Stunning product  Video 

Your brand isn’t just a product—it’s an experience. My photography and cinematography bridge the gap between where your brand is today and where it deserves to be. I don’t just capture images; I craft visual stories that bring your products to life. Every shot is designed to highlight the craftsmanship, texture, and essence of your brand, making it irresistible to your customers. From dynamic motion visuals to striking stills, I ensure your products don’t just look good—they demand attention and drive sales.

WHY MY WORK STANDS OUT:

  • Strategic Storytelling: Every image and video is thoughtfully composed to create an emotional connection with your audience.
  • Next-Level Detail: I highlight the unique features, textures, and design elements that set your product apart.
  • Agency-Level Quality, Without the Agency Price Tag: High-impact visuals that elevate your brand, while meeting deadlines and budgets.
  • Results-Driven Content: Not just pretty pictures—strategic visuals that convert browsers into buyers.

I partner with brands that understand the power of premium marketing. If you’re ready to level up your brand’s presence, let’s create something unforgettable.

Video + Motion

Scroll-stopping cinematic product video that performs better than still photography on social media and has increased purchase conversion.

Studio Photo

Exquisite lighting and unique setups with simple backgrounds for e-commerce or dramatic scenes to bring your ads to life.

Lifestyle Photo

Action, outdoor, and lifestyle imagery that highlights the product in use for context, emotional connection, and a diverse product look.

What Are the Options?

As a product photographer, cinematographer, and content creator, I’ve found that each option has unique advantages. In the studio, I have complete control over lighting, props, and backgrounds, allowing for a consistent and polished look. On the other hand, shooting on-location or outdoors brings authenticity and a natural feel to your product, especially for action and lifestyle content.

Most still photo content can also be captured in motion, whether that is in the studio or on-location. The result is lot of options, which I’m happy to help you figure out and prioritize for your brand. Projects generally fall into these buckets:

  • STUDIO PHOTO + VIDEO: Encompasses everything from a product on a clean white background, to more creative techniques e.g., styled faux sets, fog, dramatic lighting, dark backgrounds, light painting, stop motion animation, and ghost mannequin for apparel. For still photography, these are retouched photos to create the perfect representation of the product—or video that is close-up, detailed, and with dramatic product movements to show the product from many angles.
  • ON-LOCATION/OUTDOOR PHOTO + VIDEO: “Outdoor studio” or “outdoor glamour” is a term I use when shooting a product on-location to combine a high-end, dramatic look with an outdoor environment for a more natural result.
  • LIFESTYLE/ACTION PHOTO + VIDEO: Studio imagery shows the product itself, whereas action and lifestyle imagery highlight the product in-use. When combined with studio photo/video, the lifestyle element gives the product context, emotional connection, and a diverse look for a campaign.
  • BEHIND THE SCENES BRAND LOOKS: Wouldn’t it be neat to give your customers a look at what your company is like behind the scenes? How do you make your product? Who are the people that are designing it, building prototypes, or packaging it to ship? Shooting photos and video of this can help build trust with customers, give you some different social media assets, and help tell the brand story beyond just words on a website.

Photo vs. Video

Combining still images in the studio, along with lifestyle imagery for context, and video with captivating product motion… now we’ve unlocked a successful product campaign. Ultimately, the decision on photo vs. video depends on your brand’s specific needs, the message you want to convey to your consumer, and your budget. For many brands, the ideal answer is that they want both still images and videos. They can serve different purposes, can be used in different ways, and can tell different stories.

There’s no doubt that shooting video of a product in the studio—in addition lifestyle —helps to tell a diverse and compelling story. Video also tends to out-perform still photography in social media engagement and visibility. According to Vimeo, “video is no longer a nice-to have; it’s a must-have with 91% of businesses using video to engage and convert audiences.”

Video projects usually benefit from footage from multiple types of setups and techniques to create a captivating result. This can include outdoor action using the product, lifestyle and setting the scene, dramatic studio and close-ups, and sometimes voice over or someone on-camera walking a viewer through a product’s features. For example, for a product-based YouTube video like this one I created for Niner Bikes, all of these elements are combined, with a host narrating while various product-focused elements are shown. Deliverables for video can be vast, from simple GIF cinemagraphs (moving photos), to social media ads, Instagram reels, long-form explainer videos, to YouTube episode content.

How Much Will This Cost?

Does your brand have growth goals? Will this type of product imagery help you achieve those goals?

If so, this is an investment in your brand that should pay for itself in the short term with increased conversion, sales, and engagement; and in the long term with increased brand recognition and awareness.

Figuring out budget and pricing are the least fun parts of a project. Pricing for a project can take into account: creative/shoot cost, pre-production time, post-production editing time, usage/licensing, equipment rental, and any expenses for travel, props, set materials, talent/model fees, etc.

Depending on project specifics and client preference, project costs can be structured in multiple ways. For projects that have a defined scope (e.g., 6 images of this item, in the studio, with this background) flat project pricing works great. For projects that are open-ended or ongoing, dynamic pricing can work well. A retainer arrangement is a valuable option when projects are consistent and ongoing.

In general, most of projects fall between $3,000 and $15,000. I realize that sounds like beating around the bush—and it is to some extent—but not with the goal of being mysterious and confusing. The reality is that every project is vastly different, from the type of product, deadlines, complexity, location, equipment needed, models needed, weather, deliverables, etc.
