Product photographs on a white background

Product Photographs on a white background.

Product photographs taken on a white background are probably my number one request. They feature in just about every website and catalogue where the product needs to stand out on a plain background. Product photographs on a white background  also make a designers job easier, as they will blend into a website using white as its main background colour such that you can’t see the edges of the photo itself.  You can tell when a high quality design and good photographs have been used as you can’t see a grey, yellow, or magenta colour cast as the so called white photo background doesn’t match the background of the page.

Most of the products on white backgrounds tend to be small and can easily be undertaken in our Cambridge based photo studio. We have a drop-off and pick-up facility available, whereby you can just deliver your products to us, we’ll photograph them on the white background and upload your images where you can download at your leisure and then pick up your products when you next drop by. We regularly photograph, household goods, food, jewellery, luxury goods and  clothing against a white background. Though we have moved studios to photograph larger items, for this we needed a bigger studio and a bigger white background. Its not that many places that can fit in over a hundred elephants !!

Advertising and Product Photography – Cambridge

These are a couple of test shots showing ‘product appreciation’.

I confess I’d not heard of this marketing phrase before, but I certainly understand it in terms of photographing products for advertising.

Product Photography in Bedfordshire

The brief for this assignment was to product images for display as large acrylic prints on the walls of the clients new offices.

Having met with the client, I borrowed a single product and took a range of test shots in the studio to give them an idea of the type of lighting, colours and backgrounds that could be produced, and having reviewed these they decided on the reflective surface and a blue partially lit background. But also they liked the closeup shots I’d added into the brief as it wasn’t something they’d originally considered, but that they really liked the results.

We then set a date to shoot all of the clients products in this range and used a meeting room to accommodate my studio equipment. I often bring the studio to the client for some assignments, as access to products is not always easy and some items can be bulky. It also reduces the packing and unpacking time, making the shoot smoother and quicker.

I link my laptop to the camera, so the client can see the images as they are shot and we can proof the images as they are taken. This allows for adjustments and reviews with other team members who will often be part of the overall approval. The resultant images can be posted online for final review, always handy if team members and approvals staff are not all based in the same office, or aren’t in the same country.

Once the client had selected their chosen images to be turned into acrylic frames, all they had to do was sit back and wait for the results. In this case it was a combination of both single and multiple image displays.The acrylic frames arrived a few weeks later and the online images sadly don’t do them justice, the quality of print, materials and fittings is simply stunning.

So if you’re looking for photographs of any description to adorn your office walls, why not have custom made acrylic images to show off your products, services or people to their very best, portraying your organisation through high quality images really does make a visible impression on your visitors.

Apricots – Food Photography in Cambridge, London and the South East

This was an image that started out as a test shot, but I rather like it.

Food photography is generally about associations. Fruit is good for you, so the subject here really speaks for itself. As a product shot, you have to think what else does it need. How about natural ? A wood surface ? But it seems the trend to associate anything healthy with a white background. Clean healthy, natural, white, wood. So here we have it.

There are two objects in the background, just small drink glasses but suitably out of focus to just add a little lift to the subject.

Interior Photography in Hertfordshire

Here’s just a few images taken for a client I regularly work with.

Their requirement is to show the details of their product in the environment it will be used, and I regularly visit their showrooms and homes of their customers to take before and after shots. Its important to show the close up details of any interior, not just the whole room, as customers will almost always take a closer inspection and touch the product itself. Its important therefore to produce images that give them a sense of what to expect.

So in these shots, the focus is on texture, colour, sheen, as well as the style of the product.

You’ll notice I haven’t told you what the product is, and I think that if you’ve guessed correctly, you’ll know that the interior photographs convey exactly what you anticipated. For those who can’t spot it, then clearly it fits naturally in the interior I’ve photographed, exactly as it should.
