Frequently asked questions
-
I typically need one to three weeks to prep before a shoot and two to three weeks for edits afterward. Every brand's timeline is different though, and I work with you to figure out what fits your launch date or campaign. If you're on a tighter schedule, I can offer a rush turnaround, just let me know early so I can plan around it.
-
No. I handle every part of the shoot myself, from concepting through prop styling to final edits, so you only need to bring in one person: me. It keeps your production simpler and your team smaller on shoot day.
-
Not at all. I'm based in the East Village, but I regularly receive shipments from anywhere and can shoot for brands who join the session virtually. Location isn't a barrier to working together.
-
Full usage rights for web and marketing are included with every delivery, so you're free to use the images across your site, social, and digital campaigns right away. Print usage is priced separately based on how the images will be used, things like distribution size and placement, and we'll sort that out together as part of your quote.
-
I keep an extensive collection of props and backgrounds on hand, so a lot of shoots are covered by what I already have. If a project calls for something specific I don't own, we set a budget together for it, and you keep those props afterward.
-
Yes. Hands, limbs, and faces come up often in product shoots, especially for lifestyle or in-use shots, and I'm equipped to shoot all of them. Full portraits can be arranged on special request. For models, I can source one or work with a member of your team, and my own hands are available too, as long as the tattoos fit your brand.
-
I work often with delicate and perishable products, including skincare and packaged food, and I plan storage and handling around whatever your product needs. Just flag the specifics ahead of time so I can prep the studio accordingly.
-
Both come down to the scope of your shoot, since a full product line calls for more images and more work than a single hero shot. Pricing follows the same logic, based on things like number of products, image count, and any styling complexity. Reach out with details about your project and I'll put together a quote with clear deliverables, so there are no surprises.
-
You'll receive high-res PNGs of each shot, plus web-ready versions exported to your brand's specific requirements and ratios. Working PSDs are available on request. On-white package shots are delivered clipped, as transparent PNGs, ready to drop onto any background.
-
I do use AI tools as part of my editing process, but every image still starts with an actual shoot: real lighting, real styling, a real product in front of the camera. That's something AI can't fully replicate, and real photography gives your product the character and essence a generated image just can't fake.
Let’s Collaborate
I have created dozens of image libraries, product launch campaigns, and brand refreshes for start-ups and corporations alike. Whichever part of the process you're on, let's collaborate to create beautiful product imagery together, the kind of thoughtful, hands-on work that AI simply can't replicate.
