What’s included in our e-commerce photography service
A standard e-commerce set covers packshots on white, ghost-mannequin shots for apparel, 360° spins and styled lifestyle frames. Where a product needs motion, we add short clips for the product page and paid social.
Files come back cropped, compressed and named to the spec of the platform you sell on — Shopify, Amazon, Noon or your own store — so nothing gets rejected at upload. Most catalogues ship in 3–7 business days, and for fast-moving SKUs we run recurring shoots on a fixed schedule. Pricing is quoted per project once we know the SKU count and the formats you need.
How to choose an e-commerce photography service in Dubai
Five things worth checking before you hand over a catalogue:
- Ask for a test shot on one of your own SKUs. Portfolios are curated; your product on their set is the real answer.
- Check the delivery spec, not just the samples: resolution, background tolerance, crop ratios and file naming for each marketplace.
- Confirm who does the retouching and how many rounds are included before extra charges start.
- Ask what happens on a reshoot — damaged item, wrong colour on screen, a SKU that arrives late.
- Match the studio to your volume. A team set up for 20 hero images works differently from one shooting 500 SKUs a week.
Our studio sits in Dubai Investment Park 2, so products, samples and reshoots stay in one place instead of travelling between a rented space and a freelance retoucher. Send us the SKU list and we will come back with a quote.
How our e-commerce photography service runs, from SKU list to upload
Send the SKU list and your store links. We come back with a shot list per product — angles, ghost-mannequin or on-model, lifestyle frames, and short video where the product needs motion — together with the delivery spec for the marketplace you sell on. A quote usually lands within 15 minutes.
Samples reach the studio in Dubai Investments Park 2 by courier or drop-off. Shooting, retouching and any reshoot happen at the same address with one team, so a wrong colour on screen or a late SKU costs a day rather than another round of logistics. Most catalogues ship in 3–7 business days; brands with fast-moving SKUs keep a recurring slot instead of briefing every launch from scratch.
Files come back cropped, compressed and named to spec. Fine jewellery runs through the jewellery photography studio workflow — macro, reflection control and colour-accurate gold — and moving product goes to e-commerce video production.
Looking for e-commerce product photography services near you in Dubai?
The studio sits at 8, 47 Street, Dubai Investments Park 2, on the Expo City side of the city, with parking at the door and ground-floor load-in for pallets, rails and bulky packaging. Typical drive times: Expo City and Dubai South 15–20 minutes, Dubai Marina and JBR around 20, JLT 22–25, Downtown and Business Bay 25–30, DIFC 28–35. Treat those as honest averages — Dubai traffic moves them.
Most sellers only make the drive once. Samples can arrive by courier and be collected the same way after the shoot is signed off, files come back over a link, and reshoots stay in-house. If you are close enough to visit, come in for the first shoot day and approve the look on the spot; catalogue rounds after that usually run without you.
We are open Monday to Saturday, 10:00–20:00. Send the SKU list on WhatsApp to +971 56 839 9199 and we will come back with a quote and the first available shoot day.
What an e-commerce photography studio changes for your catalogue
A studio is what makes a catalogue look like one catalogue. Shooting products on a desk by a window gives you frames that never match: the white drifts, shadows fall differently in July than in November, and a category page ends up looking like five different shops. In a room with controlled light the same setup can be rebuilt for the next batch, so SKUs shot months apart still sit next to each other without a visible seam.
Our e-commerce photo studio sits in Dubai Investments Park 2 and is set up for the four things listings actually need: packshots on pure white, ghost-mannequin for apparel, 360° spins for products buyers want to turn around, and styled lifestyle frames for the top of the page and paid social. Small items that punish sloppy light — watches, gold, glass — run through the jewellery photography studio setup with macro and reflection control.
Shooting, retouching and reshoots stay under one roof with the same team, which is the practical difference between a studio and a booked space plus a freelance retoucher: a wrong colour on screen costs a day, not another round of logistics. Volume is planned rather than improvised — most catalogues ship in 3–7 business days, and brands adding SKUs every month keep a recurring slot. Products that need motion move to e-commerce video production, and broader brand work sits with the photo production team.
