There are so many factors that have to come together at the same time to create a perfect photo, and sometimes it seems it is impossible. Still, as a photographer, we know it is part of our job; and reaching any of those factors can make us closer to our success rate. here are some of those steps:

1-Light
some of the most commonly known light types are Hard Light, Soft Light, Defused Light, Studio Flash (Strobes), Natural Light & more.

2-Composition

3- Angle, Eye Level

4-White Balance For product photography to get the correct colour of the product.

5-Capturing in RAW format
RAW files are almost equivalent to an analog negative. RAW file has all the possible information, but JPEG clips a little bit of the file information, and JPEGs are compressed files form.

6-Image editing or Post-processing ( By Camera RAW & Adobe Photoshop)
By image editing or post-production, there are many options to work on, and even with a few changes, we can create a photo to pop.

• Why you want to get the photo?
Is it to spread information about a particular topic?
Is it for advertising?
Is it to provide entertainment?

• How will it be used?

• Are they going to be used on social media, or will they end up on a huge billboard poster?

• Who are your target audience?

• What type of content will you have? For deciding on the look and feel.

• In two or three words, describe the feeling you want.
Professional
Bright and fun
Grungy and underground or ...

• List two or three colours you want?

• What are some examples you like?
Please provide me with some samples to show me what you like.

I prefer to capture ‘RAW’ files rather than Jpegs, which means the camera doesn’t do any processing internally. This gives me more data and more detail to work with and lets me be even more creative with the finished image. And it’s those fine adjustments of shadow, highlight, colour, clarity, sharpness, and so on which really bring the image to life, just making the best of every area of the image. It’s a hugely rewarding process, but it is only possible if you did a good job of capturing the data in the first place! After that, I open the photo in Adobe Photoshop, where I can be sometimes more creative with huge changes – such as stripping in a different sky or adding a retro Instagram style filter or more.

• Do you need Product Photography or Production Product Photography?
The white background is the number one layout for product photography, and if you need it, we will be happy to help you.
Production Product Photography is where you have thousands of products. Each requires multiple images, and it is about producing good images, not perfect images, which we do NOT provide; production product photography.

• Do you need a still-life product photo?
Product photography photos usually focus on providing a clear image of the product without distractions. However, there are still life shots, which are usually more artistically and more creative in contrast to it.

• How many products do you have, and how many photos do you need?
Our pricing is based on the total number of photos in a shoot; for example, if you sell a product on Amazon and want 7 product photos of the same item, you will be charged 7 photos. We always recommend at least two photos of each product-item.

• Do you need a Model?
At this time, we do not have a model.

• Are you going to ship your products to us for photography?
If you are going to ship your products to us for photography, please carefully pack up all the items you need to photograph and ship them to us via UPS/FedEx or USPS ( To Have Tracking Number). Pay special attention to the products you send; ensure any labels are straight, and the product is in excellent condition.

• If you send us your products, do you want them to be shipped back?
If you want your items returned, we do ship them back to you. We can either ship them back on your UPS or FedEx Account or Bill you for the return shipping via UPS/FedEx. Please note we do not return items via USPS unless you provide a return label. You may also include a return label for UPS or FedEx. If you do not want your items returned, let us know, we will either dispose of your product at your request or donate reusable items.
Let us know what you intend to have us do with your products within 30 days after your photoshoot (return, dispose, donate), or we will dispose of them for you.

• Do you want to have a 360 product photography?
We do NOT provide 360 product photography.

We do NOT provide video.

• What sizes are your products?
We do tabletop product photography so that we can accept small to medium-sized products.

• What are you going to use photos for?

• Do you know what size your file should be?

• Headshot photography:
I love it because I can help a professional get his resume noticed or help someone make a great first impression on her/his dating profile, and allow them to see their own beauty through someone else’s eyes. It’s a great feeling to help boost someone’s self-confidence!

• Product photography:
I love it because, believe it or not; your photos can have a huge impact on someone's business and a family's income.

• Making a huge impact on other people's self-confidence, businesses in a positive way and growth.
• I set my own hours. As a night owl who does my best work later in the day, I schedule all my shoots in the afternoon or evening or night.
• I get paid to do what I love. As a photographer, I get to create art with subjects I enjoy. Not only do I spend my days focusing on things I find beautiful and interesting, but people seek me out to pay me for it!
• I choose my own salary. I don’t have to rely on my boss to tell me what my salary is. I am ultimately in charge of what I make.

We have professional cameras, lighting, reflectors, diffusers, soft-boxes, props, and all the tools needed to allow us to take product photos. We do Tethered Photography. For post-production, we open our RAW file photos in Camera Raw and then in Photoshop to make your product looks it's best.
"We understand how important product images and their quality matters to your business.", so there is always a tendency to create successful photos for our clients. Still, there is not always absolute in photography. As we see in communities, not two people have the same opinions. We do not all like the same things, so that some people would deem a perfect photo; others may not deem it perfect. So, there is no push to choose us.

Changes we have made for you to keep you safe from Covid-19.

• At this time, I am just providing product photography and short time headshots photo sessions.

• Only one client would be captured at any given time. For headshots, there would be no poses methods.

• I provide "Tethered Photography," which means shooting with a camera linked to the computer. Hence, the images bypass the camera’s memory storage and go directly to a photo management software program on the computer. Tethering software then displays the images on the laptop screen as they are captured so clients can see photos clearly on a monitor much bigger than the camera itself can offer at the same time. And chose the one they like in the same session. Tethering not only reduces the session time but also, we can keep our social distance.
