Who shoots it

Product Photography days are run by the same photographer start to finish — the person who lights the set is the person who delivers the retouch.

What's included.

From single SKU pure-white shots to fully styled seasonal campaigns, our product shoots are built for ecommerce PDPs, Amazon A+, and paid social. Bring the product — we handle styling, lighting, prop sourcing, and retouch.

What a product shoot hands back.

A product day at CRTE Studio is measured in SKUs, angles and files, not in vague creative promises. Before we quote it we build the shot list with you, so the number of frames leaving the studio is agreed in writing before the first light goes up.

  • Starter sessions deliver two angles per product on a limited SKU set. Catalog and campaign days add more angles only when the shot list agrees them before the first light goes up.
  • One pure-white cutout per SKU on a transparent PNG, sized to the 1600 px minimum Amazon enforces on main images.
  • Square 1:1, portrait 4:5 and landscape 16:9 crops of every hero frame, exported straight into a Shopify-ready folder.
  • Optional 24-frame or 36-frame turntable spin per SKU, delivered as a numbered JPEG sequence plus a looping MP4.
  • Dust, scuff, seam and reflection retouching on every selected frame, with label text left legible at 100 percent zoom.
  • A layered PSD for the two lead frames so your team can swap background colour without a reshoot.

How a product day runs on the clock.

  1. 8:30 AM
    Call time

    You or your courier arrive with the products, packaging and any props. We unbox, inspect for damage and confirm the shot list SKU by SKU.

  2. 9:00 AM
    Set build

    Cyc wall or tabletop set is lit and metered, colour checker shot, and the tethering station calibrated so you see frames on a colour-managed monitor.

  3. 9:45 AM
    Shooting

    We work in SKU blocks, roughly twenty to thirty minutes each. You approve the lead frame for a block before we move on, so nothing is discovered late.

  4. 4:30 PM
    Wrap

    Cards are offloaded to two drives, products are repacked into their original cartons, and anything shipped in goes back out with a tracking number the same week.

  5. 5 business days
    Delivery window

    The retouched gallery lands in Pixieset with a download-all archive. One revision round is included and usually closes within two business days.

Shipping your product to the studio.

Ship products so they arrive at least two business days before the session. That buffer lets us unbox, steam, polish and test-light the trickiest items before your clock starts, which is usually worth an extra two or three SKUs on the day.

  • Two units of every SKU where possible — one pristine hero and one spare for handling.
  • Retail packaging, inserts and any hang tags you want photographed alongside the product.
  • A written shot list, or a link to competitor images that show the angles you want matched.
  • Pantone references or a printed brand sheet if colour accuracy is contractual for you.
  • Fresh batteries, cables or accessories for anything that lights up or has to be shown in use.
  • The exact pixel and file-type specification from every marketplace you sell on.

Three product shoots, counted out.

Fourteen skincare SKUs

Fourteen bottles and jars, eight angles each: 112 retouched frames plus fourteen transparent cutouts, shot in one nine-hour day and delivered in seven business days.

Six hardware tools

Six tools with 36-frame spins, six clean hero shots and eighteen detail macros — 60 stills, six spin sequences and six looping MP4 files from a single session.

Forty apparel pieces

Forty garments shot flat-lay and on invisible mannequin: 120 frames, two crops each for Shopify and Meta, delivered as 240 exports across ten business days.

Product delivery and licence.

Standard product delivery is five business days from wrap. CRTE Rapid is the rush add-on already on the site, applied to a standard package once availability is confirmed. Raw contact sheets can be released within 24 hours if your merchandising team needs to start selecting before the retouch is finished.

You receive a perpetual, worldwide, unlimited licence to every delivered product frame, covering marketplace listings, paid media, packaging, print and wholesale line sheets. There are no per-image credits, no expiring web licences and no separate fee when you later run the same image as an advertisement. CRTE keeps the right to show finished frames in its own portfolio, and we will hold that back in writing when a launch is under embargo.
