Perspectives Photography, Exeter

Product Photography

Investing in eye catching photography is the easiest and most effective way to improve the professionalism of your brand both online and in print.  If you have been trying to do your own photography but end up spending lots of time on it and being disappointed with the results then I may be able to help you!  Your time could be more profitably spent working on your products or tackling one of the million other jobs on your business list!  Read on to find out what sort of images I can produce for you, how it all works and how much it costs.

Examples Of Remote Shoots
Simple Product Shots:

Simple products shots on a clean background without props. An absolute staple to show the product in it’s simplest form. Ideal for online shops.

What’s in the box:

What’s in the box shots are perfect for showing the customer exactly what they are going to get. This avoids any misunderstanding upon receipt of goods.

Your raw materials and tools: 

If you want to introduce a bit of story telling to your marketing you might want to shoot some of your raw materials and tools.  This gives you the opportunity to talk about your product and what makes it so special. That it has been designed or made by you using the very best materials.

Your packaging and branding:

This is a brilliant one for showing your professionalism.  If you have spent ages putting your brand together to get it just right then let’s show it off!

The details:

I love a detail shot – lovely and close in with my macro lens.  A chance to show off the special elements of your product.  They can be really eye catching on your grid too… almost abstract and makes people look twice to work out what is going on

Flat lays:

These are great if you want to show ‘what’s in the box’ laid out flat to avoid confusion with customers.  They are also useful if you have a seasonal themed product and want to add interest with props.  They can be great eye catchers on the grid.

Collaborations with other brands:

Ideal if you need your products photographed with another brand when you are doing a joint venture or a competition for example.

Lifestyle Images:

Lifestyle Images are a lovely way of helping people imagine what it would be like to have your products in their homes.

 

How It Works

Step 1

Planning:  You will receive a shoot list to complete which will become my worksheet on the day of your shoot.  It will provide you with information on colour schemes, styling, props, backgrounds and anything to look out for when shooting.  A phone consultation afterwards will determine the amount of time needed for your session and to answer any queries. 

Step 2

Post your products:  Send your products and any required props to me. I will post all your products and props back to you after the shoot. (Return postage will be added onto your session fee)

Step 3

The shoot: This will take place in my studio or home location depending on the brief. It will take place on a pre-determined date so that you can stay involved as the images start to come through and tweak anything as necessary.

Step 4

Editing:  Your images will be post produced to ensure colour and exposure corrections. These images will be a clean edit without any stylised (e.g. film) looks. This is to ensure that the colours of your product are accurate and that they sit alongside the other images in your feed.

Step 5

Choosing your images: You will receive an email inviting you to view your online gallery. Here you will find lots of variations of your shots from which you can choose your favourites. Your package includes a set number of images. I will then do any fine-tuning edits on these. If there are additional images in there that you like you can purchase bolt on sets. 

Step 6

Receiving your images:  I will send you two sets of images via ‘We Transfer’ email download – one high res for all uses – printing, promotional material, website etc. One set of images cropped and sized ready for Instagram use.

Testimonials

Casey

Jess is a joy to work with, not only because she is a lovely person but because her work is nothing short of exceptional. We have worked together on several commercial projects and each time I can be 100% confident that the photographs will be perfection. Jess is able to capture details you wouldn’t think possible. Her eye and creativity are second to none and her style so versatile she can adapt to any project flawlessly. I have no hesitation in recommending Jess to all of my clients and the results are always stunning. – Casey at Oyster and Pearl Design (Graphic Designer)

Rachel

I had a commercial shoot with Jess and cannot recommend her highly enough. She was a pleasure to work with. Jess worked so hard to fulfil everything I needed for a new website. She had to work with both the weather, children and animals, alongside the rest of the brief, and did it all with ease. Thanks so much Jess!  – Rachel, Old Trickey’s Flower Farm (Business Owner)

Farmer Christmas

We are a small business but we knew we needed to up our game in terms of our social media presence. We had a really clear vision of how we wanted our brand to come across but we had worries about whether we would be able to convey this to someone else.

However, Jess was amazing and immediately put us at ease. she was fantastic at working through what we wanted to achieve out of the shoot and also outlining what we needed to do to make the shoot as successful as possible.

On shoot day Jess was such a professional and worked so hard to get exactly what we wanted- and we had a long list of images! She was great at guiding us through all the different shoot scenes and pushing us through the shoot list.

We were beyond thrilled with all our final images. Jess really captured the look and feel of Farmer Christmas and made sure all our formatting worked for social media.

The images have already made such a huge difference to our brand image and awareness on social media. Every photo helps us to tells a story and showcase our products to our followers. Thank you!

Beach House Botanics

The shoot with Jess was great from start to finished. I was initially nervous as I wasn’t sure what to expect. Jess quickly put me at ease and went above and beyond to get the images I needed. The images she captured were perfect and exactly what I wanted for my brand. Now my website has professional images which I think has defiantly made a difference. I will be using her again in the future.
