UK, and we pass that through.
Your samples never leave the country
This is the part brands underestimate. The normal sequence is: factory ships your sample to you, you check it, you ship it to a photographer, they shoot it, you wait. Two international legs, customs both ways, three to six weeks before a single image exists, and if the sample is wrong the whole loop restarts.
Your factory is a courier ride from our studio. Samples reach us in days, not weeks. We check them, tell you what's wrong with them, and start shooting. Most projects deliver inside two to three weeks, including revisions.
Things that are “out of scope” elsewhere
When a Western studio quotes a real location, a model, or a custom set, most brands cut it. At our rates it stretches. For Oshin's faucet water filter we hired an actual luxury bathroom rather than dressing a corner of the studio, because a filter photographed on white is just a small white cylinder, and running water reflects the room it's really in. On a London quote that would have been the single most expensive line. Here it fit inside the project.

E-commerce & catalogue
Clean white-background images, consistent angles, marketplace-ready. What your listing and spec pages need.
Lifestyle & styled
Your product in a real setting, art-directed to your brand. What your homepage, ads and social need.
Model photography
Product in use, in hand, worn. Casting and direction included. The images that convert, because they show a person rather than an object.
Ghost mannequin & apparel
Garments with clean interior shape and no visible form, plus flat-lay where it fits.
Most projects mix all of these. A launch set that's only white-background images will sell on a marketplace and nowhere else.

Samples to the studio
Straight from your factory or supplier. We check them and flag anything wrong before we shoot. A defect caught here is cheaper than one caught in your first review.
Art direction
Concepts, references, set and location plan, casting if models are involved. You approve before a shutter fires.
Shoot
In studio, or on location where the product needs it.
Retouch & deliver
Colour-corrected, retouched and exported to the formats you need: marketplace crops, ad ratios, web-optimised. Full commercial rights, no licensing tail.

Photography and the site, from one team.
Most brands hire a photographer and a developer who never speak. Images arrive at the wrong crop for the hero section, and the developer builds around what exists rather than what the layout needs.
We do both. When we shoot for a brand we're also building for, the photography is planned against the layout it's going into. Oshin got their images and their store in three weeks, from one team.
Our website design and development →Questions before a shoot.
Independent studios in China typically charge $8 to $35 per image, or $99 to $199 for a basic package of white-background and simple lifestyle shots. Those prices are for table-top work in a studio. Our packages start at $499 and include art direction, real locations or built sets, model work on the higher tiers, and full retouching. If all you need is a white-background listing photo, a cheaper studio will serve you well. If you need images your brand can build a campaign on, that's what the difference pays for.
