Hero Product Photography

Great product photography is considered, well-lit and collaborative.

It should go beyond showing what an object looks like. Its purpose is to communicate not just what a product is, but why it should matter to the people seeing it.

Through considered lighting, expert composition and thoughtful set styling, we elevate products into desirable brand assets, and the best results come from careful planning, technical execution and expert in-house retouching.

That’s why we work alongside experienced prop stylists, art directors and set builders, to build the right level of production around the project – whether that’s a single hero image or a complete campaign.

It’s a production-led approach that removes friction, keeps shoots efficient and focuses on your marketing needs.

Our 2,000 sq. ft. Bournemouth photography studio has everything you need, and nothing you don’t.

It gives us space, flexibility and technical control.

It brings ambitious ideas to life.

Product Photography for Brands, Agencies and Campaigns

Product photography is a crucial part of advertising.

It has to communicate quality, function and desirability — while contributing to brand trust and purchase confidence.

In the studio, lighting, lens choice, composition, styling, surface materials and retouching should all work together to deliver imagery that reflects the marketing goals. The same product can feel premium, clinical, playful, technical or luxurious depending on how those decisions are made.

That’s why we work closely with brands, in-house creative teams and production agencies to turn creative direction into considered product photography.

From a single hero image to a complete campaign, we build the production around the brief, the audience and where the images will ultimately be used.

Sometimes, the product itself needs to be the hero. A single image may need to show its dimensions, engineered finishes, functionality and aesthetics with absolute clarity. We can simplify the background and surfaces, build layers of crafted lighting and work with you on set to find the angles and details that best represent the product.

In other cases, the world around the product needs to do more of the storytelling. Our studio has a broad selection of Colorama backgrounds, natural and man-made surfaces and props available in-house, while additional elements can be sourced, painted or built to create a considered visual environment. The aim is to establish a clear connection between the product and the person it is made for.

Above all, our product photography is created for real-world marketing: advertising, packaging, e-commerce, social media and wider brand campaigns. We can work in our Bournemouth studio or on location, delivering the imagery required for its final application.

For projects requiring specialist expertise, our established network of prop and product stylists, art directors and set builders is only an email away.

We can also integrate AI-assisted image production and video where they add genuine value to the final campaign. In our experience, a hybrid approach often works best: proven studio photography remains the strongest foundation for the product itself, while generative image technology can offer a flexible, cost-effective way to enhance backgrounds, complementary props and VFX-style mood and atmosphere.

With the right people on set, careful technical execution and a calm, collaborative approach, we create product photography with a clear purpose.

It’s imagery that represents the product accurately. Communicates the brand behind it. Gives creative teams the assets they need to build a great campaign.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many images can we achieve in a day?

The amount of images we shoot varies with every project.

Some of our clients will commission us to make 1 or 2 images in a day, and others expect to get through more than 50. The most important thing to consider is the type of photography you need. If the image is detailed, and needs stylists and intricate lighting, then the difficulty dictates more time is needed. If the imagery is all to be shot in the same set, with very similar or identical lighting set ups, then this efficiency means we generate far more shots. In short, there aren’t levels of service we offer, we only ever try to make excellent images – it is simply that some shoots are complex and others straight forward.

What types of product photography do you shoot?

We are able to shoot most products.

Small. Large. Technical. Artistic.

For us it’s more about the approach, and understanding your needs. We work primarily with FMCG, luxury items and food & drinks industries. We also work with engineering and manufacturing firms, lifestyle brands and cosmetics brands.

We create product photography for a wide range of applications, from premium hero images and advertising campaigns to e-commerce, packaging, social media and launch content.

The approach depends on the product and the intended use. We can create clean, controlled studio photography, more considered lifestyle imagery or a combination of both.

How much does product photography cost?

A few projects can be costed per image, but most are charged based on time.

Those charged per image tend to be high quantity photoshoots for repeat clients, and will be based on an economy of scale; i.e the more images they require the lower the unit cost per image. For most projects we charge by time. This can be as little as 1/4 of a day, but typically 1/2 days and full days are quoted. This is simpler for everyone involved and allows for flexibility – we will always be transparent with costs and let you know how long we think your project needs by quoting or estimating the costs/amount of time from your brief.

Can you provide images in specific sizes and formats?

Yes, definitely.

We fully understand composition, aspect ratios and crops. We will ask you about negative space (thats areas of an image left clear of products and props to allow copy or header text), and the intended use of the image when we have a chat, or go through the pre-production process, before the shoot.

We can also discuss file formats, colour profiles and post-production requirements so you get the most out of the shoot after final delivery.

What is pre and post production?

These are the terms we use for time spent before and after a shoot.

Pre production refers to time allocated to planning a shoot. It can include meetings, sourcing items, booking accommodation or locations and making/creating backgrounds. Smaller projects often don’t need a pre production budget, but larger ones do if they involve the above tasks. Post production is charged on all projects. It is the time we take for editing pictures or footage. We don’t allow our work to be delivered ‘RAW’, or unedited. This cost is always made clear up front and is an integral part of the process to ensure high quality retouched work is supplied.

Do you offer video as well as still photography?

Yes. We can combine product photography with video production, or run an independent commission solely focused on moving image production.

It a specialism that has it’s own service page, here: https://destudios.uk/services/video-production/

This can be particularly useful for launch campaigns, social media content, advertising and product demonstrations.

Is there parking available at the studio?

Yes – lots!

When you approach our industrial estate you’re looking for 16 Alder Hills, it’s the last on the right once you’ve driven up the hill. Enter the estate and look for DE Studios. Follow the numbers round clockwise until you see Unit 5. You can park outside our studio, there’s plenty of space for 5 + vehicles.

How can be we be involved, and sign off the work?

It’s fine to be as involved in the shoots as you’d like to be.

Some clients prefer to drop off and go, others prefer to oversee all the fine detail. We get it, and are happy however you’d like to be involved. As an experienced studio we know that sometimes it’s important to sign off the images as we go through a shoot day, and this can happen in the studio or remotely. If you can’t make it to us, we can send images by email and WhatsApp so they can be shared internally with your team. We have comfy sofas, coffee, wi-fi and parking; so if you’d like to hang about, you’ll feel right at home!

What if we need edits/amends after the shoot?

All standard client amends are included.

After we’ve delivered your project (most likely via WeTransfer download, or a shared Dropbox folder), you may need some images edited or amended. Don’t worry, this is very common and all part of the creative process. We’ll handle all your ‘standard’ amends for free and subject to reasonable requests – it’s all part of the initial costs. If there are requirements we weren’t aware of, or haven’t quoted for (e.g. multiple different file formats, further editing, background AI or stock library composites) we will inform you of the additional studio editing costs and you can make the decision on how to proceed.
