E-commerce

With clean, crisp, and professional e-commerce photography, your online store or Amazon listing is about to step up its game. Photographing your products against white backdrops with several angles, our e-commerce product photography is the simplest solution for your online store.

LIFESTYLE

Demonstrate exactly how your product is used in its natural environment with Lifestyle Product Photography. A model, a stylized environment, and a few key props can make a world of difference in showcasing your product’s functionality.

Post-Production Examples

Our post-production team are magicians – at least we think so! Check out a few before and afters below to see what’s possible with post-production. If you’ve got any questions, let us know.

Retouching

Included with every product session is professional retouching for your final selections. Dust, glares, and imperfections will be removed so that your product looks its very best. 

COLOR MASKING

We photograph your product once yet show every color in your line. Simple & easy!

Ghost Mannequins

A ghost mannequin effect gives a product dimension and shows parts of the product that would otherwise be obscured by a mannequin or model in a single shot. If you’re selling jewelry or clothing, this is a great option for you!

CLIPPING PATHS

The e-commerce scene is competitive, and you want your product photos to stand out – in a good way. Clipping paths removes the background from the image so that your product can stand alone.

Our Proven Process

Curious about what it’s like to work with us for your Product Photography? Below is our proven process that we use with our clients to ensure that your experience is seamless (and enjoyable!) from start to finish.

1. Initial Phone Call

First, we’ll hop on the phone together to talk about your product photography needs, discuss your creative vision, and put together a customized quote for your project. 

2. Product Consultation

We love developing long-term relationships with our clients, so we refine your specific needs together in the studio to get everything just right (virtual consultations available). We will dial in the perfect angles, lighting, and requested styling together in this important consultation.

3. Shoot + Post-Production

After we photograph your products, our in-house editing team will put the finishing touches on your images, completing the editing, retouching, and any other post-production requests by hand. 

4. Celebrate!

Within two weeks of your appointment date, we will deliver your finalized, edited images in an online gallery. You’ll then download your gorgeous new images directly from the gallery. You will walk away with images for your brand that you absolutely LOVE. Hooray!

“Bauman Photographers exceeded our expectations with our product photography. Their studio manager was so helpful and kind – she made the entire process easy! I would recommend anybody who needs professional product photography to check out the team at Bauman Photographers. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!”

Gina M.

Case Study:

Perspective Fitwear

As they built out their high-quality fitness wear inventory, the Perspective Fitwear team quickly learned they would need a reliable local commercial photography team to trust with their product photography. We couldn’t be more thrilled with what we’ve produced for Perspective – from fashion photography to classic e-commerce photography.  

Case Study:

Taylor Guitars

Based in San Diego, Taylor Guitars produces luxuriously crafted instruments that require the highest quality product photography to highlight their beauty. The Taylor marketing team needed a reliable product photography team to not only produce cohesive, detailed catalog images, but artistic and eye-catching lifestyle imagery for social media advertising. 

“True artistry! The Bauman Photographers team has a professional and personal touch, and they always anticipate our needs for our shoots together. I am able to simply drop off my products and leave with the full confidence that they will know exactly what to do! I recommend them to everyone!”

Frequently Asked Questions

How many images are included in my session?
We will include up to three images per item (for example, close up, full, and functional). Please let us know if you have any specific requests!
I need to match the product photos that are already on our website. Is that possible?
Thank you for asking! If you need to match a certain style, please be sure to send over an example of the look we should be matching. In most cases, we should be able to replicate a look that has already been decided upon.
Do you offer bulk rates?
Absolutely! Our product bulk rates begin at 10 items.
My web designer needs these images to be specific dimensions for our product catalog. Will you take care of that?
Thank you for letting us know, and yes! Let us know the image orientation and dimensions requirements, and we will be sure to deliver your final images with those specs.
Instead of photographing my product with just a plain backdrop, could I set up a “scene” where it’s being put to use?
We love creating images that put your product into context. Scenes like this require more preparation and resources, but they are totally worth it! Since every scene requires a different amount of set up & prop sourcing, we always create a custom quote for you.
I don’t need full scenes for my product, but I want something more interesting than a white backdrop. What are my options?
We love getting creative! We’ve used concrete, wood, fabric, plants, etc. to create interesting and contextual backdrops for our product shoots. Let us know if you’d like us to create a mock-up for you before we begin the full shoot – we’re happy to give you a preview to be sure you like the work that we’re producing.
I’d like to involve my products in a more in-depth, environmental photoshoot. What would the pricing look like for that?
This type of fully styled shoot would fit under our Lifestyle Product Photography option, which might be more beneficial than a traditional E-Commerce Product Shoot. Inquire with us for a custom quote!
