Product photography

Clean, consistent product images for ecommerce catalogs

Create a catalog that feels organized from one product to the next. Coconut photographs products for online stores, line sheets, marketplaces, packaging support, advertising, and other sales materials, with the shot list and delivery specifications agreed before production.

Straightforward work starts at $26 per approved final image. See pricing guidance

Best fit

When product photography is the right approach

White-background catalogs

Straightforward hero views, alternate angles, details, packaging, and scale images on a clean background.

Product lines with several SKUs

Sets that need consistent scale, camera angle, crop, background, shadow, color, and file naming across variants.

Products that need close control

Reflective surfaces, labels, grouped items, texture, assembly, and other details that should be reviewed before the session.

What you receive

A useful image set, not a folder of disconnected files

The goal is a complete, usable image set that makes products easy to compare without flattening the character of the brand.

Consistent capture

Lighting, camera position, product scale, and crop are planned for the set rather than improvised for each image.

Standard retouching

Routine dust cleanup, minor surface cleanup, color balancing, crop, and background treatment are completed according to the estimate.

Files prepared for use

Final dimensions, format, color profile, naming, and channel variants are defined in the brief so the files can move into the catalog with less rework.

Typical deliverables

The final list is confirmed in the project brief because formats, dimensions, views, and retouching vary by project.

  • Agreed hero, angle, detail, packaging, and scale views.
  • White, light neutral, transparent, or other scoped background treatment.
  • Standard cleanup and color balancing.
  • High-resolution final files and web-ready variants when requested.
  • Agreed crop ratios and naming convention.
  • Final delivery through Lenso or another method stated in the proposal.

Prepare the project

Details that make scope and production clearer

Send the product list and shot requirements before shipping anything. The studio will review assembly, cleaning, label placement, surface condition, special supports, or reflective materials that may require added preparation.

  • Product or SKU list with quantities and variants.
  • Required views for each product.
  • Intended channels and aspect ratios.
  • Brand guidelines and reference images.
  • Product dimensions, weight, assembly, and handling notes.
  • Notes about surfaces that are reflective, translucent, soft, flexible, or easily damaged.
  • A prepaid return label if the products should be mailed back.

Other ways to build the complete image set

Amazon product photography

Build a main image and supporting views that explain the product clearly. Coconut can photograph clean product views, details, packaging, scale, and scoped lifestyle or composite images. Sellers remain responsible for confirming the current requirements for their category and listing.

360 product photography

A 360 spin uses a controlled sequence of product views captured around a turntable. The result can be delivered as a frame sequence, animated preview, or another scoped output for a compatible product viewer.

Lifestyle product photography

Lifestyle photography places the product in a scene that supports the brand and the way the item is used. Projects can include small studio sets, surfaces, props, hands or talent when arranged, and carefully scoped composites.

Common questions

Details that often come up for this service

What information do you need for an estimate?

Start with the product or SKU list, variants, quantities, and the final views required for each item. Include the intended sales channels, aspect ratios, file dimensions, references, product dimensions and weight, preparation needs, deadline, shipping plan, and any special handling or retouching. The more complete the brief is, the more accurate the estimate can be.

How should I prepare products before shipping or drop-off?

Products should arrive complete, clean, functional, and ready to photograph unless preparation is included in the estimate. Assemble parts when practical, remove retail stickers that should not appear, protect fragile surfaces, and identify the correct label or display side. For apparel, confirm steaming, lint removal, tags, pinning, stuffing, and styling responsibilities. Include written handling instructions for fragile, reflective, perishable, valuable, regulated, or unusual items.

Can you photograph reflective, translucent, fragile, or oversized products?

Often, yes, but those products need a case-by-case review. Send dimensions, weight, material, surface finish, handling needs, and reference photos before shipping. The studio may request a custom setup, added preparation time, a different background, or a local production plan.

Can I ship products from outside Washington?

Yes. Clients throughout the United States can ship products after the scope, schedule, receiving details, and return plan are confirmed. Do not send products before the studio accepts the project and provides shipping instructions.

What retouching is included?

Standard retouching generally covers routine dust and lint cleanup, minor surface cleanup, color balancing, crop, and the background treatment described in the estimate. Advanced compositing, major product reconstruction, label replacement, extensive reflection work, shape changes, heavy wrinkle repair, added or removed parts, and new creative directions are additional scope unless they are specifically listed in the proposal.

How do proofs and revisions work?

Proofs are shared through Lenso when enabled for the project. The client reviews the images, leaves asset-specific comments, and submits consolidated feedback. The number of revision rounds and the difference between a correction, revision, and reshoot are defined in the proposal. A changed shot list, new angle, new product condition, or new creative direction may require a revised estimate.

How are final files delivered?

Approved files are released through the delivery method listed in the proposal, usually the Lenso client portal. Lenso can provide individual downloads, a packaged delivery, or a delivery manifest when enabled. Final downloads may depend on approval and payment terms for the project.

What file formats and sizes will I receive?

File specifications are confirmed before production. Typical delivery may include high-resolution JPEG files, PNG files when transparency is required, and web-ready variants in the agreed pixel dimensions, aspect ratios, color profile, and naming convention. The studio does not deliver RTF image files. Raw camera files and layered working files are not included unless the proposal says they are.

Who owns the photographs and what usage rights do I receive?

Unless a written agreement says otherwise, Coconut retains copyright in the photographs and grants the client a nonexclusive commercial license to use the approved final images for the uses stated in the proposal. A copyright transfer, exclusive license, broad third-party resale right, or unusual usage arrangement must be agreed in writing.

How do invoices and payments work?

Payment timing, deposits, due dates, cancellation terms, and refunds are stated in the proposal and invoice. When Lenso invoicing is enabled, the payment link opens a Stripe-hosted invoice page. Lenso does not store card details or hold client funds. Payment methods depend on the studio's Stripe settings.
