Product photography - Leicester, UK

Studio and location based (on-site) product photography

Northlight Images provides a range of packshot digital product photography services in Leicestershire, the UK East Midlands (Northampton, Nottingham and Derby).

Our images are always supplied to meet your needs, whether for web use (on-line catalogue photography) or higher resolution print use, for catalogues or promotional material. They come with all our expertise in colour management and high quality reproduction.

Our aim is always to produce product photography that is both informative and eye-catching. We want our product photographs to be just what you wanted, and we can work closely with your web and print designers if required.

Work can be studio based or on site product photography - in your factory, studio or office and we use the same advanced cameras and lenses whether in the studio or in your factory.

We also provide product photography training for organisations wishing to set up their own in-house product photography facilities – a particularly popular option for small start-up web companies with restrictive budgets and lots of products.

We can always provide written quotations and agree costs in advance - please give us a call if you would like to discuss a project or get a firmer estimate for your product photography requirements.

Studio based photography

Pricing for our packshot small item product photography service is based on number of items, the number of shots of each item and the final usage of the images (web and/or print). Collection and return of items is usually the client's responsibility, although we can arrange for this if needed.

Our general prices are for smaller items (less than 40cm cubed). If you have specific requirements for large items, just let us know.

When can you take my photos?

We can sometimes fit in work at only a few days notice, especially for smaller items.

What we supply

Images – whether taken in the studio or on location - are supplied, on CD in digital formats to suit -your- requirements, typically 'web ready' JPEG files at 72dpi or 'print ready' at 300dpi and whatever size you need, in either tiff or Photoshop psd formats.

All images are colour corrected, but otherwise not re-touched in any way. Specialist image manipulation (Photoshop) is available, charged on an hourly basis of £85 per hour, or part thereof.

As part of our quality control procedures, we will only supplyimages in CMYK formats upon receipt of precise ICC profiles and/or conversion details, along with a written specification of the conversion requirements. (Note there may be a charge for some CMYK image conversion work).

We can produce CD based 'web galleries' of your product photography and will quote for any additional image enhancement or processing work that you may require.

Photography of very small items - Macrophotography

We can photograph very small items, such as electronic components.

Other components we've photographed have been under 1 mm square, and have clearly shown the writing on them.

We have a page showing more details of our commercial macrophotography services.

If you are interested in specialist photography like this, please give Keith Cooper a call and he will happily discuss the sorts of images we can create for you.

Working on location

Large industrial products are often only assembled during fabrication and on site after delivery.

As part of our industrial photography service, we are able take photographs during construction, on completion of the project and if required, at the final customers’ installation location.

We are happy to discuss bringing equipment to your offices, factory or studio for location based product photography. We can set up a full product photography studio area for you.
