Depends on complexity (jewellery vs apparel vs bottles). We plan honestly — not a vanity day-rate promise.

Do you style the products?

Yes, as scoped. Props and garment steaming are not free extras if not briefed.

What does retouching include?

A standard, not 40 different tastes. We lock a look you can repeat next season.

Do you shoot video as well?

Simple snippets can be scoped. Full Video Editing is a sister service.

Can you shoot to Amazon / marketplace specs?

Yes. Tell us the channel. Crops and backgrounds differ.

What about usage rights?

Written. Ads vs web vs print differ. We will not leave it implied.

Can you match last year’s set?

If we shot it or you have a tight reference. Bring the reference.

Shopify and WooCommerce delivery?

Crops and file naming for the shop. PDP sets, not a dump of unlabelled RAWs.

Do you shoot lifestyle and pack on the same day?

When the plan says so. Lifestyle is slower. We will not pretend pack-rate on a location day.

What does product photography cost in London?

Depends on SKU count, complexity, lifestyle vs pack, and retouch depth. Share the list and channels.

Will the catalogue still look consistent at SKU 84?

That is the job. Coverage plan, locked light, retouch rules — not one hero and a prayer.

Product images that sell on PDP and in ads

Product photography as a catalogue system, not a single hero

Design Dev plans and produces product photography for UK retailers and makers: consistent lighting, angles, crops for PDP, packs for ads. We shoot for the SKU list and the channel, then retouch to a standard you can repeat next season.If the SKU list is 200 and you budget for 8 hero films, the catalogue will look broken. We plan coverage. Shopify PDPs, marketplaces and Meta ads are different crops — we shoot knowing that.

PDP sets

Angles, details, scale — the shopper’s questions, not a fashion editorial by default.

Cut-outs & packs

White/ghost, consistent shadows. Clean catalogues at SKU 84.

Lifestyle / in-use

When context sells. Props that do not date in six months.

Ad crops

1:1 and 9:16 from the same capture plan. Compression-aware detail.
