Commercial product photography
Product photos
Northlight provide a range of packshot and digital product photography services as part of our commercial photographic services. We cover promotional, advertising and catalogue work for web and print use.
Our images are always supplied to meet your needs, whether for web or print use.
They come with all our expertise in colour management and high quality reproduction.
We aim to produce product photography that is both informative and eye-catching, for brochures, display stands and web use.
We can provide high quality prints of images to special order.
We want our product photographs to be just what you wanted, and we can work closely with your web and print designers if required.
Product images are supplied in digital formats to suit -your- requirements, typically 'web ready' JPEG files at 72dpi or 'print ready' at 300dpi in either tiff or Photoshop psd formats.
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.

Image detail and texture
An important part of getting the image you want, is conveying the subtlety of texture and materials. Careful attention to lighting and the technical aspects of product photography provide the source images you are looking for.
Move your mouse over the image below and you will see how much detail is captured in our high resolution images (the zoomed view is an enlargement of the photo below)

When can you take my photos?
We can sometimes fit in work at only a few days notice, especially for smaller items. Our aim is to accommodate your requirements and provide commercial product photography that fits in with your plans.
Do you work on location?
We are happy to discuss bringing equipment to your factory for location based product photography. This is particularly so for our range of Industrial Photography services.
The image to the right was taken for a brochure for industrial control equipment.
How much does all this cost?
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.
All commercial photography prices are for guidance only and exclude VAT.
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.
For more complex sets and lighting we may charge on a time basis rather than per item (see our commercial rates) - please give us a call if you would like to discuss what you need.
Our general prices are for smaller items (less than 40cm cubed). If you have specific requirements for large items, just let us know.
Product photography prices - a guideFor small (individual) item web product photography at Northlight Images, there is usually a charge per item photographed. Images (plain background) are supplied on CD (£12) or DVD (£18) in web res (72 dpi) sRGB JPEG (other formats and higher resolution images for print use are available to order) Images are colour corrected, but otherwise not retouched in any way. Additional specialist image manipulation (Photoshop) is by prior arrangement and depends on the type of work undertaken. It is charged on an hourly basis at £88 per hour or part thereof. Prices per item (excl. VAT)
For two or more images of the same item - 40% reduction (ie for 10-19 rate the first image of the item would be £24, while subsequent shots of the same item would be £14.40) A group of small objects normally counts as one item - for larger groups, please contact us. Volume pricing is based on number of items, and is on a per-session basis (i.e. one item photographed each week for ten weeks is charged at ten times the 1 item rate) Notes
We also have a guide to our standard terms and conditions for commercial photography services - please just ask if you are unsure of anything, we are happy to help clarify matters in plain English!

Training / education / presentations
A lot of people are trying to bring an understanding of colour management to their business. The advantages, such as 'getting it right first time' can quickly translate into a quicker turnaround -- and increased profitability. However, there is still a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to how to best introduce such changes. Call us for independent advice and specialised training -- let us evaluate your workflow.

Recently this has included helping an upmarket Estate Agency improve both the quality of its photographs -and- the quality/accuracy of its printed brochures. For more examples of the kind of topics covered, see our teaching page or our Lectures/seminars section. We have a page specifically devoted to digital product photography courses.
